"Marv came, same day as I called and checked out what may be a leak in my garden fountain. He gave me a suggestion to make sure that the problem with the fountain is actually a leak within the fountain or something else. He did not charge me for his time. Would definitely hire in the future."
"Ken was fabulous to work with. Reasonably priced and excellent work. Great communication every step of the way. Can’t say enough good things about the process. Most importantly the bathroom looks amazing. So glad we made the right choice in a contractor. Highly recommend!"
"We had a wonderful experience with Isaiah and his team. We remodeled our small backyard to remove a bunch of concrete and put down turf grass, planters, irrigation, lighting, and a patio. Isaiah did the design for us and we love it. He even picked out all the plants for us. They started within a few weeks of the initial meeting and knocked it out in a week with a pretty large team. We cannot recommend this company enough!"

I am immensely grateful for their remarkable work and their patience in dealing with a first-time construction customer like myself. Thank you so much for the outstanding job!"
"We contacted Mr. Parks via Angie's List. His answer to our request was prompt and professional. We set a date for the work and Mr. Parks followed up with a phone call. He again called to verify and arrived right on time. Their work was done quickly and professionally and our property was left clean and neat. We highly recommend Thomas Parks Contracting. "
"Rich Valdez came out to see our house, onto which we wanted to put a 400 sq ft addition. He took a copy of the plans, asked a few questions, looked around the house...and then we never heard from them again. If our job was too small, or they were too busy, that's fine, but some kind of follow-up would have been professional."
"Brian and his team turned the piles of dirt in our backyard into our favorite place to spend time. They were able to take our ideas and make it a reality. Brian discussed the various plants we should use and why they would work best with the area that we have."
The house was built in 1937, as you can imagine the bathroom needed a complete demolition, from the floor to the ceiling and walls. First the old vanity and bathtub were removed so that the workers could remove the old tile on the floor and the tile in the old shower which was completely removed. The floor was floated with concrete (the house is on a raised foundation), so that new tile could be installed. The walls were removed down to the studs, two old windows were replaced by one modern window above the new shower. Because Neil came up with a new design for the bathroom, a new wall was built for a very large shower in the location were the old vanity was (we did not want a bathtub). New cabinets were installed for lots of storage and a vanity with marble top, oval mirrored medicine cabinet with two wall sconces on either side. We had new recessed lights in the ceiling with a fan that goes on when the lights are turned on, not on a separate switch. Neil and the workers were very clean, leaving no mess in the living room which they had to walk through while working in the bathroom. Because of the old windows being replaced, the outside of the house was re-stuccoed and painted to match the house. No mess anywhere!.
In the kitchen, we decided not to have all the cabinets replaced as my father had made and installed ash cabinets around 1960; it was a sentimental choice, which Neil understood. Neil had matching cabinets made along a wall that had none. All tile was replaced with granite of our choice and a new stainless steel sink was installed. The linoleum floor was replaced with tile as well as the dinning room. Before the tile could be put down backboard was installed on top of the existing wood floor. All tile was installed in a diagonal pattern looking from the living room, so that the dinning room looks larger and flows into the kitchen.
Whether a natural pool is worth it depends on several factors because they cost more than traditional pools. Many people opt for natural pools because they enjoy swimming in natural bodies of water such as lakes. Also, if you're environmentally conscious, a natural pool is going to be a much more attractive option than a traditional pool.
Moreover, for people with chemical sensitivities, a natural pool is a great solution since the water doesn’t contain chlorine.
Water features enhance aesthetics, improve outdoor ambiance, and provide a soothing, tranquil atmosphere.
Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don’t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.
How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons.
You have several options for your pond by getting your yard ready for the winter. You can winterize your koi pond by ensuring it’s at least 5 feet deep so it doesn’t freeze completely, installing a pond heater or aerator and having it run at all times, and installing a deicer if temperatures are dangerously low for an extended period. You can also choose to shut down your pond for the winter by removing all the wildlife in it and bringing it indoors, cleaning out the filter and pump, and then covering the pond with a tarp.
