  • When should we bring in the landscape designer if we're building a new home and new landscape?

    For new construction projects, you can count on landscaping as the final step. Planned correctly, landscape installation can begin during the final construction stages. Talk to landscape architects and builders from the get-go so they can get you on their schedule.


    Sometimes landscape architects and designers work concurrently with architects and civil engineers on landscape plans, but your designer will need a finalized site plan with a building footprint and finished grading to work from. Reach out today to get started with our skilled team of landscape designers.

  • How much does a landscape cost, and what are the variables?

    The cost of a newly installed landscape can vary widely. Just like designing a house, with all things being equal, it will cost more to design a large area than a small one. The price then increases depending on how many built elements you want to include and the types of materials you choose. Including features like landscape lighting and more can also affect the cost.

  • Can I pour concrete myself?

    Although it may be tempting to roll up your sleeves, mix up some concrete, and tackle a concrete project yourself to save money, you'll likely spend most of your time preparing for the project. From planning a complete and realistic budget to considering help from professional concrete contractors for certain steps of the project to making sure your project is allowed by the local permitting office, there’s a lot to do before you start mixing up that gray matter! 


    Pouring and finishing concrete is hard work, and often the convenience of hiring a contractor outweighs the enticement of a challenge for most homeowners. Give us a call today for expert assistance.

  • Can I make the concrete look more appealing?

    There are many options for upgrading concrete. Here are a couple of options to consider.


    - Adding color directly into the concrete mix

    - Stamping the concrete to look like brick or stone


    Stamping the concrete is not only pleasing to the eye but also helps disguise any future flaws from being quite as noticeable. Contact our concrete contractors today to boost your concrete's curb appeal.

  • Does concrete require maintenance?

    Concrete can last a rather long time. According to House Grail, a concrete driveway can last between 25 and 50 years, unlike seashell, stone, and asphalt. While concrete is pretty durable on its own, here are some things you can do to ensure it stays in good shape.


    - Avoid applying deicing chemicals during the winter

    - Don’t use harsh acids to remove stains

    - Clean your concrete regularly and apply a sealant to protect it from the elements
