"I phoned for a follow up visit and he didn't show up at the designated time. I wanted to discuss the possibility of putting in sod as the seeding doesn't seem to work in a particular area. I don't think the guy is a professional landscaper, but rather a student in an unrelated field."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

Yes, installing professional landscaping can increase the value of your home by 7% on average. Increasing your home’s curb appeal can help it sell faster. Some landscaping projects may also help you get a higher sale price for your home. Certain kinds of landscaping, like planting trees or bushes, can help increase the privacy of your home and reduce noise from neighboring homes or traffic.

The best way to add value to your home is by making your lawn look more attractive. This alone can come with an ROI of over 200%. Routine lawn maintenance, like edging, weed whacking, and mulching, can provide an ROI of slightly more than 100%. Upgrading your front walkway and planting trees can also have a big impact on value compared to the cost. Outdoor lighting, fire pits, decks, and patios have below a 100% ROI in most cases, but they can improve the enjoyment of your home in addition to the value.
