We had been contemplating some soft/hardscaping work to our front and rear yards that had been neglected for many years before we had bought our home. We followed the general real estate advice for a good investment by buying the house that needed work on a good street. This house had great bones, but everything was original and it clearly needed some tender loving care. We had a driveway that had asphalt crumbling, so much so it looked more like a gravel driveway, better than dirt I suppose! My front and rear lawns were a weed’s oasis, at least according to one neighbour that that had that perfect Scott’s green lawn. I was referred to Zeo and Eldin of Zedo Construction by a friend, they came out and discussed options with our budget in mind and came up with a plan to bring curb appeal back to this house! We re-did the driveway in asphalt, added a beautiful tumbled stone walkway down the side of the house and around to the back deck, added new garden beds, with plants and trees, added cedar mulch to the garden beds, new sod and accented the front ditch by the street with river rock. They also did a wonderful job installing stone to the front porch which gave it a rich look. All in all, I would highly recommend them, they were easy to work with, fit out budget, and did outstanding work, we are so so proud of the curb appeal of our house now! To add more bang for our buck, I recently read that landscaping is in third place behind kitchens and bathrooms for the best value investment to do to a house. Thanks guys we can’t wait for this summer to enjoy our retreat!
