"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

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.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
