Welcome to Decks & Dirt Because your home's outside matters too!
DID YOU KNOW? According to a recent study by the American Nursery & Landscape Association, improved landscaping can increase property value by 7% to 14%. On a $200,000 house, that's a $14,000 to $28,000 increase in value!
SERVICES OFFERED: To this end, we offer the following services:
Deck, Fence, Porch & Patio Care: We stain and treat decks, fences, gazebos, porches, patios, etc. Price: From $125
Did you know that outside space like decks, porches and patios can add significantly to your property’s value? According to the article in the June 2004 issue of Money magazine, Renovations that Pay -- Kitchens, Bathrooms & Decks, Garages, “ Adding outdoor living space is … a surprisingly good investment: A backyard deck returned an average 104% of its cost.”
Once added, the upkeep is extremely important to keep this value intact. We provide all the services you need to keep your outside space beautiful year-round.
Need a deck, fence, porch, patio, gazebo, etc. built or expanded? We have referral arrangements with several licensed contractors. Call for full details.
Lawn Care & Maintenance: Mowing, aerating, mulching, weeding and more. Price: From $35 (for small yards, eg, townhome communities, $25)
If your property requires it, we can handle it. If you don’t have the time or equipment to properly care for your property’s façade, we can handle it on a one-time or annual basis.
Going away on an extended business trip? Received a warning letter from your HOA? Newly moved in, and don’t have the right equipment? Don’t want to spend the weekends doing yard work? Whatever the reason, we can handle all of your lawn care needs – expertly and cost-effectively.
Gutter Cleaning: Residential and lite commercial Price: From $150
Gutters have been used to protect property from water damage, ice damage, and other potential hazards resulting from debris and erosion since the 18th century.
The fundamental purpose of gutters is to divert water and clogging debris away from the foundation of your structure. Gutters are easily clogged and when this happens, any of the following can occur: harmful mold growth and infestation, leaks in the foundation, basement leaks, ruined paint, roof damage, drive and walkway damage, etc.
FYI, your gutters should be cleaned twice a year: once after the fall of autumn leaves, and once again in the spring after snow and ice melts.
Pressure Washing: Residential and lite commercial -- houses, driveways, garages, porches, decks and more! Price: From $75
Some Benefits of Pressure Washing
Increased property value: Where property is concerned, clean will always be in and clean equals increased property values.
Prevent mold and mildew damage: Many don’t realize that algae and mildew can cause damage similar to that of wood-destroying insects such as termites. This can cost thousands to repair. A simple pressure wash can easily prevent this.
Prevent wood deterioration: Did you know? Dirt holds water against the wood, which accelerates its deterioration.
Health benefits: Growing mold and mildew and spores can cause harmful allergies.
Lite Landscaping: Planting flower beds, spreading mulch, trimming hedges and bushes, installing rock beds, etc.
Price: Depends on size of project
Exterior Painting: Residential and lite commercial
Price: Depends on specifics of project

4 Reasons to Care for the Outside of Your Property
1. Resale Value: According to the National Association of Realtors a home with excellent landscaping can get a sale price 6 percent to 7 percent higher than a home with only good landscaping. This translates into thousands (possibly tens of thousands) of dollars, depending on the price of your home!
Simply put, if a potential buyer is not satisfied with the outside appearance of your property, there is a good chance they won’t even want to see the inside. Curb appeal counts!
2. HOA Rules: Live in a community with a homeowners association (HOA)? Avoid fines and the ill will of neighbors by keeping the outside of your property clean and beautiful.
3. City/County/Local Regulations: Did you know? Even if you’re not governed by an HOA, many jurisdictions can fine you for the outside appearance of your property if it is reported by a neighbor. Eg, grass that is too high and pest infestation due to excess garbage/trash are just two examples.
4. Avoid Getting Sued: If your property is not properly maintained and someone gets hurts while on it, you could ostensibly be sued for their injuries. Why? Because you failed to maintain it properly.
Keeping your home's exterior looking its best is what we do best!
