Tripp Landscaping has strived to provide top-notch landscaping service to the Springfield area. Its success is reflected in the many satisfied clients the business has seen over the years. Like most businesses, Tripp Landscaping had humble beginnings. It started as a small operation owner/founder Mark Tripp began at his Springfield home in 1978. He had only a handfull of employees. It wasn't long before the business grew too big for Mark's home, so he set up shop at his first retail location on 6th Street, Springfield. As the company grew and evolved, Mark decided in 1992 to move the business to its current location on Woodside Rd., in Springfield. Tripp Landscaping currently includes a nursery stocked with high-quality trees, shrubs, and perennials, in addition to an office where design creation and presentation take place.

Outdoor Kitchens questions, answered by experts

Older research tells us that adding an outdoor pizza oven is unlikely to increase ROI. But thanks to an uptick in interest in this feature, it’s becoming increasingly likely that installing one will boost your home’s value by a small amount.

The decision to make or buy your outdoor pizza oven depends on your personal preferences, budget, and time. If you pay a professional to build a custom pizza oven, the cost will likely be higher than retail costs. If you purchase materials to create an oven, you can typically build an elaborate one for less money, but there’s a risk that you’ll injure yourself or make a costly building error.

In many cases, you will not need permits to install an outdoor kitchen because it’s not usually considered a permanent structure and doesn’t require a foundation. If you run natural gas lines to a grill, plumbing lines to an outdoor sink, or electrical lines for lighting and power, your contractor will likely need to pull permits.

However, every municipality is different, so you should defer to a professional outdoor kitchen contractor to confirm which portions of your outdoor kitchen project require building permits.

You can call a second kitchen many different names—butler’s pantry, scullery, prep kitchen, working kitchen, dirty kitchen, or even just second kitchen. In modern times, however, second kitchens are almost always called prep kitchens or small kitchens. However, the purpose of a second kitchen remains the same—prepare food and clean items “behind closed doors.”

Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.

Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.
