"Ken and his team did a great job with a landscape project I've been holding off for about a year now. I had about 150 feet of dead blue pacific junipers on the side (slope) of my house that needed to be pulled out and new ones planted, 60 junipers total. Ken also pruned my crype myrtles, japanese maple, knockout rose bushes, sea-green junipers and pampas grass - these are not shrubs planted this spring but established shrubs for over 10 years, so not small by any means . The entire project looks amazing and I would hire Ken again for my next landscape project. Excellent communication throughout the process and the guys cleaned up well."

"Ken & crew are great workers and problem solvers. Installed sod in an area that was suffering from flooding and shade. . Prepped ground. Added dirt to low lying area that was flooding. Laid sod. Now runs off as it should. Also, down spout was throwing water to foundation. They installed a French drain, rain pipe along front of house to tie into another gutter down pipe, sending water underground to street behind house. All done creatively, quickly, and affordably. They do great work and stand by it. Will definitely use again."

"Chris and his team arrived on time in the A.M. - did the prep work, then laid the sod in the P.M. We found them to be very efficient, professional and definitely knowledgeable about their business. We now have one of the best looking lawns in the neighborhood. All our neighbors commented how nice the yard looks and we would highly recommend Chris. Its so nice to have grass again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

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.

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.
