"C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service did a fantastic job in my backyard. They worked within my budget. My planting beds were cleaned out, weed barrier installed and new succulents planted. They worked with me on design and planting. They also re-installed stairs to allow access into my canyon lot. Finally they installed a retaining wall to support my mature sycamore tree that is on a slope and also terraced above the tree on the slope. The workmen were efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend this business for your landscaping needs.1"

"What a pleasure to work with a professional. Various conversations about types of sod, decorating, costs and time estimates. Suggested things I would have not thought of, I was going to buy a plant for the corner of the lawn, he said he would pick one up, was perfect. Color and type to do all I wanted. He was on time every morning. Was respectful and friendly with my dogs. I joked with Wes and said that when I came home I walked out front to check the address because the backyard was so BEAUTIFUL. Thank you Wes and Boney's Landscape for an incredible job. You are highly recommended."

"Kyle at Boulder Landscapes was great from beginning to end. When he came to provide the estimate he was full of ideas providing multiple possibilities for plants and trees. He gave us a vision for the project and then executed it perfectly. We were so happy with the work that we extended our project and had he and his crew do more work. Not only was Kyle great but crew was also friendly and professional. They worked hard and efficiently. I couldn’t recommend a company more!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

A rock garden can last indefinitely as long as you properly maintain it. Whether solely made of rocks or with greenery incorporated, they generally last a while, though it may vary based on your climate.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.
