Questions and Answers
What does a 'full-project' handyman service mean for my Southaven home improvement?
It means DeSoto DIY manages your entire project from start to finish. Instead of you hiring separate electricians, carpenters, and landscapers, I coordinate all the trades needed based on my 20+ years of commercial experience. Whether it's assembling furniture, repairing drywall, installing a new door, or building a patio, I handle the complexities so you get a seamless result without managing multiple contractors.
Can you help with common local lawn issues like insect damage and bare patches?
Absolutely. For Southaven lawns struggling with insect damage or unsightly bare patches, I offer a complete solution. This starts with a diagnosis of the specific issue—whether it's grubs, chinch bugs, or soil problems—followed by targeted treatment. I then handle the necessary lawn care, from irrigation repair to ensure proper watering, to reseeding or sod installation. My landscaping services are designed to restore the health and appearance of your yard efficiently.
Do you offer design services for outdoor living spaces like patios or retaining walls?
Yes, I provide full design and construction services for outdoor projects. Drawing on my background in commercial construction and landscape design, I can help you plan a functional and attractive patio, walkway, or retaining wall for your Southaven property. The process is collaborative; I listen to your vision, handle the design, obtain any necessary materials, and complete the construction, ensuring a cohesive build that meets your needs and enhances your outdoor space.

Business Overview
For over 20 years, I've honed my skills in the commercial construction industry, working on major Memphis-area projects from St. Jude to Youth Villages. After a career spent navigating complex regulations, I founded DeSoto DIY to bring that depth of experience directly to Southaven homeowners. My journey started with hands-on rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, learning framing, roofing, and concrete. I then spent 15 years with a top Memphis general contractor before extensive trade school education. Now, I focus on what I love most: helping neighbors achieve their DIY dreams without the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. From a simple fan installation to a complete custom patio build, I handle the entire project with care, ensuring quality work you can be proud of. My goal is to be your single, reliable resource for handyman, carpentry, and landscaping needs, saving you time and providing fair, detailed service.
