1 – For new construction, you will want to make sure your yard is at final grade so that all topsoil is placed and leveled out to grade (ready for sod or seed). For existing landscapes (retrofit) you will want to have any grade changes that need to be done completed before we arrive.
2 – You need to determine the location of any sprinkler heads located in existing landscape. It is recommended to mark sprinkler heads the night prior to your installation. This way we can work the layout of your new curbing/borders around your sprinkler heads so that none of them get covered or damaged. As for new landscapes, it is best to have your funny pipe already ran to where you want your heads placed with approximately 6″ extra sticking out of the ground, this way you have enough to place your heads after the installation of your border. Also have any drip lines ran to your flower beds prior to installation of curbing/borders.
3 – New construction landscapes should schedule your sod delivery for no sooner than the day after your curbing/borders installation. We recommend no sooner than 3 days after your scheduled curbing install date.
4 – Existing landscapes (retrofit) it is recommended to mow you lawn 1-3 days prior to you install. We discourage against mowing your lawn for one week after your curbing has been installed. Do not use a weed eater up against your new curbing for a minimum of two weeks after completion.
5 – ***PLEASE REMOVE ALL PET WASTE FROM YOUR YARD*** the evening before or the morning of your install. Some of our crew will be down on the ground on their hands and knees working the curb, so It is greatly appreciated if you did this. Please dont make us crawl around in it. THANK YOU!
6 – DO NOT WATER YOUR LAWN the night before or the morning of your install.
7 – We will need clear access to your yard. If we are working in the backyard, we will need at least a standard man size gate for access.
