- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I recently worked with a couple in the Ft. Worth area whose backyard was a particular challenge as it changed elevation several times due to stone retaining walls. The entire garden was overrun with weeds, the flagstone patio was mossy and stained, and the wood deck was bleached by the Texas sun. My crew and I spent one day clearing out all weeds and debris, removing small sucker trees, installing stone around the deck to mitigate a drainage issue, mulching all beds and staining the deck. We utilized all of the client's existing furniture, a birdbath that was on site and now this couple has a peaceful, functional and easy to maintain backyard ready for entertaining!
