"We got an estimate and made a verbal agreement to get some concrete work done to widen our driveway. He told us it would take three days at the most, but he still isn't finished 20 days later. He left a mess and did damage to surrounding areas through his careless workmanship. He did a horrible looking job and the concrete he installed was not properly finished and slopes toward the driveway rather than away from it.. I honestly don't think he's ever done concrete work before. He is no longer responding to my text messages with the usual phony promise to be here "tomorrow" to finish up. In addition, he went over the estimate by well over a thousand dollars because he told us that the estimate didn't include the price of the concrete and we would have to pay for that separately."

Plant Watering questions, answered by experts

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants.
These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants.
River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures.
Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

Yes, pool designs can be customized to accommodate specific preferences, allowing for unique shapes, personalized tiling, special lighting features, water fixtures, and varying depths to create bespoke leisure experiences.

Backyard water features can add serenity to your property, drown out neighborhood noise, and serve as a focal point to a stunning landscape design. In some cases, a properly installed and maintained water feature can add to your home’s value. Just be sure to check with your insurance company before installation since some features may affect your premiums.

Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.

If you are installing a fiberglass pool, you may want to install or update your patio or deck at the same time to create a safe, comfortable place to sit and dry off or grab a bite to eat after swimming. You might also consider adding a hot tub to the mix, which costs $6,000 on average.
