"Working with Artistic Fence was a great experience.  We needed a fence that could contain a dog that can climb chain link, but didn't want a privacy fence to cut us off from our neighbors.  Amy from Artistic Fence came and looked over our property, talked about our options for our fence, and wrote out a bid right there.  She answered all my questions, and was very helpful and professional.  Their bid came in on the low end of the quotes we got.  Their building timeline was reasonable, even though it was the busy season for new fences, and the folks that came to build the fence where prompt, and impressively efficient.  The fence is exactly what we hoped for, and is beautifully done.  We couldn't be happier with it.  
I really recommend Artistic Fence.

Update: A few months after the fence was installed, a few of the wooden caps that cover the fence posts began to split, assumedly because of water.  I called them, they sent someone out, and replaced the broken parts free of charge under the warranty."

"It got off to a rocky start. I had sent in the contract and my money mid Fall and when the first snowfall occurred they were a no show. So, I called and they eventually got someone out the next day. Okay, I thought, I am a new contract. I must have gotten lost in the shuffle.
On the second snow fall, it was a heavy one over 1/2 foot, it took them 9 hours after the snow stopped to show up and plow my driveway. In essence I was stuck in my home until they arrived which was most of the day. I just didn't find this acceptable.  At the very most 6 hours after the snow stops, and even that is too long. The previous company that plowed my driveway would show up during a heavy snow storm and clear my driveway, and if it kept snowing they returned afterward to clear it again. And this hasn't improved. On average it is taking over 9 hours. On one occasion over 12 hours.
I can understand that being a fixed price contract they cannot just keep coming to my house multiple times for a single snow fall, but I cannot agree that this means I sit in my house over 9+ hours before they show up and clear a heavy snow fall that my car cannot get through.
Another complaint, and this is just about the nature of the contract, is that I signed up for 2" service. Which I thought meant that when I had 2" or more of snow in my driveway that they would come and plow. I was wrong. What I was told was that a single snow storm "event" (their word) has to be 2" or more. So, if it snows less than 2" on multiple occasions in a row and I end up with 4,5 or even 6 inches of snow in my driveway they will not plow it under my contract.
My final complaint is they just aren't doing a quality job. They don't make an effort to get close to the garage to clear it. I understand they don't wanna damage my door, but these guys have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of experience. You are telling me they can't get closer than three feet? Also, they just don't clear it from side to side. Every time they show up I have to go out with my shovel and shovel down each side of the driveway. If I didn't do this over time my driveway would narrow in size. I don't pay someone to plow my driveway so that I have to come home, or get up in the morning, and shovel it.
In the end I am just not getting the kind of service I expect for the money I am paying. I will be switching to another service for next winter.

Update: I had my asphalt guy out to see if my driveway needed a coating this year and he informed me that there are large gashes in my driveway from a plow truck dropping its plow. Great. I lowered my quality rating to a C."

"From start to finish, we had a good experience with Fireside Hearth and Home. The store sales staff: very knowledgeable -- they had good information and suggestions but let us make the final decisions without pressure. The installers: neat, courteous, and very accurate  -- an especially welcome skill as they made holes in our wall to vent the stove pipe out and run the gas line in. The scheduler: a true gem -- she cheerfully juggled staff to guarantee our established start-up date.
This is the second purchase we've made at the Eden Prairie store (we had a corner fireplace installed in our upper level 15 years ago), and we would not hesitate to go there again if we ever want a similar type product installed.

"We are happy to day we have finally found a landscape contractor we can rely on and does exceptional work. We had several phases of work performed by them. Tony Cordes and Lasting Impressions Landscape restored our faith in landscape contractors. The water feature design and end result are absolutely gorgeous. The retaining walls and walk ways not only added function and beauty but enhanced the value of our property. In addition to all the hardscape services Tony and his company also provided erosion and water control. Installing several lines of drain tile and reshaping our side yard as to cure water intrusion issues. 
We had specific desires and needs - Tony Cordes not only listened to these but took them to another level. His crew was professional and respectful of our property. We had several estimates done - we found them to be in the average range - however the attention,  execution & creativity made this the best value by a mile. While constructing our pond (approx 15x22 and 5 feet deep) Tony treated every stone and curve as it were a painting. The end result exceeded our already high expectations. We were having an addition done soon after we started some of our landscaping - Tony worked seamlessly with our general contractor and was another reason we had him back for the final phase of yard work after our addition was complete.
If mother nature ever stops this winter - we will take some photos and post - they are gorgeous.  It is always fun to see neighbors and friends as they see the yard for the first time - eyes pop wide open - just another validation to us that we made the right choice for a landscape contractor.
So in summary if you are you tired of inconsistent and undependable landscape contractors and are looking for a contractor that has vision, creativity, listens to his clients needs, someone that can execute and deliver and go that extra mile for their client you will find it at Lasting Impressions. If you are searching for a landscape contractor that delivers highest level quality of service at (what I feel are) average prices -  we confidently recommend Lasting Impressions and Tony Cordes.

"We originally had laminate flooring on most of the main floor (about 575 s.f.) in our 4 year old home. Due to a leaky wash machine, all of the laminate flooring had to be removed. My wife and I had never had tile installed before, but we decided to give Joe at Tabery Design a call. Within a day or two Joe stopped by to give us an estimate for installing tile throughout all the damaged rooms (kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, dinette and foyer). In addition to the estimate, Joe gave us tips on what to look for when selecting floor tile and gave us ideas on various tile installation patterns. He also recommended quality tile distributors in our area where we could shop. To eliminate any future problems we may have with a leaky wash machine, Joe had the idea to install a shower drain under the wash machine. What a great idea! When we gave him the go ahead for the installation, Joe immediately ordered the tile and started prepping the floor. Instead of using the traditional cement backer board to lay the tile on, Joe recommended pouring a thin layer or self-leveling concrete on the subfloor which he had covered with a paper. This would greatly reduce the chance of cracking when the house settles. A nice touch in my opinion. After the floor had cured, Joe was right back to install the tile. It took about 2-3 days to completely install the tile. The grout took an additional day. From the beginning of the floor prep to the end of the grout work, the job took about 5 work days. Very quick for 575 s.f. in my opinion. Throughout the job Joe was extremely professional. He always picked up before he left for the day and he was extremely meticulous about how the tile was installed. My wife and I are so happy with the way the floor turned out. Thanks to Joe, everything was done efficiently and painlessly. As a result, we have a master bathroom and a kitchen backsplash we'd like to have tiled and Tabery Design will be at the top of our list when we decide to move forward with them. I would recommend Joe to anyone interested in having a high-quality tile floor installed. Thanks again Joe!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Waconia, MN

Most shed foundations benefit from a gravel layer four to six inches deep after proper compaction. The exact depth may vary depending on your specific soil conditions, climate, and shed weight. In areas with poor drainage or for heavier structures, contractors might recommend slightly deeper installations. Building the pad in multiple compacted layers rather than a single thick pour helps achieve optimal stability and load distribution.

Gravel pads cost significantly less than concrete foundations. While gravel materials run about $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, concrete slabs average $6 per square foot. For a standard shed base, this price difference translates to substantial savings. Beyond the initial cost advantage, gravel pads also offer easier installation, simpler modifications if needed, and don't require specialized concrete finishing skills.

For a standard 10-by-12 shed pad, you'll need enough gravel to cover 120 square feet at the recommended depth. At rates of $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, expect to spend $150 to $216 on gravel materials alone. Remember to factor in extending the pad beyond the shed's dimensions by one to two feet on each side for better drainage and stability, which increases the actual area needed.

The ideal gravel for shed foundations combines stability with proper drainage capabilities. Crusher run ($0.40 per square foot) makes an excellent base layer because it contains various particle sizes that lock together when compacted. For top layers, angular gravel provides better drainage while maintaining stability. Avoid perfectly round decorative stones as they don't compact effectively and may shift under weight, compromising your shed's stability over time.
