It depends on the work that you are needing done. If your work requires heavy equipment, then it is a very good possibility that your grass will be damaged. This is why our crew will build a temporary road out of 4×8 OSB sheeting to prevent any yard damage. This will be discussed with you prior to any machines being brought in. If you have existing grass it will not be effected by our decorative curbing machines. The grass in the area where the curb is laid is trenched to install your curbing. Out side that area the grass remains the same. We will be transferring concrete, mulch, rock etc. Using a motorized wheel barrow, which has large turf tires and don’t tear up the grass.
Absolutely! We love to hear your ideas! With our experienced hardscape/construction designer, You can expect clean, thought-out, functionality designs from one area to the next. Our hardscape designers have over 40 years combined experience Flow is extremely important and it’s the first thing you’ll notice when our team leaves your property.
We offer a 1 year warranty when dealing with concrete, however, you can expect concrete results. This means you may get Spider Cracks. Don’t worry, this is normal when dealing with concrete. Cracks are common when dealing with concrete anything. Our concrete cures stronger then your average concrete. We at Next Generation plan for the freeze/thaw period that Montana typically experiences. Any issues you will have will commonly occur in the first 48 hours. Do we worry about spider cracks? No, In fact one of my guarantees is that concrete cracks, but you need to be aware it. This is why my expert crew will cut in release cuts at all appropriate areas. If a crack forms and it’s more than a 1/4 inch wide (the size of 2 nickels), it is operator error and will be fixed. Cracks that occur due to vehicles, heavy mowers, natural occurrences such as tree roots, ground heaving, pets, kids, etc. will not be covered in our warranty.
All Sprinklers need to be marked with flags or spray paint. We are not responsible for damaged sprinklers if they are not marked. Please make sure your drive way, or area on street is clear of vehicles so we have room to park trucks and trailers. We can help with the marking of sprinklers if needed.
Yes we have a minimum footage. You must realize that a normal curbing crew is 3-4 men, with 2 trucks and a trailer with all the necessary equipment. We cannot travel across town and do 20 feet, a company would lose money on that. We currently have a 100 foot minimum, some other companies are lower but may have a smaller crew ect. Tree rings need to be large enough to handle growth over the years down the road and they are difficult and time consuming. We have a 25 foot minimum on tree rings which will give you at least a 6 foot diameter. We have a $1200 minimum for any project we do.
The question you should be asking is “why are their prices lower than Next Generation’s?” We set the standard for what Hardscape/Landscape/Construction should be. We have been trained by the best in the United States. We have traveled From North Dakota to Mississippi, to Arizona, to Montana to learn our multiple trades. We were even by the “Father of the Curbing Industry” himself! Other companies look at what we offer, and because they can’t meet this standard, they lower their prices to get your work. Its very simple, if you can’t offer what the best companies can, the your only other option is to lower your price.
