"If we could give Dimmett's Home Repair Service a higher grade than A, we would! Absolutely outstanding work and great customer service. They are very ethical, honest, professional and trustworthy. We had our bathroom, kitchen and our basement remodeled (and we added numerous other projects to the list when they were here). They worked with us on all of our requests. We live in an older house that had extensive water damaged over the years (much worst then anyone anticipated). Both Lee and Jason provided recommendations and solutions to everything that was needed. They finished the job nearly two weeks ahead of schedule and they came in under budget (which is an accomplishment in itself). We cannot Thank them enough for their honesty, their work ethic and the quality of work. We will using them again in remodeling the rest of our home. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Dimmett's Home Repair Service. Angela and Scott"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
