"I met Drew in the fall of 2025. He handled leaf cleanup for me and did a wonderful job, there were a ton of leaves. He also handled snow removal during winter while we were in Florida. He was prompt in getting the snow cleared when needed and did a great job. Now I’ve hired him to handle my lawn this summer. Drew is very thorough, courteous, and reasonable. He’s intent on customer satisfaction! My lawn looks very nice and I look forward to his great service this summer."

"Explained the process prior to providing an estimate. Once the project started the process was followed in a methodical and detailed manner. Questions or issues were answered without hesitaition. Work was done on time. Crew was professional and courteous. No surprises with estimate or final bill. Aluminum edging was installed after old lawn and soil were removed and replaced with new topsoil and sod. Greatly improved the overall appearance of the front of the house.z"

Landscaping questions, 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.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

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.

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
