"Landscape Additions has done several landscape projects for us. Jimmy spent the time to help me get exactly what I had visioned. He took me to the nursery and helped me hand pick all the plants for my backyard land scraping project. Jimmy and his crew are very professional, showing up on time and completing the job with no stress. Landscape Additions will do the same for you!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I cannot say enough good things about Vargas Home Improvement. They were always quick to respond, very polite, and their work speaks for itself. We wanted an additional set of stairs with a landing added to our back deck and they delivered above our expectations. They worked very hard and efficiently to get the job done and we are extremely impressed with the end result. From the time we reached out to Vargas for a quote to the time the job was done, everything about this experience was great. I will refer them to anyone and everyone in need of home improvement work. We are so thankful for their job well done! We can t wait to use them again for our future projects!"

"I’ve had such a great experience with JH Lawn Care! They recently installed our privacy fence, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The quality of the work is excellent, and the crew was professional, dependable, and paid attention to every detail from start to finish. I’ve also used them for lawn care, and they consistently do an amazing job keeping everything looking neat and well-maintained. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. If you’re looking for a company that’s reliable, hardworking, and delivers great results, I highly recommend JH for both fencing and lawn care services!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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.

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.
