"Phenomenal business. Jessica and her team from Better Yards and Gardens have completed three major patio and landscaping projects for us over the past two years. Beautiful quality work, superb communication, fair pricing and flexible scheduling. We are very pleased with our new outdoor spaces and highly recommend the company."
"The Goodfellows team was so pleasant to work with. They were very considerate of the neighboring property owner and went above and beyond my expectations. They finished the job in two days and in addition to a beautiful retaining wall and patio, they left the lawn in better condition they what they found it. I wasn't expecting that. "
"Debbie had good suggestions about our paver patio. Everything was on schedule. Alex and his crew did great work and overcame a hidden obstacle at our site. The patio craftsmanship was excellent!"
"I had major landscaping done recently.They did the deck, the whole repair ramp of the front and back yards. The trees were taken out to have them plant, new trees were planted.The patio was made the deck, was made the patio, was covered underneath.So it was a big project. They are not a cheap company.They are not fly by night, they're very good.They are expensive. I don't think people would hire them immediately because you know, they are one of the top landscaping in the cities.But I did a good choice.They did a good job, and that's an excellent crew. This is the first time I was satisfied by someone who did a good landscaping job. You get what you pay for.This is a big, big business."
"The project went smoothly and efficiently. Greg was great with returning phone calls and being adaptable to the work schedule of me and my spouse. It was a daunting project requiring excavation of an old concrete patio, repairing some foundation on the house, laying a newer bigger paved patio with concrete slab on the side, and also a paved stairway with stone steps going up a hill. Everything turned out even better than expected. He is also true to his word about repairs and the warranty of the patio. A few months after the project ended, we had to have a small portion of the patio pulled up for some electric line work. He had his crew come out to level, lay, and tamp the patio stones back into place free of charge. Would highly recommend."
"Everything went well with Trinity from the moment I contacted them for a quote through the end of the job. Travis was great to work with. He took the time to explain the process and kept me informed of the steps as he went. Our driveway and stamped concrete patio area look great! If you want a contractor who will do what they say they are going to do, do quality work at a fair price and are just overall positive to work with, Travis is your guy. I would (and have) recommended Trinity!"
"The project turned out BEAUTIFUL! My backyard patio was transformed into something better than I had anticipated. Chris was easy to work with and provided excellent communication throughout the project. He definitely went above and beyond with the scope of work. He was proactive in following up on a couple of minor details - which says a lot about the level of customer service and the pride he takes in his work. His crew kept everything as clean and tidy as possible throughout the process - which scores additional points in my book. I would definitely recommend Artistic Landscapes. "
"We hired Tony and his crew from Form and Pour Cement Works and couldn't be happier. When my wife and I moved into our home, we quickly discovered some major drainage issues that needed to be addressed right away. Tony and his team regraded and pour a new cement patio, front sidewalk and steps to our entryway, and replaced the first 12 feet of slab in front of our garage. We were impressed with Tony's hardwork-ethic, skill, and craftsman ship, as well as the speed of their work. We now have all of our water grading issues accounted for and will be able to enjoy our new concrete work for years to come. We highly recommend Form and Pour Concrete Works! You won't be disappointed."
"5 stars for Clark Companies!! Kyle and crew created a beautiful patio for me. Not only was the process easy and professional, the finished patio is perfect. Thank you, Kyle."
The least expensive way to enclose a porch is with screens. These protect the room by preventing insects from entering and, if you live in a warm climate, provide excellent airflow during hot summer months. Screens cost far less than any other alternative, so if you are against getting permits, spending too much, or enclosing your porch in walls or glass, screens are the best choice.
How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
The life span of your solarium will depend on the materials used and how much wear and tear the room experiences from the inside and from the outside due to weather. On average, you can expect your solarium to last anywhere from 10 years to 50 or more. In rare cases, such as with old estates, solariums can last over 100 years.
When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you’re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.
A screened-in porch can add value to your home, but it won’t count toward the total square footage at an appraisal or when it comes time to sell. A screened-in porch is not fully enclosed, usable year-round, insulated, or heated or cooled, so it doesn’t meet the requirements of livable square footage in most locations.
