"She is a very small business owner with hands on work even alongside her employees when she utilized them for bigger projects I hired her for after the first job, again and again. I was very impressed with her thoughtfulness, attention to details, and how personal she made it for me. Not only was it beautifully done, from her design to completion, her little touches she added made it clear that she strives for as she put it "makiing people smile" and goes above and beyond. She may not be as realistic with time frames due to how small her company is, but overall, it was and continues to be well worth the time when you can tell her heart is in it too."

"It went great! He came out the first day I talk to him to measure up the roof and give me the estimate.The work was completed in time limits promised. No payment was asked for until completion of all work. The installers where very professional. They were there everyday on time, sometimes not in the best weather I my add. They kept their work areas clean and did a quality job. I would definitely use them again.

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. 

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.
