At Landcore Landscape Construction & Design it is our goal to provide you with a wide range of landscape products to suit your every need. Our experienced staff is available to assist you in product selection and can help you with all aspects of your construction project from design, grading and drainage solutions. Whether you are a contractor, architect or homeowner, we are delighted to assist you in every way. We carry only the finest products and offer a wide variety of colors, styles, shapes and sizes. Masonry hardscaping products, landscaping materials, tools, aggregates and cement products are available, all at one location, for your convenience, for your next irrigation, retaining wall, masonry, concrete paver, outdoor kitchen, fireplace & fire pits, water feature or landscape lighting project. We know our customers have many choices for their landscape and construction materials needs. Our mission is to continually satisfy their highest expectations for quality, service and integrity, to earn their trust and keep them coming back. It's a mission fulfilled through years of repeat business, and a commitment we proudly renew each day when we open our doors for business.

"Landcore Landscape, and Mark in particular, charges a premium price, promises a lot, under delivers, and does not stand by his work. We had another, lower, estimate but went with Mark because he promised his work would be better in several specific areas. For example, he mentioned larger plant pot sizes in our back row of plantings but when the plants arrived they were all the same size. This was changed once we mentioned it but this is just one of many examples where we had to stay on top of things. We thought we were paying a premium price so that we would not have to do so. Many of the plants did not look healthy upon delivery. When we mentioned this, Mark assured us that once they were planted, they would perk up. Three weeks later, one plant was dead and 3 others were looking sickly. Now two and a half months later, we still have one dead plant and now we have 6 other plants that are not looking well. Our irrigation system, checked by Mark, is in fine working order and we followed Mark’s directions exactly. Finally after 4 texts and one voice mail, Mark responded that he thinks the 6 sickly plants may recover and the one dead one--well, we should just take care of that ourselves through a local nursery. Mark is very personable and we tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his response of not caring about our dead and dying plants and that we are on our own has earned him this one star rating. Very unprofessional."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

You can control the flame on a pellet stove by using a damper, often located on the back of the pellet stove. While the damper function varies by model, you can open the damper slightly to let in more air or close it slightly to provide less oxygen, with the ultimate goal of providing a steady flame.

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.

Backdraft is usually caused by a ventilation or pressure problem. To stop it, you need to replace the air your fireplace draws out through the chimney, so open a window to try and increase the airflow. Sometimes turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan can help, but they could also be the cause of the backdraft depending on the air pressure inside your home. You may need to install a makeup air system (MUAS) or chimney fan.

Depending on the model of your fireplace, you can leave your pilot light on year-round. This does use a small amount of fuel, so you’ll save on your energy bill by turning off the pilot light seasonally. Keep in mind that some gas fireplace models don’t have a standing pilot light.

Pellet stoves are designed to run for several hours at a time. Running them for an entire day is not uncommon. More advanced models can run continuously for up to 48 hours, making them ideal if you live in extremely cold conditions and don't want to keep refueling the stove.
