"Rented the excavator so I could redo the ditch along my driveway. It was dropped off on time with a full tank of fuel. Guy that dropped it off answered the questions I had and said to call anytime if I had issues. Exactly what I wanted to hear. Will rent from him again."

"I have a couple rental homes with some older siding. I didn’t want to go the route of pressure washing due to the risk of it cracking. Patriot Soft Wash & Lawn offered soft washing services at a great price, so I figured I’d give them a shot. I could not be happier with the results and my old tattered siding looks new again. Hopefully now I can get a couple more years out of it because replacing them. I will certainly hire Patriot Soft Wash again."

"I had recently moved to a new house and wasn't sure what was possible with my backyard. Vinlandsverket designed a plan that included a pool, lawn, planter boxes, and some simple brick paths. The service really helped me plan the brand new yard I wanted! The service was fast, professional, easy, and provided great customer service!"

"A huge shout out to Fred Cameron and his crew. They did a fabulous job paving my driveway. Fred was super to meet and talk with, he came out and met with me gave me a quote right on the spot. He gave me some great input on what he thought was best for our project. Fred had great ideas and you could tell years of experience as he explained things. Fred and his crew came when he said they would and had the project wrapped in the time he said it would take. Fred's crew were extremely pleasant and professional about the job they all worked hard and very efficiently. I would highly recommend BlackTop Paving to anyone looking to get their driveway done. Thank you Fred for a wonderful experience. Thank you to Fred's crew for all their hard work. I am a very happy customer. 😊 Rusty L"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • 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.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they’re established. You’ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape.

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.
