Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Forrest Excavation to correct drainage issues from my house and to apply erosion mulch to my front yard. Richard and Zach arrived as scheduled and worked tirelessly to complete the work efficiently in one day. They took great care to “do the job correctly the first time” to avoid issues later. My yard is so much improved. Richard is very personable and easy to talk to. I will hire him again if needed and give him my highest recommendation."

"I put what I was looking for into Angi. Three professionals were recommended. Out of the three, Issac contacted me the same day, whereas the others did not respond. Issac came that same week and gave us an estimate. We were looking to have a flower bed planted asap. Isaac came less than a week later to to the job. Even though the temperature was brutal, he completed the job quickly and with care. He was professional, timely and reasonable! He even checked back in with me two days after to be sure our plants were acclimating well. I would highly recommend Catkin and Isaac for any landscaping project big or small. Thank you!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

Lakefront landscaping offers benefits such as enhancing aesthetic appeal, increasing property value, supporting ecological balance, and providing recreational opportunities while preserving the shoreline's natural beauty.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.
