Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, because we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”

Customer Feedback:
KDG Refacing
“They gave us a spectacular living room with a huge entertainment center, cabinets, and a bar with a wine fridge. Our friends come in here and their mouths just fall open. They have wonderful ideas, are honest, and are fine people. I feel like I’m living in a new house!”
