"They are all very polite, efficient, and reliable in closing the gates. I couldn't ask for anybody better and their prices are very reasonable. I especially love the fact that I don't have to worry about them taking care of my property and being responsible. I even recommended them for my neighbor next door and I will continue to use them."

"Mike and Nick came through for us in a big way. We now have a beautiful outdoor patio space that includes a fire pit, grill island and dining area all surrounded by stone wall with pillars and coping stones. Mike is a perfectionist and pays close attention to all the little details, while at the same time considering the big picture and was flexible to make changes/additions on the fly to come up with a finished product that we'll enjoy for years to come. Great job!"

"Landscape Illumination installed landscape lighting for our home and at the same time installed year around holiday LED lights around our roofline. Customer service is great - we had a strand of LED lights act up right after installation and they were right out to replace the strand. Our landscape lighting works and looks great every night but I waited an entire year to write a review to make sure our holiday lighting worked fine this year when I turned them back on - I'm happy to say that every LED light is still working great and I changed them to ORANGE for Halloween. thanks again to the team at Landscape Illumination - landscape lighting and permanent holiday lighting was worth every penny!"

"Mr. Preban & his crew installed a drainage system in my yard. His written estimate was complete, fairly priced. They showed up when they said they would & worked a long couple of days. I definitely recommend Preban Enterprises."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

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

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.
