handling hardscapes with wes novelli

What exactly is hardscaping though? Hardscaping is a term that refers to the hard structural aspects of yard design. This can range

from decks and walkways, to outdoor fireplaces, kitchens, living rooms and more. Whether a formal or informal living space is created, Novelli knows how to complement a home owner’s style and previous landscaping decisions. “Our main goal is to find out how much our customers intend to use the space, we then create their outdoor living area to be the most functional use of that space,” says Novelli.
The key to any design however, is balance. Balancing both textures, materials and colors is a complicated task. All three need to work harmoniously together, be visually appealing and complement the home’s preexisting exterior. Novelli says, “When planning a project, some
things I look for when choosing what materials to use are the color of the siding, whether it’s a wooded area or an open landscape and how much natural light is available.” When done correctly, hardscaping not only increases the value of the property, but improves the overall atmosphere and appearance of the home’s landscape.
When choosing hardscape features for your home, be sure to consider your main purpose for the addition. Are you looking to add an outdoor living space or a path to get from one area to another? Is the reason for your investment to enhance the property value of your home or for personal pleasure? Will the area be open to children or adults? All of
“Our reputation has been built on word of
mouth. We never leave a job until our customer is
completely satisfied.”-Wes Novelli
these factors, and many more, can play a vital role in deciding exactly what hardscaping feature is right for you.
Hardscaping requires planning and solid execution. Wes Novelli knows that quality and precision work are key to his business. Never settling for less then the best materials, Novelli knows how to achieve extreme transformations without the extreme costs. Serving the Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties, be sure to contact Hardscapes, Inc. before you begin planning your hardscaping project.
“I’m always available on my cell at any time—be sure to contact me for your next project.” 1

Sparkling, pristine, clear, blue - four words that
describe the perfect pool, though rarely attainable without proper maintenance. Below are some essential maintenance tips to make your pool the envy of the neighborhood.
Circulation: Not only is circulation key to helping your fi lters collect the debris they were designed to capture, but it is essential in minimizing the growth of bacteria and keeping your pool free of algae.
Filtration: If you ever had the misfortune of a broken fi lter, you know how

detrimental it was to your pool’s maintenance. The filter is one of the most important, and sometimes costly, pieces of equipment. The filter does your dirty work, it removes debris as well as most of the microscopic matter that floats around your pool. Keeping your filter maintained and backwashing the pool regularly will help maintain the life of your filter.
Cleaning: If your filter is working and your circulation is good, you might think your pool is staying clean. Unfortunately, most swimming pools have areas with little to no circulation. You may see lines begin to form around the pool at your water level, especially near stairs or
ladders. Brushing is recommended to keep algae from forming and spreading. Once a week, take a dip in your pool with a brush (dish washing brushes work well, just make sure you don’t stick it back in your sink) and scrub the walls as you swim around the edge. Who knew cleaning your pool would involve swimming in it!
Testing: Every pool, just like every person, has different characteristics and levels that need to be adjusted. Just as we get our blood checked, your pool needs to have its levels checked. The most important of these levels are the pH and chlorine. Testers are inexpensive and can be found at your local pool supply stores. Next time you are out in town, stop by and pick one up. Maintaining proper levels in your pool will help maintain the clarity and safety of your water.
The last step in perfect pool maintenance is knowing when and what to use. Applying the right products at the right time is essential in keeping your pool clean and clear. Keeping up with the maintenance will make your pool a safe and inviting place to spend those lazy summer afternoons. Don’t wait until your filter breaks or the water turns green to call a technician. If after following these simple steps you still have issues, call and have a professional take a look at your pool. A typical maintenance fee is a lot less then replacing a liner or a filter. 1
