The hot humid weather of August is not ideal planting weather as most of you know. This time of year many people are on vacation or in the air conditioned house to escape the MD/DC/VA humidity. Point being, that not a lot of you are thinking about your yards. Well start thinking about that hardscape project. This is ideal weather for us to construct that stone, brick or paver patio, steps, retaining wall, or outdoor fireplace.

During the dog days of summer most landscape firms are winding down current work and preparing for the fall planting season. Not here at EE, Inc as we continue to showcase our masonry work in the Virginia, Maryland and DC area. The interest in hardscaping has really taken off in the last few years as people realize the satisfaction they receive in having tasteful outdoor living and entertaining areas. More and more we find people investing in their homes and acknowledging the desire for a relaxing ‘staycation’ without the hassles of traveling.

Our team enjoys working with natural materials such as stone, flagstone, and boulders. Our in-house masons are superior craftsmen. They maintain current certification, yet they have an intuitive sense of design, form, and proportion. Whether you prefer rustic or elegant settings, we can help you get away from the world without ever leaving home. This is a perfect time to have those projects constructed and be ready for outdoor entertaining in the upcoming cooler weather.
