Can I DIY hardscaping in my yard?

• <div><p>It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-patio.htm">installing patios</a>, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.</p></div>

Q: Can you just lay stepping stones on top of grass?

• <div><p>Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.</p></div>

Q: What’s the optimal temperature for asphalt to dry and cure the fastest?

• <div><p>Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a roadway and a street?

• <div><p>Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road&mdash;a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.</p></div>

Q: What do you put between pavers and concrete?

• <div><p>You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.</p></div>

They are punctual, efficient, well priced and the customer rep that I talked to when I inquired and later requested their services was not only polite but expressed concern when I called the day after severe weather in our area. She remembered me and where I live. I'd recommend them to anyone!

They were very quick to get us scheduled, and were so very kind to my timid rescue dog. I picked them because other reviewers had said the same, and they were right. Lola looked lovely and happy when I picked her up! They even told me about, what turned out to be a tumor, on her mammory...
