"Mr. Dimmett (Lee) came to my house promptly and gave me an estimate. My roof was over 20 years old, plus it had the original layer underneath. I also had a gable over my garage door which had perpetually peeling paint, and I wanted it covered in vinyl siding. Lee explained in detail what he would do, and what materials he would use. He said it would be about a month and a half before he could do the job. He explained that he is very busy at this time of year, and that he uses a small crew. He left me sample books for both the shingles and the siding. His price seemed reasonable, and was substantially less than one of the "big" companies which also gave me an estimate.
Right at 45 days or so, Lee and his crew started the job. It took several days. Lee addressed several details, such as painting a rusted kitchen vent, and installing a boot on the electrical service entrance which was only caulked previously. He told me my decking was in great condition, but he installed extra protection in critical areas anyway. He removed the stair-step flashing around the chimney and replaced it with a straight piece, which looks much better. He removed a power attic vent and installed ridge venting. He installed 35-year GAF Timberline HD shingles. The weather turned very cold and we got some snow as he was finishing the roof. He came back at the first opportunity and covered the gable with siding. He suggested a fake gable vent to dress up the gable, and threw that in for free.
My house looks a lot better than it did before. The dimensional shingles look great, as does the siding and vent on the gable. Plus I'll never have to paint the gable again. Lee and his crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. They did a very thorough cleanup. I mowed the yard afterward and did not find any nails or debris.
I am a bit concerned that some of the shingles are not lying flat. Lee assures me they will seal down when the weather gets warmer. Also, there is a smudge/scrape on the new white siding. Lee said he would come by and take care of that, but he hasn't yet.
I highly recommend Mr. Dimmett. He seems to be an honest, down-to-earth individual who takes pride in his work and does an outstanding job. I trust him and his crew. I plan to hire him again soon to replace a window.

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.
