"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

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

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.
