The food was variable, some food was excellent, and some food
was not very good at all. The scallops were chewy and fishy; I took one bite and had to throw them out. I had paid for an 'appetizer bar' to be set up for the main meal. They never set it up. They randomly placed the food around so
many guests did not have all options. It seemed as though some of the options did not have enough for all quests to have. This may be why the ?appetizer bar? was never set up. The desserts were supposed to be set up as a bar as well with multiple selections available. This never happened. Again, many people did not get desserts that were supposed to be
available. Throughout the night there was no communication about the change in plans to not set up the appetizer bar and dessert bar. They also never confirmed the final count for the party. Previous caterers I have worked with gave me a courtesy call on the final count before they ordered food, this never happened. They had quoted for higher than the expected amount, so I ended up having to pay for more people than I ever expected to have and I still feel there wasn?t enough food. I emailed the owners after the event to let them know about how I felt. Their response was to defend why they changed the way the event was conducted and let me know that I would have to pay for the final count and that, oh by the way, my payment was 9 days past due. There was no effort on their part to reconcile the situation.

We called Dan after a home inspector we used in the past was not available. I am SO glad we did! I thought we've had good inspectors in the past, but Dan really is outstanding in comparison. He was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and set up a time on a holiday weekend to do the...

"M&L Landscaping Construction is absolutely incredible! You will not regret hiring Leo and his team for your project. I first hired Leo for one job, and after seeing the quality, precision, and care in his work, I immediately brought him back for a second. The first project included pavers, a retaining wall with built-in seating, a garden bed, patio/paver installation, fence installation, and a composite deck with stairs. The second project was for my rental property and involved an insurance claim to repair the facade of the house. That work included installing stone veneers on the front of my home, constructing a new deck with a roof, building a stone wall with fencing, and completing a blacktop driveway. What truly sets M&L apart is not just the beauty and craftsmanship of their work, but the professionalism, organization, and integrity behind it. Leo’s team is respectful of your property, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They take pride in what they do and it shows in every detail—from layout precision to cleanup after completion. Equally impressive is how Leo manages the business side of things. He’s communicative, transparent, and extremely reliable—qualities that are rare to find in the contracting world. He provides clear timelines, fair pricing, and proactive updates, so you always know where things stand. Having worked with many contractors over the years, I can confidently say that M&L Landscaping Construction is top-notch from start to finish. I was so impressed that I even referred my parents for their driveway paver installation—and, just as expected, it came out beautiful. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and professional landscaping and construction team, hire M&L Landscaping Construction. You’ll be glad you did!"

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
String LED lights are the best lights to use on a palm tree, as they’re long-lasting, energy-efficient, and won’t go out if a single bulb stops working.
No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it’s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.
Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job.
Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create ice dams, which can damage rooftops. But if you’re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you’ve placed on your roof.
You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it’s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable.
