"Contacting them after seeing their ad in the Angie's List magazine. John was great to work with and he and the team did a great job. Consulted with me throughout the entire process and we're very happy with the result. Leveled and graded our backyard (~4,000 feet) and laid new sod."

"This was the second project that Genadek was hired for.  The reason Genadek was rehired to do work that no other contractor seemed to want to take on was because the company delivers what it says it will.  The first project was an extensive drain tile system with permeable pavers and a french drain, which has provided a beautiful place to entertain as well as much needed management of a high water table.  And when Genadek encountered issues with the high water table, they researched and came up with a plan - a plan that became the solution we had been searching for going on 6 years.
On both projects, Genadek was upfront about changing conditions of the project and gave us the information necessary to make a decision.  At no point was there a feeling that Genadek was doing anything other than respecting us and the financial constraints of the projects.  It is impossible to expect a bid to always be perfect down to the last penny, however Genadek makes a concerted effort to do just that and when they cannot - you will know why.
When Genadek finishes a project, they clean up the worksite and leave it as they found it so there is no delay in your enjoyment.  There is not doubt that this is a company that is choosing to do business the right way - respecting clients - and should be supported for it."

"AMY Construction crushed it! All you want from a contractor - showed up when they said they would, completed the job in the estimated time, fair price - and exceeded our expectations on quality of work and value. Unqualified recommendation!"

"I'll make this short, but could write a novel. From the start he was great to work with, then once work began dates kept getting pushed and pushed. the wrong garage door was installed, I had a garage door opener installed that I didn't ask for (but am glad it's there now), the service door was the wrong swing, the apron had to be redone due to being the wrong size and it didn't have a slope to it. I heard over and over that he was just the messenger to relay the information to his sub-contractors. the project was completed one month after the 'promised' completion date. Once the project was comlete I have to say that I'm happy with the finished product, just the process was VERY frustrating. That's the short version...take it for what you will."

"Jim, Owner of the company was great about communication. He was organized, transparent and detailed. Explained what needed to happen and why. Explained why addtl services I asked about were unneeded and, in fact, a bad idea. I appreciate his honesty. He has over 30 years of experience. He doesn't sub-contract out either, so if you hire him, you get HIM and his 30+ years of experience! Nice guy too. Recommend."

"We are happy to day we have finally found a landscape contractor we can rely on and does exceptional work. We had several phases of work performed by them. Tony Cordes and Lasting Impressions Landscape restored our faith in landscape contractors. The water feature design and end result are absolutely gorgeous. The retaining walls and walk ways not only added function and beauty but enhanced the value of our property. In addition to all the hardscape services Tony and his company also provided erosion and water control. Installing several lines of drain tile and reshaping our side yard as to cure water intrusion issues. 
We had specific desires and needs - Tony Cordes not only listened to these but took them to another level. His crew was professional and respectful of our property. We had several estimates done - we found them to be in the average range - however the attention,  execution & creativity made this the best value by a mile. While constructing our pond (approx 15x22 and 5 feet deep) Tony treated every stone and curve as it were a painting. The end result exceeded our already high expectations. We were having an addition done soon after we started some of our landscaping - Tony worked seamlessly with our general contractor and was another reason we had him back for the final phase of yard work after our addition was complete.
If mother nature ever stops this winter - we will take some photos and post - they are gorgeous.  It is always fun to see neighbors and friends as they see the yard for the first time - eyes pop wide open - just another validation to us that we made the right choice for a landscape contractor.
So in summary if you are you tired of inconsistent and undependable landscape contractors and are looking for a contractor that has vision, creativity, listens to his clients needs, someone that can execute and deliver and go that extra mile for their client you will find it at Lasting Impressions. If you are searching for a landscape contractor that delivers highest level quality of service at (what I feel are) average prices -  we confidently recommend Lasting Impressions and Tony Cordes.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.
