Good work takes prep. Before a single plant goes in the ground or a paver gets set, we spend real time getting the foundation right - and that's exactly what this Dickson renovation is all about. Weed barrier down, plants laid out, grade work done. The messy middle is where the quality gets built.
Here's what we were working with - bare beds against a beautiful stone exterior that deserved something better than bare dirt and overgrown grass. We mapped out the planting layout before touching the soil, staging everything from hydrangeas and ornamental grasses to shrubs along the foundation. Getting the spacing right at this stage saves a lot of headaches down the road.
On the hardscaping side, the crew got to work setting pavers near the entry steps. You can see the string lines pulled tight and the base compacted and ready - that's not an extra step, that's the step that keeps pavers from shifting after the first hard rain. Laid out in a running bond pattern, the gray tones complement the existing brick and wood railing nicely.
Fresh dark mulch in the planting beds, new color plants popped in around the steps, and the crew still going strong mid-job. That's the honest reality of a full landscape renovation - it's not glamorous in the middle, but the end result is worth every bit of it. These guys don't cut corners, and it shows in how the job site is managed even before it's finished.
This kind of work - combining landscape bed installation with hardscaping elements like paver entry areas - is what we do for homeowners who want their yard to actually match their home. A house this nice deserves a yard that holds up its end of the deal.
