"Precision Landscape & Excavation did an outstanding job turning my wet back yard into a dry and open entertaining and play area. They removed a 1,600 sf patch of swampy trees then filled, re-graded and hydro-seeded my 10,000 sf yard for improved drainage. Ben and his team then totally transformed the space with their beautiful hardscaping (retaining & sitting walls, granite stairs, paver walkway, patio and fire pit). Their attention to detail exceeded my high expectations and they threw in several finishing touches without charge. The Precision crew provided a top quality job, demonstrated the pride they take in their work, and all at a very fair price. Highly recommended."

"They're really "go getters" and aim to please. Eric came to give me a quote to expand my driveway and make room for my camper to be parked. He gave me a range in price and explained how certain options would cost more or save me money within that range. So the final price was "dialed in"when it was time to start. The communication was great. I was notified that they could start early. As it went on I was asked how I wanted it to look. Attention to small details and explanations on how best to improve, creating the best outcome. The end product was exactly what I needed and I recommend this company to others. I will keep their number In my contacts to have them make updates and changes to my yard in the future."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls.
