Hoping the weather holds this Saturday as I've got 4 family members coming over to reface my deck with me. Otherwise, I may be doing the work myself

Anybody have a good company to do paver work? Looking to put in a 10'x20' paver patio off the newly finished deck. Not sure how much its going to cost, but its about as simple of a design as you could imagine.

we used proscape and are really happy with the results

Anyone have some good recommendations for a place to get boxwoods and other shrubs and things? near sterling heights. of course looking for decent good quality stuff not crazy expensive. I've checked randazzo and landscape source just want to get some other thoughts as well.. thanks

I believe it's 24 & Romeo Plank and it's definitely the best place I know of for that stuff.

So for the same basic landscaping and patio project I received 3 quotes - 1. $50,000, 2. $37,000, 3. $22,000. Unreal

My landscaping was put in over the weekend and there is no rain in the forecast for the next month. It's going to be fun trying to keep my sod alive. Northville only allows watering every other day and they only granted me a 1 week exception to that rule.

Set the sprinklers to go off at 4am... nobody will know. You shouldn't really water in the heat of the day anyway.

Someone will actually enforce that?

this. watering midday will fry your grass. either water early in the morning or late at night

especially new sod

How does watering fry new sod?

only those that call and ask for the exception

because the midday sun will heat up the water and essentially cook the grass
