Welcome to St Charles neighbor ! You have begun a journey that will surpass your expectations. Our "punch list" still contains the replace flooring entry as we just moved in mid-May. Can't help you there. However, we just finished our landscaping project ( a few tweaks yet to do) and that was a chore picking a contractor, going over plans and all that is associated. I will assure you of one thing you can't rush that process, just search TOTV here on landscaping and do your home work until you are satisfied. The largest advertiser or best sales technique may not be where you want to settle. There are a lot of folks out there, in a wide price range, and capabilities. We settled on Villages Palms and are very satisfied with their design and presentation. We have a huge corner lot (Baldwin Run) so they had a lot of real estate to work with. Our phase two is going to include a pergola, pavers, etc. Wanted to do it in a couple of chunks to avoid mis-cues which we had in some of the other decisions we rushed in to. Baldwin Run is a crazy street to describe, there are two cul de sacs and two corners. Our corner is the closest to the golf course (across street). Drive by and stop in.

Surprised you found a pre-owned in St Charles, we are a very new village.

Again, Welcome.
