"They never returned our call. Our neighbors have had work done & heard that Outdoor Artisans no longer work in SC. Not sure if this is true but we were disappointed because we did like the work done at 2 of our neighbor's houses. Rated a B rating because they appear to do good work ?"
"They are every flexible! Richard and Sam did our pool landscaping and we changed our minds a few time but they were very flexible and we ended up with a great landscaping around the pool."
"Very professional and friendly. Completed what I needed done in a timely manner. Price of services is extremely competitive. B&S will be the company to cut any trees that I need removed. I have had other trees cut down by other companies before. I couldn't even remember those companies names. I will remember, recommend and continue to use B&S."
"The Moore brothers were great. They satisfied my Home Owners' Association with a detailed proposal within an hour of inspecting the job. They itemized and described the work, which included cleaning off the mold, replacing insulation, repairing joists, encapsulating the crawlspace, and creating a French Drain on the exterior of my unit to redirect the rain. They also set up my dehumidifier in the space with a wireless meter I can read from inside . Their price was in line and they did everything they promised in good order, good humor, and respect. Three other companies bid and were not even close... in promptness, plan, OR price. I highly recommend Jon and Danny Moore."
"The brothers are very knowledgeable and professional.They came out quickly and designed a plan and cost of project.They started the project quickly.I am very pleased with the way it came out .I would highly recommend them to anyone.If I need other yard work done they will be the 1st I will call"
Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.
Placing your water feature in direct sun can speed up evaporation, leading to pump damage and algae growth. Shade or partial shade serves as the ideal location for most water features—just watch out for tree and plant debris that may fall in and clog the pump.
Lifespans vary by material and manufacturer, but pond liners last anywhere from 10 to 75 years. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pond liners have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Other types of pond liners, including those made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), can last 40 to 50 years.
One of the most important parts of building a pond is digging the right depth. Your pond needs to be at least one to two feet deep. The specifics of the depth will depend on factors such as the placement of the pond and whether you plan on having fish. If you have fish in your pond, it will need to be at least two feet deep.
Seeps and springs form when groundwater reaches the earth’s surface. The main differences between them are the amount of water and the flow rate. Seeps are smaller than springs and consist of water that’s stagnant or flows slowly. Springs contain more water and flow more quickly.
