"Joel and his team completed the work in a timely fashion, and the attention to detail was excellent. His communication throughout the process was very timely as well. His quote was more reasonable than other landscape companies. I would suggest Joel for your next landscaping project."

"They arrived on time as scheduled. The dirt delivered was excellent quality and not full of large clumps ! It was easy to spread in the yard. I have had dirt delivered in the past, but never the quality of Titan"

"Andres discussed several options with me for a raised deck or patio to the backdoor. He set a reasonable price for all the work he did: raised concrete patio with stairs, door installation, wood railings plus he and his crew were extremely helpful with small jobs I asked for. In the small community I live in it is very hard to find responsive, reliable, reasonable contractors who do the job RIGHT! So glad I found him."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

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.
