"Fast Lane Contracting cleared about 500 square feet of thick forest in our back yard. Robert and Melody are friendly and professional and asked us all along the process what we were wanting and if they were providing that service as we wanted. They truly cared about doing the job exactly as wanted. The price was good, too. I would definitely use them again."

"Highly recommend Pinehurst Turf Pros. They were great to work with and communicated throughout the entire process. They do meticulous work and took their time to make our project look great. Along with the great job of installing our turf, they did an outstanding job of cleaning up after the work was done and I truly appreciated the effort make things like they were before they arrived. Great people to work with and they were also great with letting our dogs join them at times so they could use the backyard. Quality work at a reasonable and fair price."

"Had my entire driveway removed and replaced. After a few months found crack in driveway. An "employee" of the company stated he would repair the crack at no cost. Several months later "employee" removed a section of driveway and then refused to complete the work. Business owner claims they did not agree to do the repair and "employee" did it on his own personal time. Don't understand how a business could allow an "employee" start but not finish a job. Make sure you get warranty in writing. Had to complete repair on my own."

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.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.
