What environmental factors should be considered in lakefront landscaping?

• <div><p>Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.</p></div>

Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>

What is the difference between grading and leveling a yard?

• <div><p>Grading refers to the sloping of your yard away from your house’s foundation. It’s a landscaping term you probably know well if you’ve ever had to push your lawn mower up a steep slope.</p><p>Leveling is the solution to grading issues since it involves making your yard flat and smooth (and easy to push a lawn mower through).</p></div>

Do landscapers put in French drains?

• <div><p>Yes, most landscapers should be able to install French drains. However, it’s best to hire a French drain installation company that specializes in this type of project. You may want to get multiple quotes from landscaping companies to get an idea of the average installation cost before hiring a professional to install a French drain system for you.</p></div>

How do pros determine the right slope for my landscape?

• <div><p>Pros will assess your soil type, property geography, and rain patterns for optimal slope.</p></div>

"TERRIBLE PEIPLE TO WORK WITH. IM OUT $50. It took about 2 weeks to get Brian out to give me an estimate. At that time, he told me he charges $50 for an estimate which goes towards the work if he’s hired. He’d not mentioned that before and it was a red flag but I gave him the $50 and he said he’d be back on 7/19. I texted him the day before to confirm and he didn’t respond. So I texted again that evening and the text wouldn’t deliver. I called and a msg said I was calling from a restricted number, he blocked me! I called Cameron the next morning and explained what happened and he said he was trying to reach Brian as well. He told me he’d come out and do the work and would call me back with some options of when he could come. Four days have passed and no call back. I’ve tried calling again and his mailbox is full. TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BIZ!!"

Depending on the project requested, we will travel except when the trip expense outweighs the project and the client is paying more in fuel costs vs. the actual project itself. If this is the case, we can recommend trusted contractors in the trade we have relationships with. We are upfront and honest and don’t want to waste anyone’s time or money. If your property is beyond our 30 mile service radius then trip fees may be included in the projected cost due to the fluctuation of gas prices. We provide estimates free of charge to customers within our service area. There are times in which a trip charge would be applied due to the fluctuation in fuel rates or requested return trips. All customers are informed when this applies during the initial appointmen.
