"Mr. Luis is the most professional and patient gentleman. He always quickly responded to any of our request before and during the job. Mr. Luis also has the best crew who did an outstanding job to make my broken retaining wall like a new wall again. They also cleaned up the working area nicely. Mr. Luis is very busy, I've waited for more than a week to get the home visit scheduled. But all my wait is paid off since I found the best company to repair my retaining wall! If you can't get the second-day estimate scheduled, I think you shall wait. I highly recommend Arbors and Patios. I will definitely hire them again for my future outdoor improvements."
"Lon Pinckard just finished a big job for me. I couldn't be more pleased. Drainage, driveway, fence, replace railroad tie retaining wall with stone, flagstone patios, and landscape all around. Lon and Sandy (landscape architect) were involved each step of the way, and made sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. He and his team are excellent."
"I found Blaney Stonework & Landscape on Angie's List and felt the reviews for this company far surpassed reviews for other companies. Forrest Blaney met with my husband and I in May to discuss our initial issue with drainage in the back yard. He had several recommendations regarding the gutters which we pursued and immediately executed with Dallas Gutters. We discussed the possibility of not only correcting the drainage issue but also doing hardscape around the pool, extension of the patio, a pad for the hot tub/spa and lastly completely redoing the landscape in the front and back yards. He gave us a list of finished projects to look at and we were very impressed with the work. About a week later he came back with a preliminary design and a phased approach to the project. We elected to have him do the entire job. It was a delight to watch the crew tear out all the old overgrown bushes and the old concrete walkways, including the one to the street. They were like bees around honey! Since nothing had been done to the yards in decades, the neighbors were also very interested in the beehive of activity. Forrest's crew was amazing; everyone knew his job and did it well. His stone masons did a fabulous job on all the stonework around the flower beds and fitting all the flagstone like a puzzle. Forrest was very hands on and was on site during the entire process, many times picking and placing the most interesting pieces of stone. The approach to our house and the front door landing is wonderful and so inviting; previously it just scared people away!! The back yard is now a haven to be enjoyed. We no longer had a pool full of grass after mowing since the entire surrounding area is now either hardscape or river rock. The plantings Forrest chose are beautiful, some annuals, some perennials, hardy trees, and boulders. Forrest has a network of specialists to reach out to for such things as stump grinding and concrete work. He also recommended an irrigation specialist whom we hired to install complete system (Bean Irrigation). We couldn't be happier with our new yards and have received many complements from our neighbors."
"Weâ d like to say the categories of this is not Fair to Texas Green Lead in regard to our project! We got several quotes or attempted to. This project was HUGE, we asked Gerardo to pour a driveway, build a shop pad with a massive retaining wall, erect a 30x50 metal shop, add a 22x20â patio extension extending the existing roof line. Gerardo performed phenominally! Our project took several months but from the start communication has been excellent! All concernâ s big or small was addressed. My Wife and I were hesitant at the beginning of our project but we can assure you, GERARDO and Texas Green Leaf are your top choice! From prepping, pouring and finishing the concrete work, erecting and welding the shop to building our patio extension along with the finish work. Our investment was in great hands! The best part that we appreciate is they take all projects regardless big or small and will segment them into phases! He completes one phase before starting the next which we greatly appreciate. Project management at its finest. If youâ re looking for a competitive price and solid contractor look no further!"
"They do more of a natural landscaping and it just wasn't what I wanted, I wanted something a little different. He was fine, but kind of caters to a specific type of person. It was all fine, I don't remember any problems."
"I had a 11 by 11 addition to my back patio. It looks great. they leveled it as there was a slight slope the further you went out. They were professional prompt and got back to me quickly when I texted them questions I had. After job was done, they cleaned up the area. Would definitely hire them again for future jobs."
"The concrete work was done very well and I am very happy with the results. However there was a bit of trash just left behind such as half empty water bottles and wrappers. They also left my hoses strewn about the yard and left the water on. Aside from those issues, the overall experience was positive and I would recommend R & D concrete to others"
"We wanted a 10' x 20' patio installed but were not sure what materials to use. The area needed leveling and there was a slope to contend with. Aaron gave pros & cons of using pavers/crushed granite vs flagstone/mortar; no hard sell for either one. He explained we would need a small retaining wall on one side of patio to deal with sloping yard. We went with flagstone/mortar as it would match existing retaining wall and steps. Aaron provided an itemized proposal and placed us on his schedule. Communication was excellent throughout the process. Once started, they were finished in a week. Clean-up was outstanding. The workmanship is second to none. Patio is perfectly level, drainage is exceptional, and the flagstone is beautifully placed. We are so fortunate to have found Tecton Stoneworks on Angi. Highly recommend this company!"
"Nathaniel did a great job on replacing the sod in my front yard with Zeon Zoysia. He gave me specific instructions on the care. It is beautiful! He also put some rock in an area in my back yard where I could not grow anything because it has too much shade. Great professional great job!"
Yes, transforming a deck into a sunroom is an absolute possibility. Building a sunroom involves framing in the deck area with walls, adding windows, and affixing a roof. This project is not an easy task, but it does provide a stylish addition to your house. Not all deck designs support this type of renovation project, so consult a professional deck builder before beginning.

Yes, it can be worth screening a porch if you live in an area with beautiful weather, since it allows you to enjoy your outdoor space longer in the spring and summer. The additional protected space may even attract more prospective buyers if you intend to sell—especially if you add seasonal features, like a ceiling fan for summer or a heater to winterize your screened porch.
There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.
Creating a screen room is one of the most cost-effective ways to enclose a patio so you can still use it in the winter. Most screen rooms aren’t insulated, so you’ll need to wrap up warm or use patio heaters in winter. Also, be aware they might not hold up well if you live in a location where heavy snow is common.
