"As a single mom of 4 kids, it's hard for me to work full time and take care of the house and kids let alone do yard work too. Hiring Fresh Start Lawn Care and Landscaping, LLC has helped me out tremendously! I don't have to worry about my yard looking like a mess all the time. The owner, David, is very kind and takes pride in his work. I'm so thankful!!!"

"I hired Trent because he seemed to be a good man. He promised that he would not stop until I was happy. He did not disappoint. He did a fantastic job and his price was competitive. Will definitely use him again for landscaping around pool."

"Dave and Dave Jr and their guys explained the project accurately and completely during the planning phase. When the materials arrived, I was fully prepped for what would take place. When work began, the guys worked tirelessly in extreme heat but never stopped until the project was completed. The care for the 1650sf of patio pavers was explained and they even followed up with suggestions and education to make our patio better than we ever envisioned. Additionally, Elite built us a beautiful outdoor grill area, tiki torch towers and a gas fire pit we enjoy at sundown. Weâ ve had Elite Hardscapes back to do another project (paver steps and landings and lots of low-voltage landscape accent lighting) and are equally happy as we were on the first big project. We are already discussing the next project they will do for usâ ¦theyâ re really the best and my wife and I highly recommend them without any reservation."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

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.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
