"Recently, Mauricio Rios became owner of SweetGrass Landscaping Solutions LLC. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be among his clients, since we have benefitted from his landscaping skills and professionalism since last January. In January JC Landscaping Solutions installed for us their signature walkways made of rectangular paving stones in two shades of gray. They are gorgeous. But, before they could do that, they had to complete the removal of a huge oak tree in our front yard which was infested with carpenter ants. The company we had hired for the job made a mess of it. They managed to destroy our front sidewalk and some bushes and pull down two power lines. WhenJC Landscaping came to our rescue, the stump was five feet high and a huge portion of the trunk lay on the ground. JC Landscaping, with Mauricio as foreman, finished the job for a very reasonable price in five hours. So, we first saw Mauricio welding an ax and operating a stump grinder. We also found that his English is excellent. The company then installed a new sidewalk after removing tree roots which had caused the old one to buckle. As the result of Mauricio's careful supervision, we now have a sidewalk leading to our front steps which is not only beautiful but LEVEL. Next came a connecting walkway which leads to a wheelchair ramp and curves to 17 stepping stones that lead to a lower garden.This was more challenging. The rectangular pavers are straight. They do not bend. Cutting the pavers and fitting them together to make the walkway CURVE up to the wheelchair rampant then CURVE to the steps required great patience and skill. With Mauricio's supervision this was done successfully and the result is beautiful. JC Landscaping also removed the wheelchair ramp, which had seen better days, and built a new one. After that, Mauricio has supervised the planting of grass, the laying of mulch, weeding, mowing, etc. Growing new grass during the hot summer months was difficult, but, as the result of persistence and cooler Fall temperatures, the new grass is healthy and beautiful. As a finishing touch, Mauricio recently installed a tall spiral wind spinner where the oak tree once stood. It puts on quite a show when there is the slightest bit of wind. Mauricio's new company, SweetGrass Landscaping LLC, will now continue for us the fine work done under Mauricio's supervision by JC Landscaping Solutions We couldn't be more pleased. Joe Kitchen"

"Jose has assembled a team of painting craftsmen. The prep work was meticulous and the finished paint product is on that I'm proudly showing to friends and family. I received a couple of estimates before choosing JG Painting and have never felt the slightest regret at having selected JG. I would recommend this company for any paint project. In fact, I've asked Jose for an estimate for deck repair and staining. I have full confidence I'll be just as satisfied with that project as I am with my new interior."

Frequently asked questions
- Budget: Your budget is central in influencing which fence you buy. Figure out your spending limit and determine your budget per linear foot, as fencing costs can quickly add up.
- Durability: Consider strength, lifespan, resistance to pests, rot and fungus, rust, and the material’s ability to withstand local weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Maintenance, cleaning and repairs should be simple and minimal.
- Purpose: The style of fence you choose should be suitable for its intended purpose.
- Installation: Find out what installation requirements, such as foundations or supports, are necessary. Research if DIY is possible or if professional installation is your only option.
- Wood fence styles range from traditional to contemporary and from purely functional to attractive and decorative.
- Lattice fences are affordable and decorative. You can use them as privacy fences by growing dense foliage over them.
- Vertical board fences are the most common type of residential fence. There are budget-friendly options available as well as higher-end panels. Vertical board fences are affordable choices for basic privacy and security fences.
- Picket fences conjure up cozy images of traditional properties with carefully tended lawns. They’re good for demarcating a property boundary but don’t provide much security.
- Post-and-rail fences are a solid choice for making a boundary over a large area, as material use is minimal. However, they don’t provide any security or privacy.
- Metal fences are generally stronger and more secure than other materials. You can choose from highly ornate and secure metalwork or simple but functional wire. For the higher-end options, which are often costly, homeowners often reduce costs per square foot by combining the metal with brick.
- Aluminum fencing is an attractive, more affordable alternative to wrought iron. Although it has a similar appearance, it’s not as strong as wrought iron.
- Steel fencing is a strong, long-lasting fencing option that’s good for creating a secure barrier around your home.
- Vinyl fencing made from PVC comes in a range of styles, including those that mimic real wood.
- Composite fencing is an amalgamation of wood fibers, pulp or sawdust and ground plastic particles that are bonded and held together by an acrylic resin. It looks and feels like real wood and is an environmentally friendly choice, as it usually contains a high percentage of recycled materials.
- Wire fences are not made to enhance the aesthetics of your property, although some homeowners opt for black fencing to help boost aesthetics. They are inexpensive, purely functional products suitable for DIY or professional installation.
- Barbed wire fencing isn’t common in residential settings. While it’s an inexpensive, fierce and intimidating security deterrent, it isn’t attractive and will not add value to your home.

I side is 200 ft. The other side is 100 ft. The 200 ft side currently has collapsed chain link, which I can have removed beforehand, it that will increase the price. The 100 ft side is against the tree line and will likely require more than a post-hole digger to set posts. Undecided on 6 or 8 ft. I would like decent quality wood that won't start warping quickly but it doesn't need to be high end--it's in the back yard. I can wait until later in the year if that will lower the cost estimate.Project Location: Durham, NC Date: 05/25/23Nature of Project: Install a new fenceLocation: Home/ResidenceDesired Completion Date: Timing is flexibleRequest Stage: Planning & BudgetingFencing material: WoodComment: This is a rental house.
