Geico Builders specializes in meeting your expectations before, during, and after the project is complete. Our most upstanding quality is our accountability--you can expect us to own the work we complete for your home. Of course, we know accountability means nothing without proof, which is why we are happy to offer a 2-year workmanship warranty to all of our clients. This is a rare quality for this industry, but we wanted to prove to you that we stand by our craftsmanship through our home remodeling construction services. Every Crew at Geico Builders has been professionally trained and will treat your home with integrity and respect.

"We recently had our kitchen and bathroom completely renovated by Geico Builders, and the transformation is beyond what we imagined! After with several other contractors, we decided to go with them and it was the best decision we mage. Mila, our project manager, was fantastic from day one. As first-time remodelers, we had a lot of questions, but Mila guide through every stage with patience and professionalism. The communication was consistent, and any concern we had was handled right away. The team even helped us refine our design ideas and brought them to life with a stunning 3D preview before construction began. Everyone we worked was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. The finished kitchen and bathroom are both beautiful and functional exactly what we were hoping for. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Geico Builders to anyone planning a home remodel!"

Our pledge is to create successful relationships with our customers, employees and community by building trust, treating every project with the utmost integrity and exceeding expectations. We look forward to working with you!

"Rick is the owner and is one of the main reasons I prefer owner-run companies to do my projects. They are flexible and responsive, pivot quickly, work w/ you to make sure you get what you want. I was helping my daughter who bought her first house and the backyard was so run down and unkept. I ran a bid process w/ 3 vendors - a big company turf supplier/installer, a small company highly recommended by Yelp and Unique Pavers. Unique was clearly the best vendor when considering quality, price and responsiveness. And the real test was when we had a change of heart of what we wanted after it was installed. Unique worked w/ us, provided an alternative solution quickly and did the revised work and still was w/in the committed delivery date. The quality of the work was excellent. And I am really a tough and demanding customer so it speak volumes that I left completely satisfied and felt I got great value from Unique. The best part is when my daughter saw the finished work, she was so excited about the transformation of her backyard. Make me feel great as a dad!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No, carpetgrass and St. Augustine grass are two different species. However this is a very common misconception and you may even find St. Augustine grass is mislabeled as carpetgrass. Carpetgrass does not have as much shade tolerance as St. Augustine grass, and has narrower blades with an alternating pattern (while St. Augustine grass has an opposite pattern). St. Augustine grass doesn’t have the weedy, high seedheads that carpetgrass produces.

Yes, watering after you level a lawn is essential. Water helps settle the soil, eliminating air pockets and encouraging the newly-applied topdressing to bond with the existing surface. Adequate watering aids in achieving a smoother and more even lawn surface. However, be sure to avoid overwatering, which could lead to soil erosion or compaction issues.

Both zoysia grass and bermuda grass are somewhat similar to St. Augustine because they’re all warm-season grasses. Beyond that, most grass types have unique properties that set them apart. Zoysia grass costs twice the price of St. Augustine grass on average and it has thinner blades and a deeper green appearance. Bermuda grass, compared to St. Augustine, has much thinner blades, is softer to the touch, and has a higher tolerance for colder weather.

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

  • Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn. 

  • Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment. 

  • Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

No, you shouldn’t water your lawn every day in hot weather—or ever. For most lawns, one to three water sessions per week is sufficient. When it’s above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, watering your grass can be wasteful since the heat from the sun often evaporates the water before your lawn fully absorbs it. That’s why the best time to water grass in summer is at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.).
