"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

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.
