"The courtyard between the driveway and the front yard needed resurfacing. interlocking pavers were chosen to improve walking access and create a visual pattern. They measured precisely to maintain even spacing, compacted, and installed the edging. Approximately 1,250 square feet were covered, including small planting borders. The layout allows multiple circulation paths while keeping the design simple. its practical for daily use and provide a defined area for outdoor furniture."

"Excellent craftsmanship. Paramount Pavers more than exceeded my expectations. They were accommodating, professional, courteous, respectful and timely. I highly recommend Paramount Pavers for all aspects of landscaping and concrete work. They demolished a 55’ retaining wall, constructed a new wall and a new driveway. The work is impeccable. Great Company. Thank you Isaac, Rudy and Edwin for caring for my project, like it was your own."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.
