"He was doing great and doing extra things. I paid him 3,200.00 for materials and he said he ordered them in July they were supposed to be delivered 08/02/21. He contacted me and said they were on back order, communicated thru 09/13/21. I have not heard from him since. I called Home Depot and they said he never placed an order. I have called and emailed, text, left messages and I have not heard from him since. He still has my screen door that he was supposed to repair along with my money. I think if something has happened to him someone in his family would have notified me."

"We had Jose install about 650 sq.ft. of turf and the workmanship and speed were truly exceptional. The only reason I rated the overall quality 4 stars was that getting in contact with him was difficult at best and I had no idea anything was even happening until he called me and said he would be there in the morning the following day. However, when Jose did show up the work took 2 days and the results were superb!"

Eco Concepts is a locally owned landscape construction company that prides itself on honesty, integrity, and quality craftsmanship since Fall of 2010. Our business has been fortunate enough to retain the same crew of friendly, hardworking, and trustworthy individuals, all of which have been with our team for over a decade. We offer a variety of hardscape and landscape construction services that are customizable to each individual property. Eco Concepts has a stable of tractors and dump trucks, so even though we are a smaller company in comparison to some of the other local outfits, with the help of our heavy equipment, knowledge, and skill sets, we are very capable capable of tackling larger projects. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work as well as our commitment to outstanding results. This approach has allowed us to build many long lasting relationships spanning over a decade. We look forward to building new and lasting relationships for many years to come!

"In addition to laying out stone work for our front and back yards, Jed and his crew also did a lot of landscaping--removing lots of shrubs and other existing plants and putting in all new plants and trees. We had him rework stone work in the front yard and put in a stone patio and walk ways as well as a drip irrigation system in the back yard. It all came out so beautifully. We provided the overall design, Jed make several very good suggestions that we incorporated. We did most of the plant selection and he worked on getting the best prices for the majority of the plants. His crew were all very hard working, polite, professional, neat and respectful of our property. They worked fast and efficiently with a high level of quality to their work. The end result is FANTASTIC. We love how the yards look now and once all the plants are fully grown, it's going to be really lush--with a good number of the plants being drought resistant. I will say that Jed/Eco Concepts is in high demand. He was able to work our relatively small project in between much larger projects, which was fine by us as we really wanted him to do the job based on the reviews we read of his work. We were willing to wait til he had an opening and it was well worth the wait. Jed is a really nice guy, very easy to work with, has good contacts and resources for materials. I highly recommend Eco Concepts for landscaping and stone work."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

No, it isn’t illegal, but many cities and towns have noise ordinances that it could violate. Either way, it can still cause problems if it bothers your neighbors. For motor-powered lawnmowers, the general consensus for common courtesy is to wait until after 8 a.m. to mow your lawn. However, if you have a push mower, you should be safe to mow at any time of day, provided you don’t make excessive noise in other ways.

Yes, it's common for lawns to look bare after dethatching. Dethatching brings soil to the surface to create a "bald" look on your lawn. While you may choose to patch or reseed your lawn if bare patches seem excessive, it's normal for a lawn to look bare after dethatching. With the layer of debris that was blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching your grass now gone, your lawn is likely to grow better than ever.

When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a consistent watering schedule for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.

Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing.  

The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).
