Q: How long does it take to establish a moss lawn?

• <div><p>Moss attaches to the ground but doesn&rsquo;t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.</p></div>

Q: Can I leave leaves on the ground all winter long?

• <div><p>A scattering of leaves won&rsquo;t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That&rsquo;s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.</p></div>

Q: What kind of plants can I place under my rain chain or downspout?

• <div><p>Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you&rsquo;re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren&rsquo;t super fast-growing (meaning they&rsquo;re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: </p><ul><li><p>Acorus (Sweet flag)</p></li><li><p>Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.</p></li><li><p>Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.</p></li><li><p>Juncus effusus (Curly rush)</p></li><li><p>Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do rock gardens need water?

• <div><p>Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don&rsquo;t water your rock garden too much during the winter. </p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate landscaping prices?

• <div><p>Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you&rsquo;re working. In most cases, you&rsquo;ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they&rsquo;re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.</p></div>

Andrew and his crew were nothing more than professional. They took on a job that several other landscapers did not want to do. They were prompt and their bid was nothing more than fair. I will continue to hire these landscapers and recommend them to anyone in need of lawn care.
