Very personable, but it took a very long time to complete the garden plan. Brought in nice topsoil for my clayey garden beds and re-shaped them nicely, but was disappointed to find that they had not removed the old plastic edging when I tried to install my new plants.

I have used them twice already. I used them once before to plant a tree for me because the tree I had died last year and they came out and replaced it for free, under warranty. They have done a great job. I rate them highly. I will use them again in the future if needed.

Plant Watering questions, answered by experts

Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:

Pros

Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.
Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard.
Water features can add more value to your home.

Cons

Regular maintenance is necessary.
Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.
Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.

Most home misters use several cups of water in a couple of minutes, or around a gallon per hour of use. That varies greatly depending on the size of the system and the power of the pump. If you are using professional services, you should ask about water use for your planned system when you’re getting an estimate. If you are using a water tank, make sure it’s filled before operation.

After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court.

DIY kits are available, but professional installation ensures proper water flow, electrical safety, and leak prevention.

Yes, professional services include proper electrical wiring and plumbing setup for continuous water circulation.
