"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."

"Working with Brandon/Top-Notch Masonry was fantastic. I hired Top-Notch to repoint like 580 sq feet of 135 year old brick on my house...not an easy job, plus I can be a bit picky. Brandon at Top-Notch was great to work with - quick and comprehensive communication, attention to detail, a clean jobsite, fair pricing, and masonry mastery. I don't very often leave gleaming reviews, but I truly enjoyed working with Top-Notch and I'm so thrilled with the work and the way our house looks now. I would 100% recommend Top-Notch to anyone looking for high quality masonry work!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

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.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.
