"Anthony and his crew did an incredible job taking down a huge and dangerous dead tree on our property. The entire experience working with their team was first class. Everything was done very professionally from start to finish. Invoicing, scheduling and execution of the project was flawless. They offer a wide variety of services at fair prices. I would highly recommend them for any tree service or lawn/landscaping needs. I worked in the home services industry for nearly 10 years and Anthony's business is doing things the right way! Great job guys!"

"These guys are great! I had a birthday party coming up at the end up the month and really wanted my lights done by then. Jake and Ronnie were so understanding of my timeline and were in constant communication throughout the whole process. Will definitely be using them for my lighting going forward!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting. 

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.

Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.
