Customers say: Quality work

"We were very pleased with the finished small rock retaining wall. It looks better than we had expected. However it took a little longer than we expected. They had said 10 days, and of course that meant working days. One day they did not show up and so we called and eventually they called back and said they were having trouble with the company truck. Another day they did not show up and we called and they said that they were getting materials. However we very much like the final results of the work."

"It went Amazing! From beginning to end. I called and left a message with Eric. I was not expecting a call back so quickly. He was able to come out to my property the next morning. Eric was extremely nice and courteous. He was VERY knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. He was very patient with me. He didn't seem to rush the appointment like some other landscaping companies had. The day the project started Jose(project manager) was the nicest man. He was on time, answered more questions, and was easy to communicate with. They took up my old grass with the tiller, and did it the right way. Very clean company. Everyday before they left they would make sure to clean up very well. The attention to detail on their clean ups is what really stood out to me. Eric had showed me some flagstone work he had done at another home and I had to have it. The flagstone walkway was very beautiful and exceeded my expectations. We even added some deer resistant plants in my front yard that really made my front yard look amazing! I am extremely happy with Alamo city scapes and everyone who helped me through my project. I recommend this company with anyone starting a project big or small to give these guys your business. If there was an A+ rating on here I would give it to them!"

"Chris and his team did a wonderful job transforming 3 of our front beds which was old and aged builder landscape with no character to a clean and modern look with lots of color. They dramatically enhanced the curb appeal of our home. They were a pleasure to work with start to finish. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a complete landscaping make over."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
