"Mark, with Patch of Heaven Landscape, is wonderful! I had him come out to my home in hopes to build an above ground garden & do some landscaping work around the front of the house. He came out within a week of our initial call and we discussed our options and worked up a plan. He got me a complete quote in 2 days! While, we are still waiting to make that final leap to re-do the front of the house, I wanted to for SURE go ahead and get the garden built to ensure I would have a summer / fall harvest ◡̈ Mark was MORE than helpful and a wealth of knowledge! He is quick to respond & answer any questions I may have regarding both landscape & my garden - his wife even sent me a couple different seeds to plant in my garden! Patch of Heaven truly goes above & beyond to ensure their customers receive the best service, quality, & care. I cannot recommend them more - looking forward to them coming back to help with my front landscape hopefully in the near future."

"Mr. Allen is pleasant, patient and professional. He carefully explains the tasks he will undertake to get the job done. He offered many options for the rocks I wanted, and sent photos so that I could choose the type, color, and size of rock to put in my backyard to check the erosion problem there."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

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 depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.
