Questions and Answers
I'm a Jacksonville homeowner with damaged landscape edging and shrubs that are dying. Can you help?
Absolutely. We frequently address these common local issues. For damaged edging, we provide repair or complete walkway and patio reconstruction to restore clean lines and functionality. For declining shrubs, our services include expert shrub care, disease and insect management, pruning, or full removal and replanting with healthier, Florida-friendly species. We assess the specific cause—often related to soil, irrigation, or pests—and create a practical solution to revive your landscape's health and appearance.
You offer both handyman and landscaping services. Can you manage a project that combines both, like repairing a fence and then landscaping around it?
Yes, that's a specialty of our integrated approach. For example, we can handle the exterior wall or fence construction/repair, then seamlessly move into landscape design and installation around the new structure. This includes shrub planting, irrigation system design, and hardscaping like patios or walkways. Managing all trades under one roof ensures consistent communication, quality, and scheduling, making the process more efficient for you as the homeowner.
As the owner, are you directly involved in the projects?
Yes, I am. Christopher Merrill is actively involved in every job. I started this business in 1994, and it carries my name because I believe in taking personal responsibility for the work. Being on-site allows me to ensure the detail-oriented, quality standards I insist on are met and to work directly with you to address any questions or adjustments throughout the project. My goal is your complete satisfaction.
