"Bronze Star? More like GOLD Star! I contacted Mr. Ford the day previously and was told that he would meet me this morning to look at my yard and to give an exact quote. As per what he said, he showed up bright and early this morning and gave me a quote for our rather overgrown yard—our yard has been long, long overdue for a cutting due to a lack of mower avaliability. To my surprise, it was beyond affordable and far below what I would expect for such a messy yard. He excelled past my expectations and said well beyond them. Robert is a very courteous man—he is honest and treated myself and my grandfather with respect and dignity, something that our previous cutter did not do. All in all, Robert is an absolute pleasure to work with and without a doubt, someone I would highly, highly recommend to others!"

"Kinsley was a pleasure to do business with. Showed up on time when he said he would be there. Brought a ton of samples for my wife to pick from. I would highly recommend this business to anyone. His crew was very polite and professional. Treated my back yard like it was their own. Kinsley and his crew kept a clean work area from start to finish. 10/10 business"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Cedar Flats for a fencing project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, keeping us informed at each stage of the process. They completed the work right on schedule, showing impressive attention to detail and efficiency. Cedar Flats also offered competitive pricing without sacrificing quality, which made it a great value. The finished fence looks fantastic, and their workmanship truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Cedar Flats to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality fencing services. Thank you for a job well done!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

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.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.

Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.
