"Drive way was compacted and over grown with grass, weeds, and allowing water into the garage. Had a hill on one side of the house lower against the foundation, getting water in basement. Needed a patio to replace the rotted deck and allow my dog run. Did a great job, hired to rejuvenate and gravel driveway which looks awesome, remove hill along side of house place dirt against house and leave a swell between property to not cause an issue for my neighbor, much dryer in the basement, removed what was left of my rotted deck to put in a patio sloped away from the house. Was too hot for me but they showed up and got everything done quicker than I thought it would be. Very happy I was able to hire them"

"I needed some regrading done in my back yard. Brian came out and quoted the project in detail. Others just quoted a total cost, which left me with concerns about the details. We had lots of rain, this year, so he did all he could to minimize damage to the yard going from the street to the back yard. The results are great! back yard is much gentler slope, and easy to mow now. I definitely recommend Galt Hexagon for grading/regrading work."

"He is an excellent worker. My yard always looks very, very nice. He is prompt and friendly. He is the groundskeeper for 37 rental properties in this area, so I had seen his work. He has all of his own tools and mowers. I have not been disappointed. He is a single dad and is very conscientious. He really went over and above."

"Good. I just do not know how to make connect with Kearney via your website so I can get set up with them? I do not have a smartphone so I could not pay them via that method but I have never paid any other contractor that way either. Usually they just do the work and bill you, you withdraw the funds and pay them for me. How do I get setup like this with Kearney?"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

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 tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.
