They were all very knowledgeable & always pleasant & kind. When the job was finished they cleaned everything up thoroughly.

Customers say: Quality work

"Meticulous, highly skilled and a relentless worker, Clinton Allen sized up my situation, saw the solution, and within a short period of time reworked a significant mistake made with the construction of my home. I was 100% satisfied with both the cost and the work. I highly recommend C. Allen Concrete for any project you may have in mind. Had a patio that someone misjudged initially; ended up sloping toward the house and every rain threatened to come in via a door which was then below grade. After many frustrating attempts to get anyone to return a call let alone come to bid in it, Home Advisor steered me to C. Allen Concrete. Clinton called within a day and came out two days later. He quickly sized up the job, knew immediately what needed to be done and as I waited offered a very reasonable quote. I greenlit it and not very long after he was at it mercilessly with the jackhammer, and in a lengthy day had the entire slab blown out. I was astounded, especially considering there was unexpected rebar within. Working around two loadbearing posts with an 80-pound hammer was to me intimidating, but Clinton handled it like a sculptor. Soon the rubble was gone. Clinton cleared and meticulously graded the area, then set the forms. A week later was the pour, it was amazingly well choreographed by Clinton and executed by his topnotch crew. The result was amazing, reshaped slightly to a more aesthetically pleasing design, and now graded properly. When completed, the final product easily exceeded my expectations, the water just flows away from the house and I no longer need fear a downpour. The patio looks great, matches the remaining walkways perfectly and the adjacent areas were smoothed and blended. Rare to find anyone who leaves a jobsite better then when they found it. Not a trace of debris. Easy to work with, experienced and skilled (and personally dedicated to the project), Clinton has a great eye for detail and carried out the job to a high standard indeed."

"Amador and Green Touch Lawn Care did a wonderful job on my front yard. It was filled with patches of weeds that were going to turn into foxtails and prickly spikes. They de-weeded/uprooted everything and then carefully tilled my entire front yard and surrounding areas. It is now ready to plant a new lawn and further landscaping. They don’t know this yet but I’m going to see if they can fit me in for another job (tree removal) because they did such a great one the first time. Highly recommend."

"Workers were very knowledgeable. Completed the job in a timely manner. 12.5 yards of stamped concrete, results are very impressive. This job included a tear out with a jackhammer that went well. My new patio is colored, stamped and beautiful. Clean-up was constant throughout the job. The owner was very easy to deal with."

"Noeh did a fantastic and clean job fixing my small guest bathroom. He installed new flooring, bathroom vanity for much needed storage, a new mirror, fixtures, and added baseboards to flooring. Really appreciate how detail oriented he was for such a small space and that he communicated with me throughout the whole process. My bathroom no longer feels grimy, but neat and welcoming!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Yes, landscaping costs are generally a worthwhile investment that can increase your property value. Landscaping can boost your home's value by up to 30% by improving its curb appeal, which can help it sell faster and for a higher price. Specific projects have a high return on investment (ROI); for example, revamping a front walkway can offer a 100% ROI, while a pristine, well-manicured lawn can deliver an impressive 217% ROI. In addition to the financial returns, you also get to enjoy the improvements, especially with features like an outdoor living area.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
