Work Warmer, Not Harder

Snow, ice, hail, polar vortex?  Winter weather throws plenty of surprises your way.  No matter the temperature, there are paths, parking lots, and driveways to clear.  Here are some helpful tips and reminders for staying safe as you work hard during the winter season.

Stay Warm

• Layer.  A good coat is no substitute for insulating layers.  If you’re outside for prolonged periods of time, consider wearing two pairs of socks - at least one pair made of wool - with your boots.
• Protect Your Heat-Loss Zones.  Don’t leave your head or neck exposed.  These areas of your body lose heat the fastest, dropping your core body temperature overall.
• Sacrifice Dexterity.  If you don’t need your fingers loose, opt for mittens instead.  If you go back and forth between the two, consider wearing a pair of mittens over your gloves and only removing them when necessary.

Stay Aware

• Watch Your Toes.  The effects of the cold are first experienced in peripheral appendages, like your fingers and toes.  Pay attention when those start to tingle!
• Know Your Risk Factors. The risk of frostbite and hypothermia increases with certain factors, including age, previous circulation problems, a recent injury or blood loss, or chemicals such as alcohol, nicotine, or beta-blocker medication.
• Check the Weather.  The rate of over-exposure is affected by a number of environmental factors.  If you have a choice in your day or time to do labor outside, monitor the temperature, wind chill, and humidity.

Stay Safe

• Remove Wet Clothes.  Even damp socks can have a negative affect!  Wet clothes can speed up your heat loss.  When you get inside, remove any wet or damp clothing for something dry and warm.
• Pay Attention to Your Body.  Mild frostbite can be seen in blanching of the skin or a prolonged redness out of the ordinary.  As over-exposure worsens, frostbite freezes and crystallizes fluid within tissue, damaging blood vessels and leading to clotting.  If your fingers or toes are discolored after time outside, don’t ignore it.
• Re-Warm Gradually.  If you notice an area with mild or more severe frostbite, use warm - not hot! - water in the area.  Depending on the severity of the frostbite, swelling, itching, burning, or even pain can occur.

From your friends at Fox River Stone - stay warm, stay aware, stay safe!

Tips on Marketing Your Landscaping Business

Getting a business started is an incredible achievement, but there is still plenty of hard work yet to come. Now, you need to make sure that you effectively spread the word on who you are and what you do. This is where marketing comes into play. Marketing your landscaping business is crucial to your success—building awareness for your brand will bring new customers into your door, allowing your business to grow both in the quantity and quality of staff and in service offerings you can provide your clients.

Starting a marketing strategy for your business can be intimidating, especially if you are a novice at this. But your expert team at Lafarge Fox River Stone knows how you can build a powerful marketing strategy in a digital age. Here are some budget friendly ways to get your marketing tactic started!

Know Where to Spend Your Advertising Dollars

While it may be tempting to make a television advertisement, a radio commercial, or even a billboard advertisement when you first open your business, these marketing strategies are often costly, especially if you are just starting out.

Instead, be a visible presence in the real world. This can come in a variety of forms—have your logo and business phone number on the vehicle you drive, print and pass out business cards, send postcards or newsletters to potential clients. These strategies can get you face to face with your clients.

Have an Active Online Presence

We live in a world where everything happens online—so why wouldn’t your business be a powerful presence online as well?

Apart from building a solid website, when you are just starting your landscaping business, we highly recommend you become an active user on common and popular social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and even Pinterest! Post updates about your business on a regular basis to build a solid fan base.

Also, never forget the powerful impact an online review can have. Encourage customers to go online and review your business. If it’s a positive review, acknowledge it on other online channels and spread the word that you are doing good things! If a dreaded (and rare) negative review occurs, address it properly, and let it be known to other clients that you are listening to their needs. This will bring business in the door!

Exploring the Ins and Outs of an Illinois Landscaping Business

Owning and operating a landscaping business has many benefits. The freedom of having control over your schedule and the pride of knowing that you created something using your skills are just a couple of these benefits. Here in the State of Illinois, there are rules and regulations put in place to protect the consumer and ensure that the landscaping business is held to a predetermined set of standards. If you are considering starting a landscaping business in Illinois, here are some things you should know.

Define your business

The first thing you need to consider is the type of landscaping services you will be offering. Under the Illinois Landscape Architect Act of 1989,  if you provide any type of landscape planning and architectural services, you must have a licensed landscape architect employed on your staff. Becoming licensed requires passing a state examination and providing proof of education in the field of landscape architecture.

If you provide general landscape maintenance, the State of Illinois does not require a specific licensing; however some local communities require all landscaping businesses to obtain licensure if they work within their local jurisdiction. Additionally, they may require the business to provide proof of liability insurance as well as being bonded.  If you are unsure about the requirements for the community in which your business operates, contact the city or county clerk to get additional input.

Tax registrations

Any business operating within Illinois that provides goods or services for sale must apply for the appropriate tax collection registrations. There are different tax rules depending upon if you sell products, provide a service or offer a combination of both. Be sure to talk to a tax professional if you are unsure of what is required for your business processes.

Employees

Hiring employees adds another level of legal complexities. If you have employees on your payroll, the first step is to apply for a Federal Employer Identification Number.  In addition, the State of Illinois requires businesses who will hire employees to register with the Department of Employement Security (IDES) within 30 days of the start of the business. Your company is also required to file quarterly returns with the IDES and pay unemployment contributions.

At Lafarge Fox River Decorative Stone, we are fortunate provide high quality landscaping products to competent landscape contractors across the State of Illinois. 

Fall Landscape Survival Tips: Beyond the Plants and Trees

The beauty and cooler weather of fall has many landscape owners thinking about how to tidy up their plants and preserve them over the winter. But the hardscape elements in the landscape also need preparation for the changing seasons in order to prevent damage, and to keep them looking their best. Although hardscaping seems permanent because it is fixed in the landscape, it can deteriorate over time without proper maintenance. Likewise, irrigation systems and the soil in your landscape need some basic maintenance, as well! A few simple tips show that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Inspect Hardscaping

Fall is a good time to inspect the stone features in your landscape. Pay special attention to any cracks in bricks, walls, and stone pathways. The cold temperatures of winter will only exacerbate these cracks and make them more difficult to repair next year. If you live in a region that receives snowfall, water freezing and thawing in these openings will damage and weaken the stone even more. Sealing small cracks will go a long way towards avoiding having to replace hardscaped elements.

Check the dirt and gravel around the hardscaping. If there are depressions where it has washed or worn away around walkways, walls, and other stone features, fill them before winter sets in, as cool temperatures, spring rains, and thaws can contribute to further erosion.

Soil

Fall is a good time to test the acidity and alkaline levels of the soil in your landscape, especially if you didn’t get around to it during the busier spring planting and fertilizing months. Remember to stop fertilizing late in the summer, in order to discourage new growth that will be too delicate for the colder months. However, fall mulching is fine--you can even make your own by finely chopping up dead leaves in your lawn mower! Use a kit to test the pH level in your soil, and use sulfur or lime to adjust it before winter.     

Irrigation Systems

If you have an irrigation system in your landscape, turn it off when temperatures are in danger of dipping below freezing. Drain any existing water remaining in the irrigation system. Freezing and expanding in the pipes can ruin them over the winter.

Fall Planting

Can’t get enough of planting? Fall can be a good time for some new plants to take root in a landscape, and with so many tempting plants on clearance at lawn and garden stories, it’s hard to resist adding some extra color, or something new!

How To Care For Your Hard Landscape

A well-designed outdoor space is the perfect place to relax with family and friends. Unfortunately, a stunning landscape takes hard work and regular maintenance. Over time, a landscape succumbs to the harsh elements of weather and human interaction. In order to keep your hardscapes protected and flourishing for years to come, LaFarge Fox River Stone has put together some basic tips for caring for your hardscapes.

Tidy Up Hardscapes

Are you taking care of your hardscapes on a regular basis? We recommend routine cleaning of pavers including sweeping, absorbing spills right when they happen, periodic washing, replacing sand or filling between bricks as needed. Rake runaway gravel back into the appropriate spots for both safety and convenience.  Make sure your walkways have not shifted from weather and be sure to add gravel to any depressions in the pathway.  With plenty of determination and upkeep, your landscape will be looking better than ever!

Proper Maintenance

Like any other aspect of your landscape, a hardscape needs the proper tools and solutions to thrive. Firstly, avoid sandblasting and acid cleaners as a form of cleaning. Before you try just any cleaning solution, test it out on a small piece of your hardscape and wait for desired results. Additionally, you will want to protect your hardscapes with a sealer. Sealing pavers after they are cleaned helps maintain cleanliness and repel future stains. If you already have sealing on your hardscape we recommend sanding to remove the remnants before applying a new coat.

Prepare the Garden

Prepare your lawn by cleaning up the dead leaves, damaged foliage and weeds from your garden. Now is a great time to prune your plants and make sure the greenery around your hardscapes is in order. Did you know that the sealing on hardscapes inhibits the growth of weeds, moss, mold, insect infestation and more? Sealing put in place now can mean a big difference in the appearance of your landscape over the next year!

Located in South Elgin, Illinois, LaFarge Fox River Decorative Stone is your one-stop-shop for masonry, landscaping, concrete pavers, fire pits, retaining walls, ponds, and more! The experts at LaFarge Fox River can help you navigate our large selection of water based and solvent based sealing products that will keep your hardscapes looking fresh.

How to Create a Beautiful Hardscape

Hardscaping your yard is a wonderful way to add personal touches to your property. It is also an excellent way to prevent erosion and incorporate steep slopes or hills into your landscape. Here are a few things to consider when planning your hardscape for an end result you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

• Create a plan – Before beginning any landscaping project, it is crucial to have a detailed plan.  Consider how the hardscape will impact drainage as well as any plans you might have for future expansion. Your initial plan should not inhibit future projects but should offer opportunities to expand upon a well thought out design. 
• Blend with other projects – If this hardscape is an addition to an existing feature, be sure that you are able to blend the two so that there is no disruption in the flow of the design. It is important to remember, however, that you do not need to match the materials from one design to the next, but rather aim to create a proper harmony between the spaces.
•  Do not fail to prepare – Preparing the base of your hardscape is crucial to the final outcome. Create a firm foundation in which to build your project.
• Create highlighted areas - Use unique plants, distinct structures or focal points such as fountains, fire features or garden ornaments. This allows you to highlight particular areas of your design.
• Consider the end user – Take some time to think about who will be using the space. A hardscape design for empty nesters might be significantly different than one for a young family.
•  Create unity among hard and softscapes – Consider visual planes when selecting plants. Think about the overhead view, the vertical view as well as the ground view. Use similar shapes and structure in your garden to add to the continuity of the view.
•  Think about the small details – In addition to the visual details, consider the scents of the plants in your landscape as well as the sounds of your hardscape design (water features, wind chimes, etc.).

When in doubt, contact the experts at Lafarge Fox River Stone to help you create the hardscape of your dreams. We have been serving both homeowners and businesses in the Elgin and surrounding Illinois area since 1934 with a wide range of decorative stones and landscaping products!

Manufactured Stone vs. Natural Stone

For consumers, there are a lot of options out there when it comes to stone veneers. It’s more than just different colors and styles, though - they also have a choice between manufactured stone and natural stone. Manufactured stone, also known as cultured stone, is a product made from cement meant to look like natural stone. The "stones" are made thin and applied to the exterior wall with a thin coating of mortar. The benefit of this thinner, cultured stone is a slightly lower price point and a large space-saving capacity.

The history of cultured stone dates back to the mid 20th century, when people were looking for an alternative to heavy, costly natural stone. These first manufactured stone units were a good deal lighter than real stone, eliminating the need and expense of special footings and support. However, in the beginning this product was a poor substitute for real stone veneer due to unrealistic surface texture, color, and frequent pattern repeats that was easily spotted by an untrained eye. Since then, manufactured stone has come a long way as companies developed better methods such as hand-painting each piece and casting their molds from real stone units. (source)

So what are the key differences between manufactured and natural stone? Read on to learn the pros and cons of each:

Manufactured:

• Uniform, clean look
• Fit tightly together, smooth surface
• Easy to lay
• Sturdy in retaining walls
• Many color options

• More susceptible to fading than natural materials
• Less of a high-end look

Natural:

• Colors and textures may vary from batch to batch
• Irregular shapes, may be gaps

• Great in water features and used to slow down erosion
• Beauty of natural stone lasts a lifetime (no fading)
• Organic, natural look
• High-end look, aesthetically pleasing

If a homeowner is struggling between the two, it’s important as a contractor to let them know they truly can’t go wrong with either choice. Based on the above information, you should be able to better ascertain if their project would benefit more greatly by manufactured or natural stone. If you have any further questions, our knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you. Contact Lafarge Fox River Decorative Stone today!

Join Lafarge Fox River Stone For Our Informative Water Feature Event

Water features are a great way to beautify any garden.  One of the best and most tranquil of landscaping accents are fountains and water falls.  If you own a home, a stunning water feature is a great way to boost your home’s value and beautify your garden.  If you own a commercial property, a fountain will improve the overall appearance of your business.

The type of fountain you choose can enhance, balance and completely change the look of your outdoor area.  At Lafarge Fox River Decorative Stone, we will be holding an event on June 9th for contractors to learn more about the water fountains we supply.

This is an opportunity for Lafarge to showcase the installation and display of the simple water fountains that are available from our team.  The premise of this event is to show contractors who do not currently offer ponds to their clients how the installation of these features can be an easy and profitable add-on sale to any existing landscaping job!

Attention contractors!  Did you know gross profit margins for these types of jobs are typically 40-60%?  Contractors normally already have the equipment on site necessary to complete a simple water feature.  For example, if they are installing a patio, all that’s required is digging an extra hole, setting the feature, attaching a few pieces of plumbing and adding decorative rocks for aesthetic design. With little installation and product costs, this is an overall profit for your business.

Our event on water features will be a great learning opportunity for contractors to strengthen the knowledge it takes to install everything from a simple water feature to more complex water systems.  Are you an owner or contractor interested in learning more? Stop by Lafarge Fox River Stone on June 9th at 5pm or give us a call at 847-888-6133.  We are conveniently located at 1300 S. Route Business 31 in South Elgin.
