Tina Anderson-King

TO PLANT A garden is to believe in tomorrow

Effingham Magazine set out to find a beautiful garden in the community to showcase in our 2021 Home & Garden issue. We received several nominations, but one gardener—Tina AndersonKing—really stood out.

A Guyton resident since 2014, Tina gained her love of gardening from her grandmother and has spent more than 50 years “digging in the dirt.”

Tina does all of her lawn and garden work herself. From weed eating, edging, and tending to the flowers, she loves being outdoors and connecting with nature and God’s creations.

A mother of two sons—Bret Anderson of Effingham County and Bryan Anderson of Atlanta—Tina finds gardening very therapeutic. She feels closer to God in the garden more than anywhere else. “I love gardening,” she says, “It’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.”

“It’s not important who does the planting or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seeds grow.” Tina says.

We hope you enjoy seeing Tina’s beautiful garden as much as we did!

If you know Beau Dossey, you know a hard-working, honest, family man not afraid to get his hands dirty or break a sweat. Following in the footsteps of 5-Star Rated his brother, uncle, and dad, Beau Dossey is a third-generation roofer, spending many summers and hours after school working in the industry. In 2010, Beau took the leap and founded Beau Dossey Roofing.

Beau and his highly experienced team of local experts take pride in offering quality craftsmanship at a fair price. They enjoy helping their customers, and Beau pays attention to detail, supervising every job big or small. While his typical work is complete roof replacements, Beau will repair a roof instead of telling a homeowner they need a whole new one when they don’t. This customer-focus attitude and honesty is what sets his company apart.

WHAT HOMEOWNERS NEED TO KNOW:

Debris Removal – During the fall and winter months, debris accumulates on the roof with the potential to cause shingle and roof deterioration. It is important to remove old wet leaves, branches and other debris to prevent damage to your roof.

Regular Roof Check Ups & Storm Preparation – Having your roof checked periodically ensures you won’t have an unexpected leak or damage that can turn into a larger problem later. Storm season is coming. Is your roof ready?

Lower Insurance Rates – Homeowner insurance rates are better for new roofs. Older roofs often have more damage during storm season, potentially requiring homeowners to file claims. Insurance companies often reward homeowners who invest in new roofs by lowering rates.
