"My husband and I decided to completely redo our back garden.  After much research with other companies and viewing many ugly and blah ideas we chose G and L Design.  It was a very intensive project.  Giant ficus trees with very invasive roots had to come out, along with the roots.  Much concrete had to be removed.  Most of the old soil had to be replaced.  Most of the plants needed to be removed except for a few hydrangeas and roses.  We also had drainage problems along the side of the house which were affecting the integrity of the foundation.
G and L Design helped us develop a beautiful and comprehensive design and also addressed serious problems.  After doing an excellent and clean job of demo the fun part started.  Dee, the owner, took us to a stone yard where we found exactly what we wanted:  beautiful golden figured sandstone.  We wanted much hardscape for entertaining yet for the space to be lush at the same time.  Dee's excellent landscape architect Rick took us to nurseries and helped us decide on beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers and herbs.
Dee has permanent employees; he uses no day labor.  His workers are skilled.  Each large slab of stone had to be cut by hand.  It was put together like a beautiful puzzle.  The stone cutter was an artist.  It was a joy to watch him work.  We have an upper yard and a lower yard.  A beautiful stacked stone curving wall was created along with very pretty large half moon steps separating one area from the other.$
New drip irrigation systems and lighting were installed.  The drainage problems on the north side of the house were addressed.  The trees and plants are terrific.  Wherever your eye lands there is something lovely to see.
As the project progressed we obviously ran into some challenges but Dee always had a solution.  When I wanted to make some changes there was not a problem.
We are so happy with this fabulous addition to our home we are using Dee to redo the front of the house next.  If you're looking for a fair company and talented people look no further than G and L Design."

Architects questions, answered by experts

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.
