Q&A

What's the first step in fixing a patchy or compacted lawn in the Athens area?

The first step is a site assessment to diagnose the specific cause, which is often related to our local clay-heavy soil, drainage issues, or wear patterns. For patchy grass, we might recommend core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with grass varieties suited to our Tennessee climate. For more severe cases, our landscape construction service can include grading, installing proper drainage, or even a complete lawn renovation with new sod to create a healthy, resilient foundation.

Do you handle both the design and construction of a project?

Yes, we offer a seamless, start-to-finish service. Our design team works with you to create a detailed plan for your deck, fence, or landscape that fits your vision, property, and budget. Then, our experienced construction crew executes that plan, ensuring the final build matches the design in quality and detail. Managing both phases in-house allows for better communication, efficiency, and a single point of accountability for your entire project.

How do you approach building a deck that will last in Tennessee's weather?

Durability starts with material selection and proper construction techniques. We discuss options like pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or cedar, each with different maintenance needs and lifespans. Critical steps include using corrosion-resistant fasteners, ensuring adequate structural support and ventilation beneath the deck, and applying a protective stain or sealant. Our focus on weatherproofing and using materials proven in our local climate helps ensure your deck remains safe and attractive for years.
