"Anthony did a good job, was very responsive to all my requests. He had to send his crew back two times because they did not check with us before leaving and there were some things left unfinished, but he sent them back and made a big effort to make sure we were happy at the end. My only small complaint is that we had to make sure the crew didn’t take shortcuts, they kept trying to get away with the minimum work and we had to keep pointing things that seemed very obvious, however, once we asked for them, they addressed them. Over all, it was a great experience and we will be going back to Anthony if we ever need help with any tree or landscaping."

"Very pleased with the result, amenable crew, delivered as promised, throughout the nerve wracking process. Our drainage control project was extensive, including building of beautiful retaining wall, reshaping steep gravel drive, buried French and connecting underground drains and garden fencing. Luke's attention to detail made this project shine!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.
