Mulching and Flowerbed  Maintenance

I peerform annual maintenance on large or small estates. 

**************************************************************************

 Paver Overlay on walkways and entrances

The walkway uses Cambridge Edgers and Ledgestone I slabs. 

The color is  (onyx natural)

"Integral" LED Lights were installed under the center lip of each step.

Paver Overlays on cement platforms

I expanded the dimensions of the platform by installing a retaining wall around it and extending the pavers out over them.

Below is how the entrance looked before the paver overlay.

This is how the walkway looked before it was widened and rerouted to enhance eye appeal and provide a more direct path to the driveway.

Deck Staining and Repairs 

I sprayed the metal spindles on this deck then stained the wood. 

The deck was two levels with wooden lattice that I stained by spraying.

**************************************************************************



**************************************************************************

Deck Repairs

I replaced some of the decking.  I had to wait till the pressure treated decking was totally dry before staining it.

Hardscapes...(Patios, Retaining Walls, Walkways)  

 This walkway / retaining wall was made to transition from the drivewway, through a gated fence, to the back deck.

*************************************************************************

Paver Patios with steps and flower boxes

EP Henry products were used in this bilevel patio.   Bristol Stone 1 and 2 (blue spruce) pavers, Brisa Wall (Ashland Gray) 6"wall blocks,  and Devonstone Stair Treads (Bluestone).

The flower boxes were made with electrical cable running through so that receptacles could be mounted in the wall.

**************************************************************************

This Paver Patio uses Essex Stone- Patio Slabs accented with a border of 6" x 9" pavers. 

**************************************************************************

Walkway Repairs

This walkway was modified to incorporate a step to reduce the incline of the path (at the top..in the back).  The steps at the bottom were repointed.

**************************************************************************

Hot Tub Pads using Pavers

This is a level Paver Pad designed to set a Hot Tub on!   It was also equipped with lighting.  (4 lights shaped like 6" X 9" pavers fit in with the rest of the pavers)

Specialty Custom Painting

Designs

I like to give a ballpark figure first to see if the job is within the customer's budget or expectations.

Jobs that require extensive planning or designs may require a modest fee that will be deducted from the cost of the job if the customer wishes to proceed  with it.  I also work with my clients to reduce larger projects into affordable projects that can be managed easier over time.

Jobs requiring Time and Materials

Some jobs, especially repairs may be too difficult to estimate and can be negotiated under a time and materials basis.  I prefer to let customers know up front what they can expect to pay.   The time and materials method allows me an option when I cannot.  

Deposits 

For larger projects, I may ask for a deposit.  State law sets a maximum of no more than one third the total job cost that can be asked as a deposit.  Usually, I will request that the customer pay for materials upon delivery to the job site.  For some jobs, I may work out a payment plan using draws prior to starting the work.

Exterior Drainage

Evaluation of terrain for grading and or installation of drainage systems to redirect water away from house foundation and problem areas (ie.  Drainage pipe or French drains).

Stucco Repair and Painting

Includes removal / repair of damaged stucco.   Color and texture of stucco is a determining factor of what action is required.   Application of waterproofing concrete sealers iand stains.

Annual Maintenance keeps beds and other features looking good and lasting long.  Proper annual care to promote new growth and maintain health in plants, shrubs, and trees.  It is the easiest way to help them reach their full potential.
