"We were having flooding issues with our yard the past several years after heavy rain storms. We hired a civil engineer, who came out and took the existing topography, then created a grading / drainage plan. I'm a commercial architect, so I designed some new concrete work and paver walkways at the same time. In addition to the yard work, we also planned for new cedar privacy fencing around the yard and a deck in the rear yard to be built at the same time. We got 3 estimates from local landscaping firms to complete all the work except the fencing and deck. (We chose a wood fence company to do that work). I found Lawncare Plus Design on Angie's List. They weren't the lowest number, but they were very close to the lower number and had included plant material that wasn't included by the other company. It also turned out that the owner lived close to us, and had a child in the same school as our kids. We had a comfort level with her we didn't get with the other two firms. Our Village required a permit for the grading and concrete work, which took a while to get. Lawncare Plus Design's owner, Maria, assisted with the permit effort. While we were waiting for the permit, we learned our neighbor, who was also having flooding issues, was very concerned our work would somehow negatively effect his yard or house, which has had seepage problems. He had talked to the Village, and was trying to "piggy-back" his work on top of ours without hiring an engineer or getting permits. He eventually wound up hiring Lawncare for landscaping as well, which I don't want to discuss here, but for the fact that he was very difficult to deal with on a daily basis, and didn't limit his concerns to his own work. (In other words, I learned he was often over in our yard bothing Maria's crew, as well as the fence / deck guys we hired.) Maria started by clearing the old turf and removing the old concrete patios. The brick paver walkways were started, as was the concrete work. (She sub-contracted the concrete work, but managed that crew so it was seemless.) It was at this point that we had the one problem with the work that occurred during the project. We had to have the air conditioner moved for the work, then re-installed later. The AC guy came out, disconnected and moved the unit, and clearly stated to myself and Maria that the copper lines coming out of the house should not be bent. The concrete guys wound up bending them later the very same day. As a result, we had to pay an extra $175 for the reconnection of the AC when it was done, but Maria owned up to it, and when some additional sewer lines were needed later in the project, we "horse-traded" and she covered that cost. Following that work, the fence and deck were started. As stated earlier, we hired someone else to do that work, but Maria coordinated her efforts with theirs along the way so everyone got along. As the work proceeded, Maria questioned the grading in the back yard as shown on the engineer's plans, and we did make some changes after meeting with the engineer. I appreciated Maria was concerned enough to bring up the issue, rather than plowing ahead with what was on the drawings without asking if it made sense. The grading issue in the backyard slowed the project down a bit, as we had to have the change approved by the Village, but everything eventually got resolved and Maria finished up by planting the shrubs and tree, followed by mulch at the shrub and tree areas, and then the sod. She helped out with watering the sod at the start, and came back a couple of times to check to see if the sod was rooting and for the first mowing. She also has done leaf removal as the project ran into the fall. Through the whole process, one thing I appreciated a lot was that Maria was communicative about what they were doing, and if and when there were going to be days where she wouldn't be working. The Village inspector was not always responsive for inspections, and I mentioned the pesty neighbor. She dealt with all of it very well. We are currently considering using Maria next year for all our landscaping maintenance now that the project is done."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.
