Normally we only use concrete as a sub-base for mortaring brick or stone or tile, or as footers for decks. But we can pour patios and sidewalks and driveway's too.

November Tips

2005-10-30T08:07:00.000-05:00

For a green lawn all winter, plant annual Ryegrass now.

Want an evergreen perennial that blooms in February? Plant Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis) now!

Fertilize Pansy beds with Osmocote or Greenlight 25-10-17 Plant Food.

Fertilize your Fescue lawn eight weeks after planting seed. Be sure to water.

Plant English Laurel, Aucuba, and Holly now. Remember to water deeply every two weeks so these evergreen shrubs do not dry out.

Plant Camellias, the jewels of the winter garden. Try Yuletide, Apple Blossom and Setsugekka for beautiful blooms.

Plant balled and burlapped trees and shrubs. Plant in a hole dug at least twice as wide as the rootball. Choose from Japanese Maples, Dogwoods, Hemlocks and Hollies.

Cut back faded perennials for the winter.

Bird feeders bring lots of color and activity to the winter garden. Most experts recommend black oil sunflowers for general feeding.

Deer-Resistant Ornamental Plants inGeorgia

2005-10-20T02:34:00.000-04:00

"As shadows lengthen in the late afternoon, deer leave the shelter of the woods in search of food. They inspect your trees, shrubs and flowers as if they were a buffet table. Nibbling pansies for an appetizer, they progress to azaleas for the main entree. Then it's on to the daylilies for dessert."

Natural History Series: Copperhead

2005-10-19T16:46:00.000-04:00

Copperheads are venomous snakes and members of the pit viper family. Pit vipers have a heat-sensing organ in a facial pit located between the eye and the nostril. The organ is useful in locating food by detecting the body heat of prey species. Copperheads are not generally aggressive snakes and rarely injure people. They are secretive but valuable members of the wildlife community in Georgia. They range throughout most of Georgia and occupy a variety of habitats. This publication discusses general aspects of their life history.

Environmental Enhancement with Ornamental Plants: Attracting Birds

2005-10-18T22:39:00.000-04:00

"Birds can be an important aspect of our backyard environment. In many cases, the quality of our environment is perceived to be directly related to the population of birds. The bird population in your yard or neighborhood park can be increased with the proper selection and arrangement of ornamental trees and shrubs. The selection of food-producing plants can ensure the presence of birds year-round. "

2005-10-18T22:34:00.000-04:00

"Ornamental plants provide homeowners the means to improve their local environment in many ways. Generally, all that is required is a knowledge of appropriate plant varieties and how to utilize them in the landscape."

Grasscycling: Feed Your Landscape - Not the Landfill

2005-10-18T16:42:00.000-04:00

Georgia's landfills are filling up and closing at an alarming rate, and citizens everywhere are recycling to help them last longer.

Grasscycling, the natural recycling of grass clippings by leaving them on the lawn when mowing instead of bagging them, is proving to be a simple and effective way to save landfill capacity while saving you time, work and money in the landscape.

Environmentally Friendly Landscape Practices

2005-10-18T08:44:00.000-04:00

Georgia Homeowners spend thousands of dollars each year on fertilizer, water and pesticides for their landscapes. Much of this is applied incorrectly or unnecessarily, wasting money and polluting our environment. With proper planning, planting and maintenance, a healthier landscape can be created with less expense, less work, and less damage to the world around us.

Control of Common Pests of Landscape Plants

2005-10-17T22:32:00.000-04:00

"Many species of insects or mites attack Georgia landscape plants. Homeowners have difficulty controlling these pests because they often are not aware of the problem until both the infestation and the damage are extensive, or they may apply insecticides improperly or at the wrong time. "

Drainage

2005-03-03T00:31:00.009-05:00

We have done a lot of drainage work. But most drainage features are just a part of another job like the channel drain in this picture.

Here is a dry creek bed under a stone bridge to channel water runoff.

Here is another.

And yes - We can install black pipes and catch basins too.

Custom Arbor & Lattice

2005-03-02T22:59:00.006-05:00

To see a slide show of Arbors & Lattice not featured on this page CLICK HERE.

This house is on a corner and had absolutely no privacy in the backyard. So we planted Leyland Cypress and Deodar Cedar on the property line. Then poured a large extension to the concrete patio.

We built a neat looking arbor with custom lattice. The lattice was built to interlock in large squares so it looks exactly the same on both sides. The path leads to the front under another small arbor.

The result is another usable back yard and satisfied customer. It once had all the privacy of a fishbowl. Now it is the envy of the neighborhood.

AFTER PAINTING

No Backyard to Cool Backyard

2005-03-02T22:31:00.007-05:00

The next pictures show how we converted a completely useless back to a very cool useable backyard with a playground for the kids.

First, the BEFORE picture:

The next picture was taken after we extended the crosstie wall and hauled in fill.

The next picture shows the progress unfolding.

And the next picture is the immediate AFTER picture. Too bad the Liriope edge along the path edge had not grown yet. Actually, the next picture is not the finished product because you can see shrubs on the deck in pots that had not been installed yet.

The next picture is ONE YEAR LATER.

In the next picture you can see the tube slide from the upper level to the Swing Set,
and woods below.

As you can see next, we built a new staircase from the house deck,
which included a Slide for the kids.

Lot's and lot's of steps.

These steps are Granite Cobblestones in a Timber Edge lined with Liriope.

The result was a usable backyard and a satisfied customer!
