Not only are they knowledgeable about gardening, but they are friendly as well. Their service is also affordable. When we need any other landscaping work done, we will definitely call them. **★★★★★ — kwill097, May 2018** > Drew was great and easy to communicate with. As first time home buyers, we were so busy packing and moving we didn't think of buying a lawnmower. Our lawn was getting a bit high to we reached out and within 24 hours our lawn was done. We only needed a one time mow, but we highly recommend him if you need weekly/biweekly/monthly lawn care. **★★★★★ — Robin Brevard, April 2018** > “Curb Appeal Fixer’s” owner, Andrew’s professionalism is an asset to his company. Drew appears to be very knowledgeble about “all things lawn related” and has great ideas for addressing problem areas with your grass. Drew’s work quality, and ability to meet deadlines is 1st rate. Weekly lawn care service fee that Drew charges is very affordable and fits my budget perfectly! **Comment from Curb Appeal Fixers Landscaping:** > Thanks... I look forward making your garden bed and backyard both functional and beautiful for you this year. **★★★★★ — cheryl\_taylor922, March 2018** > Mr. Drew is a professional, respectful and a crafty young man.

They also dug my car out and made sure I had a clear passage from my door to my car. They knew what I required and completed it as I requested. I will call on The curb Appeal Fixer again. ## Selected projects - [SP Morton Landscaping Reimagined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sp-morton-landscaping-reimagined-pj-vj~6722462) - Location: Franklin, VA - Photos: 15 - Description: Beginning of the sensory garden space, that relates to all the five senses “touch, taste, smell, sight and sound” with a herb spiral project in front with and assortment of herbs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated :). growing katuk, moringa, malbar spinach, cranberry hibiscus winged beans, pigeons peas, etc. A: I know he recently moved to Central America I still follow him. And easy way to test your soil in any part of the world is the simple Jar test. **Q: underplanting pawpaw with lowbush blueberry?** *(in Fruit & Orchards)* Has anyone under planted their pawpaws with lowbush blueberry? Since pawpaw supposedly likes somewhat acidic soil and has a big taproot, I was was wondering if this could work. Any thoughts? A: I am an expert when it comes to pawpaw trees and from seeing how they grow in the wild, I say high Bush blueberries love growing in the understory with pawpaw trees. **Q: 2 bathrooms? 1 large? Or 1 full and 1 half?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi! I am currently remodeling my house that is a 4/2. The guest bathroom measures 128"x92" from the outside walls. The architect seems to think we can squeeze 2 full baths in there but subtract the 8" for the walls and they become very small. What do you think? Should we do a half bath and then a full bath? Or 2 full bathrooms that will be quite small? The other idea I had was to make one a shower and the bigger one a tub. Please anybody with ideas for that size space? Thanks! A: Sample layout? **Q: Need bathroom shower ideas** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi all, The main bathroom of our house in pretty inconvenient. It looks nice but it's not functional. The old owners were just that.....older couple, empty-nesters, when they renovated. Her husband was also a contractor so the work was done by him. Although we have our master bathroom, they made this main bathroom (the one closest to the other bedrooms) a spa bathroom. Though small, it has an awesome skylight and a deep soaker tub. With the pedestal sink, there wasn't much storage, not really usable for a family bathroom. We took out the mirror and installed a medicine cabinet and added the shelving over the toilet. The problem is that the tile only goes to halfway up the walls and our inspector told us the wall sconces are not waterproof. So taking a shower in there is not a good idea. We have another bathroom but it's on the other side of the house off the kitchen and family room. That's where guests/family need to go to shower. It's not convenient. We don't have the money to completely redo the bathroom and overall it's fine. What I want is the ability for people to shower there. What we need are ideas for waterproof indoor wall sconces? Waterproof wallcovering? I'd rather not have to rip out the tile already there if I can avoid it. I'm not sure I could find the matching tile so if I went tile, would it look weird if a different tile was used? We are looking to do the work ourself. Thanks in advance! A: I would defiantly get rid of the wall sconces (don't know why someone would put that kind of lighting that close to a water source). I would also rip out the horrible looking dark tile but I would keep the tub it looks like its in pretty condition and matches the sink and toilet and I love the wood flooring pulling the whole space together. Bottom line (remove the wall sconces to make the shower safe again). And replace that dark tile with white subway tile (you can never go wrong with subway ... that's like my go to tile on projects). **Q: Looking for creative ideas** *(in Design Dilemma)* This is the base of an old corn silo behind our barn. We are finishing up the addition of the barn and I am looking for creative ideas of what to do with this area. I can just fill it in with dirt but hoping to do something cool but can't figure out really anything. (Excuse all the trash, this is actually 90% cleaner than when we bought it.). A pond of some sort would be cool but can't figure out how that would work. Any ideas? It's behind the barn next to where we have an upper deck which I would also like ideas of what to do. HELP. Y'all are all so awesome! A: If you raise some ducks for eggs it would make a good water feature for them. **Q: Should uppers always end with lowers?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello, I'm trying to nail down my Ikea kitchen design (before the sale ends!) and am wondering if anyone has any thoughts regarding this wall. I am leaning toward not running upper cabinets all the way to the doorway and maybe putting in some open shelves in the space instead (please note: unlike the picture, doorway will not have trim, instead planning to just wrap doorway in drywall). I felt like the upper cabinets loomed over the doorway when I ran them the same length as the lowers. Has anyone seen this done? Is it okay to end uppers and lowers at different points? Thanks very much in advance! I appreciate all thoughts, ideas, and/or suggestions! A: I'm also a landscape designer if you have a "desperate landscape"... --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
