He was excited about the project itself: to treat stormwater adding to the pollution of our watershed while at the same time improving the aesthetics of a family's home in a public housing community and extending environmental justice a bit. Mike reviewed the plans for the planter, provided by the City of Philadelphia as part of their urban stormwater treatment project. He made suggestions for improvement, shopped for needed materials and brought them with him to the site. He constructed the planter and engaged the family in the project. I have pictures (so does Mike). I would upload them, but this site doesn't accommodate images, unfortunately -- a picture is worth a thousand words, but just the words will have to do here I suppose. Mike is not only a skilled craftsman but also a GOOD man. I can't recommend him and Designing Renovations enough! Note: The unit in question is a garden apartment. SDAT does not list the year it was built. 1950, provided below, is my best guess.

When we wanted to take a vacation, we knew we couldn't take the chance of boarding these cats - they would have felt they'd been abandoned one more time. We contacted Ruth and immediately knew we were talking to a person who would not only lovingly care for our cats, but also be alert to any illnesses that might develop. Both cats immediately took to her when she came for a pre-vacation visit. Cats, in our experience, are a very good judge of people. Ruth not only took fantastic care of our 2 cats, she also brought in newspapers and mail, varied lights left on, and watered our outside plants. And, as a particularly delightful activity, she actually sat on the sofa and read to them from the newspaper. One cat apparently nestled right next to her as she read. What a wonderfully inventive way to extend the daily visit and talk to the cats! Both cats looked wonderful and were extremely relaxed and content when we arrived home. If you want a carefree vacation, knowing your pets will be totally content when you return, you can't do better than Pet Sitting by Ruth.

I look forward to become a regular customer in March. I plan to have them do landscaping and planting work this spring. I was excited that they offered the opportunity to landscape and plant sections at a time. I have a 1/3 of an acre. Doing a section at a time is a financial blessing. They will work out a budget and help with selections of bushes, etc. as well as landscaping ideas.

We hired Laura to design and install a garden of shrubs and perennials along the entire front of our house. And the whole process, from start to finish, was an absolute joy! First, we had a detailed in-person consultation, where she asked about our preferences for the garden (colors, size,...

Great selection but they so not guarantee their plants. Bought plants 2 weeks ago. The more than dozen plants that I bought at the same time are doing well so it is the plant. Will not replace it.

In October, at the Timonium Home Crafts Show, I bought a citrus tree from Leon's and was ASSURED it could be used as a house plant. I even called back a few days later to double check because the label only discusses planting it outside. Again, I was assured it was fine as a house plant....

The person we initially spoke with had no interest in following up. We contacted the office directly and asked for another employee. Unfortunately, they sent the same individual. The cost for the small (and I stress small) yard was expensive. In particular, I requested that the flowering...

"My experience with TLC Inc. was a very positive one! I had a well/cistern that was leaking onto my lawn. Apparently the drainage system had deteriorated over the years. Mr. Drew Hall came out to look and discuss the project. When we later met at TLC to discuss solutions, Mr. Hall clearly explained what has to be done and showed me photos of a similar project. Mr. Hall also worked efficiently with my town’s public works and the county agency to create a system that was satisfactory for all. As the work progressed, Mr. Hall diligently kept me updated. Now, my lawn is dried out, instead of being a swamp. I recommend TLC Inc. for any water-related issues! Thank you, Mr. Hall!"

"This company, 12 Figure Consultations, came to my house and gave me a quote. Simple job, rake up all the sticks, take up the old mulch and put down the new. I gave them deposit. When they returned for the job, they did half of it, and then said they wanted more money than the original proposal to finish it - 2 times more. When I disagreed to pay 2 times more money, they started arguing with me, telling me I am liar, and behaving aggressively that I feared for my safety. Then his partner was following me around my yard and telling me he liked me and asking if I liked him! I was very afraid for my safety and I told them to just go away, because not only I was afraid for my safety, but their shoddy business practices so disrespectful, give one price, do half the job, then demand more money than the original to finish. I told them take their trailors and just to leave but they wouldn't. Finally I started raking it myself, and then I paid them the more money just to get them to go away. When they drove away, the workers skidded his tires in the grass in my yard and went speeding down the street. Then he drove around the street 3 times. I still fear for my safety and even afraid to write this review."

Plant Watering questions, answered by experts
Installing a prefabricated water fountain can take as little as a few hours, and custom fountains can take as long as several days to install. The installation timeline will depend on how much preparation the installation site needs, the complexity of the fountain, and whether you choose to install it yourself or hire a pro.
Most installations take 3-7 days, depending on design complexity and plumbing requirements.
Your hot tub manufacturer may have a recommended frequency for how often you should change the water, but most experts advise draining, cleaning, and refilling every three to four months, or seasonally. If you use it frequently, if a lot of people use the hot tub, if your dog goes in the hot tub, or if you do not clean and maintain it between water changes, you should consider changing the water even more often. You should refill it if the water becomes foamy, filmy, discolored, or smells different than usual.
Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.
Common features in lakefront landscaping projects include native and water-tolerant plants, stone paths, docks or piers, seating areas, and erosion control solutions to create a harmonious integration with the waterfront setting.
