Q&A
As a homeowner in Cumming dealing with weed overgrowth and damaged landscape edging, what's the best approach?
We see this common Cumming issue often, where aggressive weeds can undermine edging. Our approach is two-fold. First, our Landscaping division will professionally remove the weeds and assess the edging damage, often recommending more durable materials suited to our local soil. Second, we address the root cause—proper irrigation design from our team can prevent overwatering that encourages weeds, while our Concrete division can install permanent stone or paver edging that withstands the elements, creating a clean, low-maintenance border for your landscape.
What does your irrigation design and construction service include?
Our comprehensive irrigation service covers the entire process for Cumming homes. It starts with a custom design that factors in your landscape layout, plant types, and local sun exposure to ensure efficient water coverage. Our construction team then professionally installs the system, including piping, sprinkler heads, and smart controllers. Crucially, we also provide ongoing repair and maintenance services to fix leaks, adjust heads, and winterize the system, protecting your investment and keeping your landscape healthy through Georgia's seasons.
How does your multi-division structure benefit my landscaping project?
Our unique structure as four coordinated divisions—Landscaping, Concrete, Piers, and Metro Contracting—means your project is handled with specialized expertise under one roof. For example, a complete backyard renovation with our Landscaping team can seamlessly include a concrete patio or retaining wall built by our Concrete division, and if the site requires foundational support, our Piers team is already part of the crew. This eliminates the need to coordinate multiple contractors, ensures consistent communication and quality, and provides a single point of accountability for your entire project in Cumming.
