  • The better insulated your home is, the less money you'll spend heating it. Find out
  • more about different types of insulation, including draught-proofing, double glazing, and insulation for lofts and walls. 
  • Loft insulation is effective for at least 40 years, and it will pay for itself over and over again in that time - in an uninsulated home a quarter of your heat is lost through the roof. Save that waste and reduce your heating bills now!

  • Cavity wall insulation is so cost effective that it will pay for itself over and over again. A third of all the heat lost in an uninsulated home goes through the walls - insulating your cavity walls can save you up to £135 a year on your fuel bills.
  • Insulating your solid walls could cut your heating costs considerably, because they let through up to twice as much heat as cavity walls. They can be insulated from the inside or the outside.
  • nsulating under the floorboards on your ground floor will save you around £60 a year, and you can seal the gaps between floors and skirting boards to reduce draughts too.
  • Draught-proofing is often overlooked - but it’s one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to save energy (and money!) in any type of building. 
  • Energy-efficient glazing – double glazing, triple glazing or secondary glazing – keeps your home warmer and quieter as well as reducing your energy bills.

    This difficult project located in Windham was quite a job. Interstate Landscape started with the removal of an old deteriorating timber wall. The homeowner wanted to create more living space in their back yard so after the wall was removed we excavated back 8ft of the hillside and removed about 120 yards of fill. When we were excavating we ran into three large patches of ledge that had to be removed. We then jack hammered and removed the ledge making way for the preparation of the base of the new wall. Once the base was completed, construction of the segmental retaining wall began. In total 400 face feet of three and six inch Highland Stone Earth Blend was used to construct the wall. After the wall was completed, base prep and installation of 800 square feet of Genest Baxter and Acadia stone pavers were used to construct two patios and connecting walkways. A Genest Windsor Block fire pit with metal liner was also constructed in one of the patios. The patio and walkway areas were lined with 400 lineal feet of Rinox Belmont Border. To top the project off 900 square feet of sod from Tuckahoe Turf was installed. This was a tough and challenging job but we feel the end result looks great!
