"Excellent communication and service. They built a retaining wall for my front yard flower bed. It was completed timely and professionally with no damage to my yard. I am looking forward to phase 2 next year and will also hire them for my annual maintenance. I recommend using them for landscaping needs."

"Fantastic! Urban Turf/Thomas are very professional. Stays in contact with us on arrival days, work being done etc. this helps us plan as well. Simple payment set up via cell phone link. When the guys are at the house, they're straight to it, quality work, friendly. It started by them helping with yard mowing due to my health issues. And their suggestive selling (hey it's their jobs) fall/spring clean up, gutter clean out, and now fertilization program, has been great. Saves me time and steps. They're very open to ideas for landscaping as well. Offering options that can save us $ long term, and things I hadn't considered. Thanks Urban Turf for the great service and quality work!"

"We couldn?t be happier with our new privacy fence! From start to finish, the installation was smooth, professional, and right on schedule. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and paid close attention to detail?everything is straight and solid. Very competitive on price. We received several estimates and Branched Out was prompt and priced within our budget. Tyler took the time to answer our questions and left the property clean when they were done. The fence has completely transformed our yard. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch wooden fence installation!"

"I recently had a retaining wall installed in my backyard, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The construction team was professional, timely, and attentive to detail. The wall itself is sturdy and well-crafted, effectively holding back the soil while adding aesthetic value to my landscape. The materials used were high quality, and the design seamlessly integrates with the overall look of my property. The team also provided clear instructions on maintenance, ensuring the longevity of the wall. Overall, I highly recommend this retaining wall to anyone looking to improve their yard's functionality and appearance."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

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.

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.

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.
