"Over the past 3 months I have been looking for someone reliable to complete the landscape work at my rental property in Kalamazoo. I had 2 other contractors that were not reliable and were extremely hard to get ahold of. This was not the case with McNutt Landscaping. They reached out to me right away when I put in my request on Angie’s list. My experience is unique because I don’t live in Kalamazoo so I had to explain over the phone the landscape upgrades I wanted to have done. They were able to complete the work within my budget and they did it within 3 days of my initial call. The project came out great and I will be using them for regular lawn care moving forward. Very professional company and would recommend to anyone interested in landscaping work."

"We hired Stanton to excavate and prepare a site for a large storage shed, and to pour a concrete pad. The work was done on time and the cost reasonable. We are delighted with the final result."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.

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.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.
