Questions and Answers
As a Surfside Beach homeowner, my shrubs are constantly overgrown and my landscape edging is damaged. Can Gemco help with this specific issue?
Absolutely. We frequently address these common local challenges in Surfside Beach. For overgrown shrubs, our team provides professional trimming and strategic replanting with salt-tolerant, lower-maintenance native species that thrive in our climate. For damaged edging, we don't just replace it; we install durable, long-lasting hardscape edging materials like paver blocks or natural stone that can handle moisture, sand, and foot traffic, preventing frequent repairs. Our approach creates a cleaner, more manageable landscape that enhances your curb appeal.
We're considering adding a new patio and walkway. What does Gemco's 'hardscape construction' process involve?
Our hardscape construction is a comprehensive service that transforms your outdoor living space. For a patio and walkway project, we begin with a design consultation to understand your vision and the practical use of the space. Our process includes proper site preparation and grading for drainage, selection of durable materials suited to the coastal environment, and precise installation of patios, walkways, and any necessary retaining walls. We handle all aspects of the construction, ensuring a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing result that complements your home and landscape.
Does Gemco handle both exterior projects like siding and interior projects like wall construction?
Yes, we are a full-service property maintenance and renovation company. Our expertise spans from the exterior envelope of your home—including roofing, siding, and exterior wall construction—to interior improvements like interior wall framing and finishing. This integrated approach is beneficial for renovation projects, as we can manage the entire scope, ensuring proper weather sealing and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor work. It means you have one trusted, experienced team responsible for the complete project.
