MOST ASKED ESTIMATE

OF THE MONTH:

Irrigation systems:

This month we have received a lot of requests for watering the lawn and flower beds, with a new irrigation system.

With the temperatures being so hot this August, andeven with the heavy rains, turf and plants still suffered from the heat.

Watering your lawn and plants by hand or with an oscillating sprinkler uses a lot of water and takes a lot of time.

Irrigation systems save you time, water and money. They specifically target areas of your lawn that need regular and consistent watering. Drip irrigation systems are a popular choice for home gardeners, and can help prevent plant diseases due to over or underwatering.

The right irrigation system can add to your home’s value if you ever decide to sell it. A vibrant, lush, green lawn is a big selling point for a home and an irrigation system can help with that.

Fall and Winter are great seasons to have a new system installed, and to be ready for the Spring.

TALK OF THE MONTH:

Tall Fescue Cool Season Grass:

Tall Fescue grass is native to Europe and was introduced into the US in the early 1800’s. It’s a cool-season grass that grows strongly in the Fall and Spring, slowing down and stopping growth in warm summer months. Tall Fescue is the only turf grass in Georgia that provides year round green color not going dormant during the winter months. Tall Fescue grasses are a handsome dark green color, with a medium texture.

Fescue is the most shade-tolerant of the turf grasses requiring only 3-4 hours of sun. But keep in mind, all turf grasses need some sun to survive. It requires more water in the Summer than warm-season grasses. It needs frequent mowing in the Fall and Spring, as those seasons provide optimal growing conditions.

Fall is the perfect time for aerating and overseeding you existing Fescue. Fall and Winter are the best seasons to install Fescue sod.

Retaining walls:

A retaining wall serves to keep soil in place. This mostly applies to landscapes featuring small hills where these walls act as a necessary barrier to prevent the soil from sliding forward in a landslide. Strategically adding retaining walls to your sloped yard can direct rain and irrigation where you want it to go. They help your yard drain safely, preventing costly erosion from hurting your foundation and landscaping. With grading, they are great to terrace your slopped lawn and give you more outdoor space to enjoy.

Retaining walls can be made of wood, stone, or blocks, depending on the look and style you want for your yard.

Retaining wall drainage!!!!

We often receive calls of homeowners who bought a new home, and the previous owner had a retaining wall installed without proper drainage, and now their great looking wall is now falling down.

Retaining wall drainage is critical. It ensures water to not collect behind the wall, causing it to fail. A quality drainage system collects and redirects rainwater away from the wall. It decreases pressure on the soil around the foundation and within the wall itself, reducing erosion and settlement.

BACKYARD MAKEOVER

This backyard project was started by another contractor who fell to finish. We completed a lot the unfished stone work (steps, walls, walkways, landings, patio, finished the pool deck, column caps...). We also installed landscaping lights, new plants and new sod. We also did some drain work. And we built a door for the storage-pool room.
This backyard is now a real oasis. A beautiful outdoor space!

DRAINWORK ALERT!

Flo-Well project!
We first did a yard cleanup and installed shade plants.
The big part of this project was for us to install a flow-well system.
A Flo-Well is a manufactured dry well that is a sustainable solution for storm water runoff. Used independently or as part of a larger storm water management system, Flo-Well units collect, retain, and discharge storm water on-site .

MAILBOX REPAIR & DRAINWORK

For this project, we had to straighten up a mailbox that had started to lean.
In the backyard we installed a drain box and connected the downspouts, so the water would run to the rear of the property and not into the basement.

NEW SOD & IRRIGATION

Here, we installed new Zeon Zoysia sod, a new irrigation system for the new grass. We also added 45ft of Cobble stone edging.

SMALL LANDSCAPING

On this small landscape job, we installed new mailbox, we added some new plants and refreshed all the beds with mulch and long needle pine straw.

DRAIN WORK & WATERFALL

On this project, we installed a new drainage system, and we did a waterfall repair.

LANDSCAPING WORK

On this small landscaping, we replaced the old with the new!
We removed overgrown and unhealthy shrubs, we conditioned the soil, and we added new Azaleas.
We finished it up with our long needle pine straw.

CLEANUP AND LANDSCAPING

Here, we first did a clean up of the beds. We remove old plants and we installed river rocks to the front bed by the porch and we refreshed all the pine straw beds.
