Locke’s Landscaping provides outdoor living and enjoyment to discriminating tastes. We understand that a beautiful house can be a “canvas unfinished,” simply a beautiful house. A professionally landscaped house becomes a home, an invitation not only to friends and family, but to nature itself, in creating a tranquil outdoor retreat from the stresses of everyday life–right outside your door.

"Excellent: Locke's crew did a great job. The design was well laid-out, reasonably priced, delivered on time, and the crew cleaned-up after the job was completed."

"THERE SHOULD BE AWARENESS TO OTHERS OF THE SHADY BUSINESS DEALINGS OF ALEX MATTHEWS OF FAST CUT SERVICES. HE SHOULD NOT BE HIRED FOR ANY KIND OF SERVICES IN REGARD TO HIS INCAPABILITY, UNRELIABILITY, OR NO EXPERIENCE TO COMPLETE THE SERVICES FOR WHICH HE QUOTED AND AGREED - BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE TRUCKING EQUIPMENT TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH SERVICES. Alex was hired in November 2018 and given a $500. down payment to cut and the removal of 2 trees from the property. It was requested that the concern of the larger tree be cut 1st because of the age-related instability. He instead cut down the way smaller tree â which landed the 30 FT length of the tree trunk on an established 70+ yr old lilac bush, and he didn't contact us to tell that he had SEVERELY DAMAGED it. Then there were 3 CALLS over the next two months to Alex there-after asking when it was the we would expect the start of the cutting and removal of the original concern tree. 1st Call- Family Emergency, 2nd Call- Next Week he would do it, 3rd Call- Next Week he would again do it -was what he responded. The following week I received a called from a neighbor stating a large tree limb fell on the shed crushing and destroying the structure- which now needs to be removed and replaced. When I called Alex and sent a photo of the destroyed structured and asked why after almost 4 months the services had not been accomplished...his response was of many excuses and outright lies. He said: We should had known to had called another company to complete the services that he wasn't going to finish himself because he couldn't get the trucking equipment needed to cut the larger tree. That he didn't have our phone number at hand (on the smartphone that he called previously to take calls from) to call when he supposedly was on the property but couldn't cut that day because a neighbor's car was in the way. That itâ s hard to get good reliable hired-hands to work with him. That he didn't want to be on the property when the ground was soft in Nov., Dec., Jan. or Feb. in the Port Huron area in WINTER Months? Alex gave one excuse after another for the 45 minutes conversation that went on -after asking for the refund of the $500. To be given back to put towards the replacement of the shed and some broken contents. He even thought that the value of the shed should be depreciated by its age and it wasn't worth what it would cost for the replacement value. He had $200. and said he had no money nor income because of the seasonal work. I said should he had finished the services he would had been paid in full should he needed the money and income. I have waited 1 month for Alex to contact me with arrangements to refund the remaining $300. I called 2 MORE TIMES and he wonâ t answer nor call me back. (NOW IT IS ALMOST APRIL 2019) I told him that I would take action to the fact that no other person would have to go through this terrible ordeal and think that the 5 stars given in the past were any indication that he should be hire. HE SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED BY HIS WORD, NOR WHAT HE WILL SAY HE CAN DO, BECAUSE HE DID NOT CUT, REMOVE, COMPLETE THE SERVICES THAT HE SAID HE COULD AND WOULD DO. ALEX MENTIONED THAT HIS 25 YEAR AGE SHOULD HAD BEEN GIVEN AS INEXPERIENCE OF RUNNING A BUSINESS AND MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN TO ANY ONE AT ANY TIME. BUT THE DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND REDEEM ONE SELF OF FAULT BY THE REFUND OF $500. RIGHTFULLY GIVEN BACK FOR FAILURE OF SERVICES RENDERED. I PLAN TO CONTINUE MY CONCERN AND TO CONTACT SEVERAL DIFFERENT AVENUES OF NOTIFICATION OF AWARENESS THAT OF ALEX MATTHEWS OF FAST CUT SERVICES IN THE TREE SERVICING BUSINESS. DO NOT PAY..."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

Trellises offer versatility beyond just attaching to a fence because they provide privacy and shade. They can serve as standalone features in your garden or deck or as panel screens in pergolas. Plus, you can find trellises in various design options, including diamond-shaped or checker patterns, making working with trellises very creative and fun.

Your fence post holes should be about three times as wide as the post. So if your post is 4-by-4 inches, you should make your hole at least 12 inches wide. The depth of the hole depends on the height of your post, but it should be as deep as one-third of the post height.

Pergolas have no base structure to hold them up, so it’s necessary to attach them to some type of foundation. Most pergolas require a minimum of at least four concrete footings to keep them solid and stable in the ground. Attaching the pergola to a concrete foundation is an option as well.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.
