ATask Landscaping

A tribute to Smokey and the Bandit, and Convoy "We Do Lawns They Say Can't Be Done"-#ATask #smokeyandthebandit

It was a hot day to finish up this job! We installed a wall with steps, a new drainage system, a new path up to the driveway, and a side path for the garden! Enjoy some before and after photos! (The before photos are labeled.) Hopefully everyone is staying hydrated on these sunny hot days

Today was a beautiful day for some landscaping! We mulched and mulched and mulched some more... Stay tuned for some transformation photos soon!

The sun has been nice these past few days Now is the time for spring cleanups and mowing lawns! Check out these before and after photos from a recent job. Edging, Weed removal, and Much installation makes a big difference to make all your landscapes neat and beautiful.

With the weather warming up and spring around the corner, it’s time to get ready for the next season of landscaping. We are excited to do our best work yet and provide excellent landscape and maintenance services! Our first goal is SPRING cleanup! Is anyone else excited about Spring coming right up? The sunshine has been so beautiful lately in the Binghamton area!

The walls are nearing completion and then on to the planting !

‘‘Tis the season

Day 3, and finally getting to the cap stones !

Rock cleanup made easy!

Here’s the update on some of the wall progress despite the snow flurries yesterday.

The most important part of building a wall is getting the base right. In this build we are using 12 inches of crushed stone for maximum drainage and minimal settling.There are several steps that must be followed to make your wall last 1 - Excavate 12 inches of soil or more to remove soft dirt. Allow a pitch or runoff area for water to drain away from base. 2- Tamp the excavated areas with a plate compactor. It’s important to run over the same areas multiple times 3-Apply no...n-woven geotextile fabric. The purpose is to keep clean crushed stone from migrating into the dirt. Also it keeps dirt out and this eliminates frost heave. 4- Fill excavated area with 12 inches of crushed stone, while tamping every 6 inch layer 5-Smooth area and paint your lines. If your thinking of building a wall or retaining wall, don’t skip steps. You only want to build It once. We are excited to see this build all finished, more pics to follow!

It’s slowly starting to warm up and we are getting ready to start the season! Check out last years promo video!

Thinking of things to be thankful about in winter .. No snakes !

I have to say, the before and after pictures can really show what a little rock can do!

Some of our customers were hit pretty hard by recent flooding, especially in Kirkwood NY. The pictures below represent what used to be well maintained lawn areas devastated by the fast moving water. We are hoping for some dryer weather moving forward.
