"He did a really good job and I was very happy with his work.  He was on time and very professional.  I would highly recommend him to others and will probably have him back out to clean up my yard again next spring."

"They were 1 of the 2 companies suggested. Reached out to both and only S&C responded. The young man called back with in a few hours, came to the house, gave us a estimate. We thought that was a fair price and hired him on the spot. This young man did a wonderful job, gave us the backyard we loved and it only took him 2 days to clear a severly over grown yard and to clean up a large tree that fell. He worked by himself, in the heat and never complained. He was always pleasant, smiling and very courteous. I would hire this young man again as he has a great work Ethics. On a scale of 1 to 10 ,he rates a 20 in my book. Will refer him to family and friends with no hesitation."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

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.

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.

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’t stay in place.
