"Brandon came out to evaluate the project. I had 30 piles of asphalt millings that I wanted spread over my driveways. We agreed on a price and he was right on time for when he said he would be back to complete the project. He stayed in constant contact with me (even though I was at work the entire time he was at my home to work) and told me exactly what was going on. He didn’t get the job done in one day like he thought but he returned first thing this morning to finish up. Words can not express the outstanding job that was done. The driveways are as smooth as babies butts and if we needed something changed, he easily adapted to our needs. I highly recommend Mulryan Excavating to anyone needing large equipment work done. A young man but raised to be polite, courteous and above all respectful. If you skip this contractor, YOU are the one missing out. A in my book."

"SLK removed our old (rotted) wooden deck and poured a new concrete patio - the whole thing was honestly stress free which I don’t say often about home improvement projects! They got us on the schedule fast, and the quote was extremely competitive. When they found an old cracked concrete pad hiding under the deck, they didn't let it hold things up. Dakota and his team pivoted and took care of the removal that same day. Great communication start to finish and the patio came out great. We'd hire Dakota and the SLK team again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
