"Very professional and friendly. The owner listens to what is wanting to be done and worked with me to get it done. They performed the job as if they were working on their own property and paid attention to detail. The project was done quickly and the price of the project is the best I could find and I would DEFINITELY recommend Down and Dirty Land Clearing for anyone looking to get anything done."

"Outstanding! Most professional and customer oriented business I have ever done business with in over 50 years! We have an in-ground pool that was installed 17 years ago. This year the plumbing for the pool developed serious leaks that required all the plumbing be replaced. We did some searching for companies that would consider excavating. It had to be done with surgical precision as utility lines were involved as well as keeping the fiberglass shell of the pool intact, which could easily have been cracked with one wrong move of the excavator. Don Muns and his crew came to the rescue. They expertly coordinated the excavation and readied the pool for the pool company to install new lines. When done, they carefully backfilled the trench and poured a beautiful concrete slab/deck. Don always kept us informed as to what he was doing and always kept our questions and concerns answered. They worried tirelessly, and hardly ever took a break while here, better than many companies that I have known. Neither one of them smoke either. If you should need an expert excavator with top of the line equipment and/or concrete work, look no further. Titan Paving and Drainage can handle it and put your worries to rest. If we should ever need them for drainage diagnosis, excavating, or anything beyond the capabilities of this do-it-yourselfer, Don will be the first person I will call. I believe he even as pics and a couple of videos out there on FaceBook and YouTube of the job site, the challenges it presented, and the finished product."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

The duration of a lakefront landscaping project is determined by its scope, environmental conditions, and weather impacts. It often takes several weeks to a few months to complete.

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

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.
