"I had a sewer pipe issue in my front yard that had to be dug up and repaired and needed the pile of dirt the plumbing company left in my front yard graded and hydroseeded. I got online and we’re looking for landscapers and contractors in Davenport Iowa in the Quad cities and they responded right away and had a great price. Highly recommended!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Jamie is extremely easy to work with. We had a previous contractor bury our downspouts which was a huge mistake as he used incorrect materials and installed them incorrectly (this guy knew what our concrete project was too as we had asked him for a bid). Before removing the disaster, Jamie talked to us, told us what the problem would be if we didn't remove it and then had to fix some of what this other guy did. We knew he was on the up and up as 3 other contractors had told us the same thing regarding the downspouts. Very professional. The price was very reasonable. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

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.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. 

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.
