Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>

Q: What landscaping projects have the highest ROI?

• <div><p>Landscaping projects with high returns on investment include adding decks and patios, installing walkways, adding irrigation or outdoor lighting systems, and building outdoor kitchens. Even general landscape maintenance can be a good investment&mdash;a well-maintained lawn boosts your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and can add value when it comes time to sell.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare my lawn for xeriscaping?

• <div><p>If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.</p></div>

Q: How far should metal edging be from the ground?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t stay in place.</p></div>

Q: What is the rule of thumb for planting trees?

• <div><p>Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting. </p></div>

Angus was knowledgeable, did a thorough comprehensive breakdown of the project before anything was agreed to, which I appreciated. The work was impeccable and done quickly. The pricing was honest and fair. Couldn't ask for more.

This fence has been a gamechanger. We will feel secure knowing our puppy is safe exploring in the yard and won't be running after cars or people going by.

They did a great job on my lawn. It took awhile for them to finish due to the rain, but they told me that up front. Very Friendly and helpful.

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
