SPRING has SPRUNG! Get your home and garden ready

Spring in the Tonbo Meadow....Wilmington's first true low-impact development (LID)
At 7:02 a.m. this morning, Wednesday, March 20, the sun crossed directly over the Earth's equator during a moment known as the vernal equinox when both day and night are about equal -- also the official start of Spring! This means, it's time to start thinking about getting your home and garden prepped for the new season.
Here are a few tips from Fasse Construction to get your home and garden Spring ready!
EXTERIOR
- Inspect the roof for winter damage: leaks, missing or broken shingles or tiles.
- Clean gutters and downspouts. Check for leaks, misalignment, or damage.
- Check painted surfaces for flaking. Paint or touch-up exterior. How about a new color trim? Check siding for loose nails, damage, or rot. Power wash porches and decks to remove mildew and fungus.
- Make sure all doors and windows close and lock properly.
- Wash windows, put up screens and patch any holes. Check caulking around windows and doors. Re-caulk if necessary.
- Remove all debris from the yard. Clear dead foliage and weeds from flowerbeds, fertilize, and lay mulch.
- Begin spring landscaping projects. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, a simple project like a small wildflower garden will bring bliss and beauty to your home for the new season!
- Inspect, clean and repair outdoor furniture.
- Check for termites and insects-call exterminator if needed.
- Flush your hot water heater to remove accumulated sediment
INTERIOR
- Open windows to freshen and ventilate. Light a fresh linen candle…my go-to Spring scent for the home.
- Add Flowers! Head to the local farmer’s market or nursery and add some fresh color to your home. My spring faves are daffodils, tulips, daisies, and peonies.
- Clean and reorganize. Lighten your load and get rid of the things that clutter your living space. They don’t call it ‘Spring Cleaning’ for nothing!
- Flip your mattress and change your bedding. Put the heavy winter quilts and blankets away, and substitute with lighter colorful options. Wash pillowcases and curtains to reduce allergens and dander.
- Air out throw rugs and shampoo carpet.
- Look into ways you can make your home more energy efficient this Spring. This includes assessing light bulbs, weather strips, HVAC systems, and more.

Fasse Construction in the Wilmington Star News!
- Details
- March 17, 2013
Fasse Construction & Development, Inc. was featured in the Star News this morning! Pam Fasse discussed her infill developments Midori on 29th and Tonbo Meadow and their significance in the Wilmington area. With very little developable space left in Wilmington, this prompts more inward development strategies like Fasse’s. According to the article, only about 10-20 percent of the city is open for new development. In the past, the city had plans to grow by extending its boundaries, but changed annexation rules now emphasize inward growth, exemplified by Fasse Construction’s projects.
Tonbo Meadow, Fasse’s low impact infill development (LID) on Greenville Loop Rd. in Wilmington is now underway and the infrastructure is scheduled to be complete next month. This 14-lot development uses about 3 acres of land, which is being developed into eco-friendly semi-attached duplexes and triplexes to maximize the development potential with a green building approach.
Vertical construction should begin shortly after the infrastructure is complete, as several future residents are eager to call Tonbo Meadow their home by the end of the summer.
For more information on the push for infill developments in Wilmington NC, check out today's article in The Star News!

Future TONBO MEADOW site Demolition!
- Details
- March 05, 2013
The two older homes on the future Tonbo Meadow site were demolished yesterday and it was quite a site! This brings Fasse Construction just one step closer to developing Wilmington’s first low impact development (LID), Tonbo Meadow.
Tonbo Meadow takes an integrated systems approach to a healthy, comfortable, conservational home and community. Tonbo Meadow is a 14-lot family cluster development that will be on a 3+acre parcel off of Greenville Loop Road just south of Bradley Creek Elementary School. At the rear of the community there is a one-acre meadow park for the private use of those in the community as well as a communal recreation building. Termed Wilmington’s “Real Estate Gold Coast,’ the Greenville Loop area is known for its fair share of desirable new housing developments. Aside from the promise of an innovative, functional modern architectural design, what makes this development so unique is Fasse Construction & Development’s green development approach encouraging conservation and the use of on-site natural features to protect water quality.
It’s a concept prior to the development’s conception that has piqued the interest of green builders across the state and has forced the city to re-examine its own polices addressing low-impact development. It is beyond exciting and we are so pleased that half of the development has already been reserved before ground was broken on the site! To reserve a lot, or for more information, please call our office at (910) 679-4277. Let Fasse Construction help you find your perfect shade of green.
Tonbo Meadows Gains traction and Recognition...

- October 08, 2012
Both Wilmington's Greater Business Journal and Wilmington's City Technical Review Committee; have found Tonbo Meadows an anomaly to the standard "developer's directive of": maximum land usage for profit vs. Using the Land for what's best for the environment and the people who choose to live at Tonbo.
Tonbo Meadows is an ECO friendly development; in both habitat and plausible living. The property hosts aesthetic flower and rain gardens, a community food's garden, as well as open space with walking paths and wetlands area to both filter and sustain watershed on the property. Housing meets the needs and budgets alike of early retirees to young urban couples. With loft style living and zero lot lines, the home sites combine just over 20,000 square feet of vertical building construction with more than three acres or, 139,000 of total land area with a seven (7-1) to one (land to home) ratio!

HOW GREEN IS YOUR HOME?
- Details
- February 22, 2013
With all the hype about ‘going green’ these days, have you ever wondered just how green your home is?
As an eco-friendly builder and developer, Fasse Construction specializes in custom green homes in and around Wilmington, NC. The first step in our development process is finding out what our clients value most in their home/life, and just how green they would like their future custom home to be. We also consider what is most important to them as far as environmental/social impact, functionality, interior/exterior options, home atmosphere preference, and any additional customizable options that we hope will better serve their needs and lifestyle. With this in mind, it is often necessary to evaluate one’s current home and give it what we like to call a ‘green test.’ These are some of the things to consider:
~Windows and Doors- Air tightness and energy efficiency
~Insulation and Air Leaks
~Heating/Cooling/Hot Water Heater Assessment
~Examine Energy Bills- Throughout the course of a year
~Lighting and Large Appliances- Radiant heat and electricity
This article by Green Building.com gives a little more insight on some of the tests that may be necessary to evaluate your home and rate it on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) scale. It is important to keep in mind that most conventional homes have a HERS score near 100, while most near zero energy homes are at around a 20 on the scale. Most of the homes by Fasse Construction, normally rate around 53-55 on the HERS scale.
Fasse Construction & Development not only specializes in custom home building, but we also do remodels, upgrades, and energy consulting. The idea is to create a more harmonious and eco-conscious home, which in turn can save you up to 70% on your utility bills.

The Old Wrightsville Beach Fire Station/Ticket Office Just Got Way Cooler!
Fasse Construction & Development, Inc. has a swaggy new office in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. Just a few months ago, this small space was dark, dingy and in need of a serious attitude adjustment. Two coats of mustard paint, and people are already starting to get curious. Fresh white tile and walls on the interior offset the groovy mustard exterior, and the navy accent wall gives the office a classy, bold element, without being boring. I stand convinced that navy is the new black these days.
A treasure hunt through Wilmington’s vintage art district on Castle Street led me to one of my favorite spots, Projekte, where I fell in love with an awesome crushed velvet, mod, asymmetrical love seat to compliment our cozy little office/home away from home. Not only was this piece eye catching, flattering to the navy wall, and straight out of Austin Powers, but its’ green color is also reflective of Fasse Construction’s evolution to becoming the most unique green builder in the area.
Just one look at Pam Fasse’s homes, and it is clear we believe green living, functionality, and energy conservation can all be easy on the eyes. Stop in our new office, 5 Live Oak Drive Wrightsville Beach, NC and let us help you find your perfect shade of green
Midori in Lumina News

Midori on 29th was recently in the news as a model for sustainable, planet-friendly homes in the Wilmington area. As a part of their spotlight on Earth Day, the Lumina News spoke with architect Scott Ogden of B+O Design Studio about how homes in the Midori community are designed to lower energy costs and leave a small environmental footprint.
Scott explains that Midori homes are "a great example of how green features such as tankless water heaters, passive solar energy, Energy Star appliances and icynene spray foam insulation adds money to your pocket. The Healthy Built Home-rated residences produce electric bills in the $40-a-month range."
