"Absolutely horrible. Miguel has no idea what he is doing when it comes to concrete work. He hires it out and the workers show up asking for more money to do the work I paid for. My concrete slab was poured without gravel and without rebar. Concrete was done extremely sloppy it?s cracked and is continuing to crack. I was extremely rolled with what I paid for and received. They got concrete all over my pool fence and didn?t even clean it up. The concrete was suppose to match my existing concrete lines and it doesn?t they didn?t even put the lines in to match it. I can?t install posts onto the concrete because it?s not even 4 inches thick!!!!!!!Communicate is awful he sends text that make no sense at all. They crushed two pool runoff pipes they only fixed one of them by cutting off 5 ft of pipe. I?ve had to hire a pool repair guy to fix the other runoff pipe which is becoming costly because dirt was shoved so far into the pipe. HORRIBLE ,HORRIBlE, HORRIBLE work period."

Keep your landscape healthy with a steady routine: prune trees and shrubs, mow and edge the lawn, fertilize, aerate, and test the soil every season. Water deeply on a schedule, reseal decks or hardscape when needed, and shore up retaining walls right away. Finish with seasonal chores—mulch beds in spring and winterize tender plants before the first freeze. Following this checklist keeps your yard looking its best all year.
Start by sketching a wish list—shade trees, a patio, maybe a water feature—then set a realistic budget. A landscape pro can walk the yard with you, point out drainage or grading concerns, and turn your ideas into a detailed design. Break the work into phases if needed and lock in a timeline that fits your schedule. With a clear plan and price range, you’ll avoid surprises and keep the project on track.
Landscaping project timelines vary. Planting flowers might wrap up in an afternoon, but building a patio or outdoor kitchen can take several weeks, plus extra time for design approval and material delivery. Add in tasks like grading or utility work, and the calendar stretches further. Map out each phase—design, permits, construction, and cleanup—so you know what to expect and can keep the crew on schedule.
Achieving a refreshed landscape on a limited budget does not demand a huge investment. You can transform your yard with smart, cost-controlled improvements that deliver a striking visual change. A focused budget of under $5,000 supports projects such as installing a simple patio, updating mulching, and adding attractive border plants. This approach not only revitalizes your outdoor space but also optimizes every dollar spent, ensuring an appealing and functional design without overspending.
