William Dickerson Paving The Way!
What would you do if there were a crack in the earth... the ground you walk on, pay taxes on? If it happens to be your patio or sidewalk, consider my perspective... if it's cracked or broken up, don't just look to fix it... seize the opportunity to improve it with pavers! Paved patios and walkways not only add a new dimension of interest to your home, but increase the value of your property. Broken and/or cracked concrete is ugly and it can also be hazardous. Repairing damaged concrete is costly, impossible to match, and difficult to re-pour, whereas pavers are easy to use and offer myriad possibility in regard to color and design. Whatever you want to do... increase the size of your patio or even take it up and move it... pavers make it possible and beautiful! Best of all, pavers don't crack... not the ones we install. I guarantee it! For the remainder of the summer, Dickerson Landscaping is offering 2 for 1 pavers (materials only) up to 200 square feet, a value of over $100. Come visit our design showroom today at 2062 Thomasville Road and let us help you see your patio or walkway in a whole new light!

Light Up Your Life
Fire pits are fantastically simple and affordable ways to add a focal point to any property. They are that necessary 'spark' for any great landscape design and they can also be that hidden gem in an isolated location. Whatever your surroundings, these fire pits add undeniable delight to any event as well as provide private contemplation. What is even more appealing is the price. Several pre-designed and manufactured fire pits are now available from a variety of hardscape vendors which has dramatically reduced installation labor costs. No longer are we spending hours cutting wall blocks to size on site, they're simply delivered and assembled in half the time. Of course, we still like to add our craftsmanship flare for fire pits created from irregular shaped natural stone, but bang for buck cannot be understated for these newly affordable options. In the design world, form follows function! You pretty much know what function a fire pit serves... but you may be surprised how we will craft a fire pit space to compliment your landscape to the excitement of all! Call today to schedule a consultation and receive $50 off any fire pit installation we're contracted to install.

Concrete Evidence
We've all seen what the roots of a tree can do to driveways, patios, and walkways. YIKES! One of our favorite thing about pavers (besides the cool look) is they can be easily changed out... by the piece, or by section and your project is good as new! When it comes to repairing cracked or broken up concrete on the other hand, there's no such thing as "good as new" unless you replace the entire project. So, before you pour that concrete, consider the versatility of pavers... equally strong (3,000 PSI... same as concrete) and twice as diverse. Concrete cracks... pavers last!!

Stay Green Tallahassee
Summer is in full swing and your yard isn't tired looking... yet! But... unless you take proper precautions rest assured it will be under attack by fungus, bugs, and heat... stressing your lawn to death!! Come to the rescue by putting out a mild organic fertilizer within the next couple of weeks, and take care to water in the morning... but not too long. In addition, add some bright flowers to your beds to keep it looking alive and fresh. A little fertilizer, H2O, and color will ward off the dying, wilting, and browning effects of a long, hot summer!!
