What do professional gardeners do?

• <div><p>By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies. </p></div>

What kind of plants can I place under my rain chain or downspout?

• <div><p>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: </p><ul><li><p>Acorus (Sweet flag)</p></li><li><p>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.</p></li><li><p>Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.</p></li><li><p>Juncus effusus (Curly rush)</p></li><li><p>Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you plant junipers close to the house?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Should you put landscape fabric under rocks?

• <div><p>Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it&rsquo;s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need a layer of padding under my grass?

• <div><p>If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.</p></div>

They did a good job. Trees were removed with little or no damage to surrounding landscape. They cleaned up well. They were nice to work with. We would call them again if we needed this type of work in the future.
