"I normally maintain my own lawn, but with all of the rain in recent days my yard has been too wet to mow. I'm leaving on 06/16 for a 7 day vacation and needed one time service within 24 hours. Mr. Peterson contacted me quickly and I explained my situation. He said he could get out that same day. We initially spoke at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon and he was pulling up to my home at 6:30pm. He was courteous, quoted a fair price and did a fabulous job. My next door neighbor was so impressed that she asked him if he could mow her back yard and although it was late Mr. Peterson took the time to when I'm sure he'd had a long day. I was very impressed by this young man and his work ethic. Although this was a one time service if I ever needed any type of lawn care I would definitely use him again and will recommend him to anyone! A very enthusiastic 5 stars!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

In addition to aloe vera and lilac, other effective humidity-reducing plants include peace lilies, Boston ferns, English ivy, spider plants, and lucky bamboo. These plants thrive in humid environments and can naturally lower moisture levels. Place them in areas prone to dampness for the best results.

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.
