Jofmar Landscape Hardscape & Lawn Maintenance is family owned and operated right here in Durham, NC. Since our company opened its doors in 2007, we’ve treated every customer like they were a part of our family. Other companies may offer similar services, but our services are the best, and come with a personal touch.

"I'll start by saying that Jofmar (Jose and team) delivered well beyond my expectations. I reached out to Jofmar with a few large hardscape projects after long effort to try and find someone that was professional, on time and and cared to do the work. Overall my experience was very pleasant. Victoria graciously helped me with estimates, explained the process well to understand what is involved for each project and then Jose and his team delivered on the product. The first of two projects just finished up -I had stacked stone garden walls built around all my mulched beds. The attention to detail was a delight to see and I can't wait to finally refresh my garden beds. I want to call out that Jose and team really love the work that they do and it shows. They work hard and are easy to talk to throughout projects. They are agile and will work with you if there is a change in scope. I still have a second project waiting on materials and can't wait to see how well they do there as well. I'll be using Jofmar for any work I need in the future and if I could put them on retainer, I would. Attached are some shots of the work they did for my garden walls."

Steve and Wyatt have been punctual, friendly, kind, efficient, and encouraging. Scott is patient with my ignorance; Pleasant Green provides excellent service plus an education! Charlene is a cheerful and efficient on-line presence. I believe my grass is becoming happier too. Thanks to Everyone at Pleasant Green."

"Owner isn’t going to complete project. Supposed to be complete mid July. Now mid September. Quality of work that is complete is excellent. Problem is nothing is 100% complete and now fence is not being considered. Owner has left equipment and tools around the job site and property obstructing property owners view and maintenance of the property"

Stone Image Works is dedicated to providing top quality materials and installation for our customer’s projects. We are proud of our reputation and have grown to become a premier designer and installer of natural stone, brick pavers, and retaining wall systems for the residential and commercial market. Our staff has been trained to pay attention to all details, which reflects on the craftsmanship of every project completed. We take great pride in our work... AND IT SHOWS! We feel this attitude is one of the most important contributors to our success and to the satisfaction of the customers we serve. We are also proud of the fact that our continued success has not diminished our commitment to individual details, and customer satisfaction. We believe that all installations should be permanent and relatively maintenance free. We are family-owned and operated with over 15 years combined experience. We proudly service central North Carolina. At Stone Image Works we use our own crews for all installations. Therefore, we warrant all workmanship of the interlocking paving stone installation as long as the original purchaser lives in the home. Our projects receive direct supervision from the Owner/Operator and with the combination of top quality materials and direct supervision we are confident our customers are 100% satisfied. We will be happy to provide you a list of references so you may personally see our true professionalism and quality. *Advantages of Paving Stone Driveways, Patios, Pool Decks and Walkways Paving stones define beauty, elegance and durability for driveways, pool decks, walkways and patios. A properly installed paving stone driveway won't crack, sag, shift or separate. It will look fantastic for generations, and if it ever becomes stained or marred by paint or oil it can be repaired quickly, easily and invisibly. Individual stones can be replaced with matching ones so that the surface looks exactly as it did before the accident occurred. This is impossible with any other type of pavement. The huge range of colors and patterns available makes customized design possible for any type of courtyard, patio, deck, or driveway. We will work with you to create the perfect match for your project, whether it is patio pavers for your deck or a complete landscape design to complement your new paving stone driveway and walkways.

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.

Weeds can grow through rubber mulch, but it depends on if you removed all the weeds in your garden beforehand. Weeds already in the soil can grow even when using rubber mulch. However, that doesn’t mean that your garden will be littered with rubber and weeds, but it does mean that the occasional weed might still pop up. Another way you can increase your weed suppression is by using landscape fabric as a second layer. 

If you like the look of mulch in your plant beds, be aware that it can attract a variety of pests, including termites. To avoid wood-to-foundation contact, leave a one-foot barrier around your house and fill it in with rocks or gravel, starting mulch past that barrier and working it outward into your plant beds. 

The depth of your decomposed granite depends on its intended use, but around 3 to 4 inches is the most common depth. Driveways that need to support a lot of weight should be at a depth of no less than 6 inches. Walkways that won’t see a lot of weight but lots of foot traffic should be built at a depth of 3 to 4 inches, and patios should also be between 3 and 4 inches deep.

As a base, you should use a fertilizer with a 5-5-5 NPK ratio (5% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus, and 5% potassium). You may need a different ratio depending on what your soil is lacking, but a soil test can help determine the perfect amount.
