"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.
