"Rough Terrain Landscapes did a great job with my barren landscape. We needed privacy from a neighbors home, while bringing in greenery to our lot, and also trim down some burned trees. Jesse sent a detailed proposal for the tree planting layouts and varieties suited for the weather before starting on the project. Would definitely recommend and hire again for other landscaping needs."

"Andres was awesome! I called for an estimate and he came out the same day. We went over what I wanted and he made suggestions to help reduce the price. The suggestion he made also gave more character to the back yard along with saving money. He started the work the day after the estimate, poured and stamped the concrete, laid artificial turf and decorative rock in 3 day. I am very very happy with the job. His crew worked very hard and all were very nice. I am more than pleased with the experience of working with Andres!!"

Truly an amazing crew of well seasoned professional landscapers. They also are mowing and edging my lawn and charge very reasonable & affordable prices. I highly recommend them for all your landscaping needs!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

Professional lakefront landscaping addresses environmental factors such as water level fluctuations, erosion control, and native plant suitability. Regular maintenance includes pruning, fertilization, and ensuring drainage systems function well.

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.
