"We had two projects; landscape and hardscape. The landscaping was extensive, involving the front yard and backyard. The crew was professional and thorough. They worked through issues and concerns with us as the job progressed. The hardscape involved repairs to a paver patio for drainage issues, and power washing / resealing. The end result for both projects exceeded our expectations."

"I spoke with Ryan and he came out the same day to discuss the job. We talked about a few options and he wrote up the proposal. His pricing was fair and he demonstrated tremendous knowledge in both landscaping and running his business. I accepted the proposal and that following week the work was complete. Everything looks fantastic! You can’t even tell there was damage to the retaining wall and I have the greenest grass on the block. A few days later Ryan stopped by to check everything out and gave some sound tips on what to look for to ensure my sod takes root and remains healthy for the spring. I highly recommend Ryan's Blade Runners."

"My husband formerly installed underground irrigation, so was able to diagnose our problem as a faulty valve. But we’re both multiple cancer patients in our 70’s. Mo came out and two hours later, leaks repaired, heads adjusted, and he is going to come back later and give me an estimate to extend my system to water, my bag, flower beds, and possibly install lighting. So pleased."

"RPM Excavation, LLC, graded and incorporated additional soil into both backyard and front yard areas where deep ruts had ruined the integrity of the lawn which could no longer be mowed properly. After distributing good topsoil, they seeded the area and covered it with straw. They also installed a drainage pop-up to take care of the overflow water from the gutters. They did a great job. Looks good."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

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.

Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.
