"I have hired different landscaping services and can say that Carolinaâ s Landscaping is by far the best. They are punctual, hardworking, courteous, and know what they are doing. They mow my lawn weekly, trim all shrubs and hedges as needed, saw limbs that have fallen from huge trees, perform fall leaf removal, and they do it all for a good price and a happy attitude. This is a great company with excellent service."

"Mr. Snyder and his son were great to work with. I scheduled an on-site lighting demonstration and was highly impressed at his ability to accentuate certain aspects of the home with temporary setups. I immediately made the decision to have the work done. He provided everything I needed to gain approval from my HOA and that was a big help! The time and level of detail he puts into his jobs is wonderful. I would highly recommend anyone looking for landscape lighting to utilize his services.

"Jose did an installation of my irrigation system and also fine tuned the sprinkler heads. He was reasonably priced and did a great job. After a few weeks, I had to fine tune the sprinkler heads. He initially assisted me over the phone and also visited the house next day to do the tuning. I’d confidently recommend Jose to others who are in need of the landscaping services."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.
