Staring out your back window as the wind howls and the snow piles up, you take another pull on that steaming hot cup of coffee. Separated by a few panes of glass, you look past the frozen tundra and seemingly endless drifts accompanied by their frigid temperatures. You envision spring, sharing laughter and a cold one with friends on your beautifully landscaped patio, in your beautifully landscaped yard, on a beautiful, picturesque day. You blink. It’s still snowing. The wind is still blowing and it’s still miserably cold out. Cue the moose. On the bright side, however, the outdoor living space that you imagine and yearn for can become a reality with the expertise provided by Stone Creek Landscaping and Construction.
Proprietor Phil Bentivenga is no stranger to transforming underused or outdoor living spaces that have seen better days into desirable gathering spots that are both spacious and visually appealing. Starting out in the family business Frank and Sons, in neighboring Illinois, he has taken his 30-plus years of experience and brought that to Northern Indiana including the local Great Lakes area, Bass, Koontz, and Maxinkuckee, through Stone Creek Landscaping and Construction.
“I get involved personally with a project because I enjoy it,” he says. Using his expertise and hands-on approach, Bentivenga can convert your outdoor area to a place that beckons you to come relax and enjoy.
When not out in the field, he can give the property owner an estimate for their project, be it a redesign or new construction. If you desire to landscape just a portion, or your whole property, Stone Creek can accommodate your individual needs.
With the ability to keep many details in-house, along with the use of quality and reliable suppliers providing items such as mulch and stone, one can be assured that a project will be completed in a timely and economical manner. In addition to traditional forms of landscaping such as the use of trees, plants, mulch, shrubs and other forms of foliage, Stone Creek can transform your property through the use of hardscaping. Garden pathways, retaining walls, patios, and custom fire pits using stone or rock, are just some examples of ways to extend your indoor living space to the natural settings that the great outdoors can provide. Using quality, name-brand popular products such as Unilock, and methods such as fabric underlayments before stonework, help to ensure longevity.
Other offerings provided by Stone Creek are underground sprinkler systems and landscape lighting. In addition to increasing the value of your home, an underground sprinkler system conserves water and contributes to a vibrant and healthy lawn. With water being monitored and provided on a set schedule, the correct areas and amounts are regulated. Hoses, the tripping hazards and eyesores that they are, become a thing of the past.
Besides enhancing the facade of your home, outdoor lighting has supplemental assets. Through the use of strategic planning and the deliberate placement of lighting, the security of your home is increased, along with the provision of a warm and pleasing ambiance, both which help to provide a welcome home atmosphere.
In addition to landscaping, Stone Creek can also accomplish the remodeling projects that you need or aspire to. Replacement construction for your kitchen or bath, as well as custom construction if desired, are some of the areas they specialize in. Cabinetry, flooring and countertops can be replaced or upgraded, making the company your one-stop for remodeling necessities. Bathroom makeovers and renovations are other areas that Stone Creek is well-versed in. From the shower and tub to tiles and lighting, your bath area can be transformed into the one that you have been longing for.
When the inclination to have the landscape or backyard that you’ve wanted for so long kicks in, or when you finally want to tackle that remodeling project that has been put off time and time again, look no further than Stone Creek Landscaping and Construction for assistance. Their knowledge, quality and competence will provide you with a job well-done and peace of mind.
