How To Install Rain Chains - Photos & Ideas

These new homeowners fell in love with this home's location and size, but weren't thrilled about it's dated exterior. They approached us with the idea of turning this 1980's contemporary home into a Modern Farmhouse aesthetic, complete with white board and batten siding, a new front porch addition, a new roof deck addition, as well as enlarging the current garage. New windows throughout, new metal roofing, exposed rafter tails and new siding throughout completed the exterior renovation.

Rain Garden Milford Michigan

Landforms

This environmentally minded client in Milford Michigan. contacted us to create a rain garden. They were both master gardeners and had a very specific plants that they wanted to utilize in the waterwise location. The area was a small triangle shaped piece of ground between two driveways. We creatd a natural depression in the center of the garden for the rain to accumulate once the rain barrel was to capacity. The soil that we removed was used to fill the small raised planter bed that we constructed. This would keep the water away from the foundation and give the homeowners a spot to add a Green Japanese Maple and Hydrangea who like it a little drier. We then installed natural michigan fieldstone boulders as a transition form the grade level to the rain garden. Black onyx stone was used to frame the entire garden and it works very well with all of the colorful plant material. Landforms Inc.

Fascia Repair for Seamless Gutter Install, San Antonio, TX

Gutter Tex

The owners of this San Antonio home needed repair work to their fascia boards. Rainwater had badly rotted and warped the wood. If left untreated, damaged fascias can allow water into the roof cavity. This can cause serious structural problems later on. Wood absorbs even small amounts of water. Light rainfall is enough for unprotected fascias to start to warp or rot.
