"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 FAQs, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

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 landscape edging tool depends on you and your needs. For homeowners who are looking for a budget-friendly edging material, plastic might be the best option for them. However, homeowners who want a low-maintenance option might opt for concrete or brick. Since there are loads of gardening edging ideas, decide what factors (maintenance, style, or budget) are most important to you to help you narrow your choices.
