Q: How far away from my house should I plant a tree?

• <div><p>You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.</p></div>

Q: What should you do with areas of grass that won't grow?

• <div><p>There are several reasons <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">your grass may be dying</a> that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do pergolas add value to a home?

• <div><p>Not only does adding a pergola to your landscaping add value to your home, but it also provides an excellent selling point to potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living.</p></div>

Q: How do I slope water away from my house?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-regrade-around-my-house-foundation.htm">Regrading around your fountain</a> should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or &ldquo;pond.&rdquo; </p></div>

Q: Do weeds grow in decomposed granite?

• <div><p>Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you&rsquo;ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar. </p></div>

The quality is very good so far but it is still in the first year of growing. I am not impressed with the growth of the grass but the deck and patio look great. Their price is high and they came in over budget. I have not yet determined if the quality of their work is worth the cost; I will...

I used Smith Massman Landscape and Design because of the feedback from Angie's List. They're the only landscaping service that I ever hired, I don't have a good point of reference.

What I liked about them is that they were very prompt in coming out and were very professional. We had a retaining wall that is going to be torn down and replaced and then they were going to take the limestones from the retaining wall they tore down and basically recycle that and use it for...

Don't waste your money! After derecho I contacted this company because they had done lawn care for me previously and I was desperate. After several months of making appointments with me and then not showing at scheduled times or simply being non-responsive, Jeff finally got a crew out to do the...

"Did a great job replacing polymer sand and resealing my concrete paver patio. I had to stay on him about getting the materials I wanted. Polymer sand and sealant weren't what I specified. But he made it right and was delightful to work with. "
