"These guys are pros.  Tom said they'd be out on a given week, even called up a few days prior to ask permission to move the equipment onto our property a day or two early so that they could get started ASAP.  The work was estimated to the exact number of days needed, and the hydroseeding managed to hold up despite a TORRENTIAL downpour 36 hours after the treatment.
They handled our requests and a few minor setbacks like pros (a piece of equipment failed on them, but they just chugged right along), and in the end came in just shy of their estimate! 
As the president of my Home Owner's Association, not only will I be using them again when I need them, but I'll be recommending them to the neighborhood!

"Tom came to my home and gave us an estimate for work to be performed. His team arrived on the agreed upon day and did an amazing job in cleaning up our yard. There was years of debris to be cleared away, and leaves to be removed as well. Tom's team were knowledgable and polite. I couldn't be more pleased with Tom, his crew and the work they completed!"

"They were prompt on time and kept me informed of their schedule. It took 2 days to complete the work which was fine the only thing I had an issue was they didn't clean my sidewalks from the debris. But, other than that I would consider them again for any future tree or landscaping project. Thanks as this was a big help. The price was reasonable."

"Alex removed our existing concrete patio, installed a paver patio, and rebuilt a stone wall. He and his crew were courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, paying great attention to detail. Alex was also very accommodating, meeting us at a stone yard to help pick out materials. We highly recommend Alex Masonry and would definitely hire them again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.
