"Great service, price and finished product. BlueStar is very easy to work with and finished the project on time. I plan on using them again when it's time for another landscaping project!"
"Great work!! Aside from being an expert with lawn, irrigation, and re-grading, Eddie Mullins is patient and courteous. When we first showed him initial plans for the yard, he was honest about flaws in the design. We took his advice and re-designed the plan. We also followed his plan to properly deaden the previous yard. Eddie took the initiative to regrade the yard for low maintenance and sensible irrigation, while suggesting other details that would eliminate future problems. The fabulous work that Eddie and his crew performed became its own advertisement as onlookers were requesting his business card. We are very grateful for his excellent service and fortunate to obtain his business!"
"Our experience with Capital City Landscape Development was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. We needed a major redo on our small backyard that that borders a preserve. Mark helped us with a designer to clarify our vision. He was patient as we carefully made decisions on our materials. We wanted to include bird feeder stations, and Mark hooked us up with a metal fabricator to build exactly what we imagined. He installed a high pressure misting system for relief from the summer heat. His work was artistic, his charges were reasonable, and his billings were clearly itemized."
"Professional staff, knew their job well, hard workers, no messing around, showed up, go right to work, highly recommend to anybody who needs a new asphalt driveway"
"I couldn't be happier with the concrete work that was done in my backyard. From start to finish, the team was quick, professional, and incredibly efficient. They showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the project faster than I expected without sacrificing quality. What impressed me most was how they went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. They paid attention to the details, kept the work area clean, and made sure I was completely satisfied with the final result. The finished concrete looks fantastic and has completely transformed my backyard. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality concrete work. Excellent service, great workmanship, and a team that truly cares about their customers!"
Yes, but it's best to kill off the grass with solarization and remove the dead plant matter before laying down the pavers. This helps limit the chance of your pavers shifting as the dead plant matter decomposes.
A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.
Like brick, paver, and cobblestone driveways, resin driveways can have intricate patterns using different colors. Aggregates can be laid to create curves, shapes, letters, or numbers. When using custom colors or patterns, homeowners can expect to add an extra $2 to $6 per square foot to achieve their desired look.
Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
The ideal distance between stepping stones depends on your design preference. A general rule is to place them about 24 inches apart from center to center to match an average person's stride. Another common approach is to leave about 6 inches of space between the edges of each stone; this can be adjusted to fit the path's total length without cutting pavers. If you plan to plant between the stones, leave at least 6 to 8 inches of space to give the plants room to grow.
