"I was overcharged on my project to scalp, remove dead shrubs and clean back yard (turf) and patio. They charge $150 per hour , team of 3 workers. Did a great job and the owner was very professional; however, when I received my invoice, it was for 3 hours more than time spent on the job! They charged for the hour they were at lunch and time to go to the landfill to dump which we were not quoted! I spoke with Judd and he did correct the invoice and apologized 3 times. Just disappointed it happened to begin with! I felt like he should have made certain of the time before he invoiced me! Felt like I was taken advantage of!"
"His crew was very professional and knowledgeable about all kinds of construction work. They showed up on time and got the job done fast with great attention to detail. I will highly recommend them to anyone looking for construction or anything around the house. There is nothing these guys can't do. You must give them a shot!"
"The owner (Jake) came out to my ranch and quoted draining, clearing and expanding an existing 1 Acre pond/tank. He explained the size we could achieve by replacing the existing dam and capturing additional drainage. This was the third bid I received and were all within 10%. However the other two bids would have left me with a cleaned out, mud free 1 acre pond, and Jakes bid left me with a 3.7 acre 14 foot deep lake. After he completed the first existing pond/tank on my ranch I had him move on to another old existing tank/pond for cleaning and expansion. After completing the second 2 acre lake, I had him dig a new lake in a far corner of the ranch that caught run off that we were losing. This one ended up being 1.7 acres and has ended up being a duck magnet. We donâ t live there full time and jake did a great job of sending pictures and calling every other day to give updates. All the spillways were lined with rock that he saved from the excavation. Since all the lakes have been completed, I have had him freshen up and regrade some ranch roads, and clear pasture and fence lines. Would recommend him for any dirt project"

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.
Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.
You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.
It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.
The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.
