"Wonderful results! Gary created just the effect I was looking for and the price was reasonable. We just moved into a newly constructed home and have two dogs, so we were anxious to have a landscape we could be proud of. In less than two weeks he completed a gorgeous front, side, and back yard (patio home) to include a flagstone patio (one of the prettiest I've ever seen). Need I say more? Thank you Service Magic--- I'll definitely be back!"

"Yes Bobby did a Great Job on my Flower bed that I needed to be cleaned out and redone, also trimming down my yard. He worked on a rainy day getting that done in a timely manner. I was Very pleased with his work, and I would highly recommend him for any yard task."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.

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 cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”
