"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

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls.
