"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."

"Austin was terrific to work with. Communications was great and he came up with a landscape design that corrected a lot of poor landscaping in the past and dramatically improved drainage, safety and curb appeal of the house. His crew managed to do all the work in a single day. They knocked down old hardscape, regraded, added a boulder retaining wall and huge stepping stones to create an inviting walkway to the front door. New perimeter plantings and anchor trees really frame the house and increased its value far above the cost of the project."

"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

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.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
