"I am a very picky person on how I like things done. This has been the best experience I have ever had with work done at my house. I needed the wall behind the fire pit completely redone as it was cracked badly. Emanuel and his crew tore down the old wall and dug a better foundation, added more bars to the structure to make it more solid. I had flagstone removed from the seating area & fire pit surface and replaced with travertine tiles. The bottom portion was to be stucco but in mid project I changed my mind and asked Emanuel to place a stone facade knowing it would be extra money which I thought it was reasonable. Emanuel was very supportive even though it was altering his timeline. We are super happy with the results. Emanuel and his crew are the best! I wish every person had the work ethics and detail oriented principles that Emanuel exhibits on his work."

"1 out of 10? 100 stars! STOP LOOKING NOW I’m not kidding you! YOU HAVE JUST FOUND THE LANDSCAPER YOU WANT! Where do I start?! Craig, the owner, was punctual, arrived every day. He answer all texts and phone calls instantly. They started and didn’t wander to other jobs, but gave us 100% attention. Everything was done from designing to the last plant put in with perfection. Think I’m exaggerating? I AM NOT! I’ve never seen a team work so cohesively! Craig is a friend to us from the beginning. Took us to the nursery helping us pick plants for every one of our needs. He worked with one of the many nurseries in this area that know and respect him. He arrived on time, hooked up with one of the knowledgeable nursery professionals to help walk through and explain and field questions; Craig was right with us, collaborating with us and the nursery for best choices. Craig gets deep discounts because he is THE landscaper of the year. Actually has been awarded the best landscaper since 2009 I believe it was, every year since. Who else could you want working in your yard? By the time they left, every single pebble was in its place. They even swept and water sprayed up all the sand and rocks left in the street or gutter areas. He checked up with us at least twice after the first and second week to make sure watering schedule was right. Oh, and they guarantee the plants! You ever have problems, he’s a call away because the yard they built is their masterpiece, they want it working for you forever. Best thing about Craig and his professional crew...well it’s hard to choose...they come everyday, work all day, Craig the owner was on-site with us everyday. Craig’s personality? Let’s put it this way, I didn’t want the job to finish because he was an instant friend. So honest, kind, authentic...we had quite a few laughs together. His personality is what makes his crew and work so fun and so perfect. He isn’t done until you are 100% satisfied. I just can’t put into words adequately how good this company is! When my yard was all finished ( it took only two days!), I cried . I was so stunned and thankful for my piece of paradise. I’ve ran out of texting strength, but not adjectives. So, if you want quality, honesty, transparency, award winning work and results...stop looking. You’ve found it right here!"

"Mike and his team provided excellent service that was within budget and finished on time. After an initial consultation, we received plans that checked off every need/want that we had. The pricing/contract was very straightforward and all questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The team went above and beyond in certain areas and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who is looking for landscape design and/or implementation."

"Pleasant on the phone but person was upfront in telling me they only do projects which exceed $5K. Since I didn't want or think my project was worth that I did not schedule an estimator to come out."

"Very well. Blad and his team completed a total transformation of my front and back yard. The project was a complete success and he completed on time and on budget. My neighbors were amazed at the finished result and asked about Blad’s services. I subsequently hired Blad and his team for periodic maintenance and have been very pleased with his responsiveness."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.
