"Per my father: Nathan walked the property and made suggestions then came back with a crew and did the pruning and removal that was discussed. The problem is he never did the drawing to replant as agreed upon. I reminded him once by email a month later and by that time it was "a busy spring" and he "forgot". He said he'd get right on it. I sent another email as to what was happening last week (6 months later) and no answer. So it looks like if you need someone to do basic clean up work this is your guy. But if you want landscaping planning and planting, that doesn't seem to be of interest. Too bad as I had another property to do too."

"We hired Ranardo to do our Spring Clean-Up and Lawn Maintenance . We had contacted multiple Landscape Companies for quotes but several of them never followed up. One contractor wanted us to pay him up front for the work. Ranardo was very responsive and has done an excellent job for our Spring Cleanup and has begun our Lawn Maintenance. Iâ m very happy with Ranardoâ s work."

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.

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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. 

Yes, adding a pergola can add value to your home and provides an excellent selling point for potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living. Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment. To add more value, choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and have it professionally installed. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may also give you a better return on investment.
