"I had contacted other contractors to come out and give me a quote for my project but I kept getting stood up. They came and quoted me on a Sunday no less and immediately put me on the books. They showed up on time and were polite and courteous. They equipment left some ruts in my yard but they showed up after they completed the job and fixed the ruts. They went above and beyond for me without asking and were super easy to work with. I will definitely be calling them first for any future concrete work I'll need in the future and refer any family and friends to them."

"They immediately came out and gave me a quote, which was very fair. We discussed power washing the driveway and sidewalk to my front door. They came out earlier than expected and did a phenomenal job! They also cleaned my front porch and all of my landscape blocks. They went above and beyond, in my book! I'll definitely hire them again soon, to clean my siding."

"Anyone looking for concrete work, hire John. He has years of knowledge and expertise, and that was evident in his craftsmanship. I had him build a 15x20ft patio with stairs, and it looks beautiful. I couldn't be happier. He got it done in a timely manner, and did exactly what he said he was going to do. His finishing was also excellent. He filled in all the tiny holes and blended the steps together seamlessly with the pad. Overall, my spouse and I are extremely satisfied. I would hire him again for any future concrete work. Thank you!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.
