"Jeff installed a paver walkway and also installed a stone border for our flower garden, and added plants. He was a pleasure to work with, had great suggestions and is very knowledgeable about plants and landscaping. I strongly recommend Jeff and plan to hire him again on future projects."

"We highly recommend DYG Landscaping! Daniel is thorough in his quotes. He actually comes out to measure and evaluate the job versus trying to save time and do through pictures like other companies wanted us to do. I was impressed by his honesty; he did not try to sell us products that we did not need (some sod areas did need a little top soil and others did not). He is very professional, has competitive prices and has excellent customer service. Daniel responds to questions quickly. He and his crew show up on time, work hard, do beautiful work, are respectful of property, clean up, and have the proper equipment. We have had Daniel and his crew do sod installation 2 times (one time 2 1/2 pallets were installed in 3 areas of our yard {one side of house, a section near top of driveway, and a difficult area around a tree in front yard} and most recently 10 pallets in our back yard). Not just supervising the installation, Daniel actually works with the crew for the whole job. All sod areas have grown and done well. Each service/interaction was equally as good as the first. We would not hesitate to hire him again."

"Dennis was knowledgeable about the product and made sound recommendations for our project. He delivered the project on time and on budget - it was a pleasure working with him. The only reason I graded a 4.0 and not a 5.0 on work quality was really not a reflection on Dennis' quality of work, but rather the fact that the turf was only available in 15' widths, which created "seam-stripes" in the turf - these are supposed to become less obvious over time. We are really satisfied with the appearance overall and would recommend Dennis highly."

"My yard backs up to a wildly overgrown area that spills into my yard from all sides, including vines stretching across the yard and a partially damaged fence line. It's not something I could manage on my own or even get to a point where I could try to get it under control without more professional help. Bill's Yard & Odd Job Service worked within my budget to handle the upkeep quickly and put together a monthly quote to help keep it contained."

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.

Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

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.
