"He started from a couple of ideas that I wanted in a pond and created the pond of my dreams. He added lights that I just love. We enjoy our pond during the day,but really love to sit at night and watch the Koi swim. We don't need to go on vacation to relax, we just go outside to be by the pond."

"Forever Lawn of Cedar Valley was one of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had the pleasure to appreciate. Mitch was great to work with- very responsive and professional. He communicated the features and benefits of his product and delivered great customer service as promised. His attention to detail was evident in everything that he did. Using this company for artificial turf was one of the best decisions that I have made in recent years. It is beautiful and adds so much to my back yard appearance!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

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.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.
