"Since the beginning Pierce Landscaping was very responsive and on time. They provided debris removal service that included debris cut to grade, weeds and bamboo removal. Grass and bushes were trimmed and also aerated my front yard With Seed & Fertilizer. The team was very professional and I was very happy with they work!"

"I had a great experience with Greenstone Gardens to install a small paver wall along the walkway to my house. Mark was so easy to work with. He worked around my schedule to provide an estimate, discussed the project with me, provided a very reasonable estimate, scheduled and performed the work promptly. Our wall is a vast improvement on what it was and I would be happy to recommend Greenstone Gardens to friends and family."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

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.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. 

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

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.
