- LandscapingNew landscaping and the extra watering that accompanies it can cause temporary drainage problems, as can unusually severe weather conditions. If sod, trees, or shrubs are part of your purchase agreement, proper watering and care of these items are your responsibility.
- FencingYou share in an overall drainage plan for the community that was predetermined before the homes were built. The rough and final grades around your Home have been inspected and approved for proper drainage of your lot. Where required by municipal regulations, our surveyor completes a grading certification and then the local municipality inspects the site for approval. Yards drain from one to another. Yards may drain from front to back, back to front, or have split drainage. Use caution when installing landscaping, fencing, or additions to your Home to prevent causing water problems on adjacent lots.
- DrivewaysAsphalt is a flexible and specialized surface. Like any other surface in your Home, it requires protection from things that can damage it. Over time, the effects of weather and earth movement will cause minor settling and cracking of asphalt. These are normal reactions to the elements and do not constitute improperly installed asphalt or defective material. Avoid using your driveway for one week after it is installed; keep people, bicycles, lawn mowers, and other traffic off of it.
- ExcavationWe construct the foundation of your Home beginning with an excavation into the earth. When the foundation walls are complete, the area surrounding them is backfilled. Soil in this area is not as compact as undisturbed ground. Water can penetrate through the backfill area to the lower areas of your foundation. This can cause potentially severe problems such as wet basements, cracks in foundation walls, and floor slab movement. Avoid this through proper installation of landscaping and good maintenance of drainage.
- Landscape LightingFrom indoor to outdoor lighting, transform the look of any space with the flick of a light switch. Brighten up the kitchen with the perfect combination of pendant lights, track lighting, or under cabinet lighting.

Our lighting experts will help you choose from the latest styles, designs, and trends to create the perfect lighting design for your home.

- GuttersCondos come with many benefits but, they aren’t for everyone. Whether you should buy a condo comes down to where you are in life and your preferences. One of the primary advantages of living in a condo is that there are no exterior maintenance responsibilities. While homeowners are busy mowing their lawns, trimming hedges, and cleaning gutters condo owners are busy hanging out at the pool, taking trips, or just relaxing! Another benefit for those who are social butterflies is condos are much closer in proximity to one another than single family homes. There are also more units in a given area. This creates a level of closeness that doesn’t exist in large subdivisions. Since condos tend to attract people of similar backgrounds and interests, there’s a greater likelihood of co-mingling.
