After my neighbors? yard was re-landscaped I inquired about their experience and the glowing report was all I needed to finally do something about our backyard ? it had been 7 years since our addition was finished, yet we had never landscaped the back yard. Sheryl (Eckrich) was wonderful. Nothing is ever simple with our old house, so we put Sheryl to the test and she definitely rose to the challenge of dealing with us! We put in a brick patio, a small retaining wall with a poured-in-place, serpentine, concrete cap and a dry well. We added a fountain with an echo chamber, a watering system, lots of lighting, fence posts, quite a bit of dirt, and a French drain down the side of the house with a brick walkway. We did not have them put in the plants, because we wanted to do the planting ourselves, but Sheryl did give us a great plan to help guide us along. The crew that did the work was great: they worked hard, did a profession job, cleaned up after themselves, and were pleasant to be around. We will DEFINITELY call them when we re-do our front yard!
