"Jake and his crew are very fast, professional, and reliable! With very fair prices for lawn care needs, tried a few different company’s but no one compared to Living Greens quality and price."
"I reached out to him to inquire about a couple of stumps that needed removed. He came out super fast, gave a very reasonable quote. After we agreed on the price, he came out and made super quick work of the three stumps.
Will definitely be hiring again when I have more stumps that need removed."
"He did a great job. He was here on time a finished after cleaning up all the area. Very easy to work with. I will be recommending him to our neighbors and friends."
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
"Great husband and wife team. What started as one project turned into multiple projects. They were there working hard everyday until the job was done. Everything looks fantastic. Just the facelift my little house needed!!"

"Backwoods Landscaping did an excellent job at my house. I had them rework and improve several planting beds. Their rates are extremely affordable. They showed up on time and got straight to work. They offered to do additional work that I had forgotten to ask them do. They are conscientious and very hardworking. I was so impressed that no other landscaping company will be considered for future projects at my house. They will do any and all of my work from now on. I suggest anyone looking for lawn or landscaping work give these guys a call. I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I am."
Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.
Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.
No. Unfortunately, leaf removal is your responsibility, no matter what tree the leaves come from. It would be pretty hard to regulate leaves since they can be moved by the wind or water. Imagine the detective skills it would take to determine which tree each leaf came from and who was then liable for removing it. Instead, plan to remove any leaves on your property.
In general, you can prune up to one third of the height of most shrubs without damaging them. There are a few exceptions to this rule: Pine shrubs, for example, can’t be trimmed below the point of new growth without damaging them.
Sure thing! Recycling natural lump charcoal offers even more possibilities. Try using it as mulch to suppress weeds in your yard. You can also add a piece of charcoal to your vase to prolong the lifespan of cut flowers. Remember, fresh lump charcoal works wonders as an odor neutralizer, but avoid using used charcoal as it may lead to contamination.
