Four Seasons Property Enhancements, Inc., is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade, combined with ability, is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customer's interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I give them stars for showing up and performing the requested tree removal. However, not very professional; with snow predicted for the following day, the entire crew did not show up until almost noon, leaving very few hours of daylight and good weather to complete a large job. They showed up the following day to complete cleanup, but it did indeed rain/snow for most of the day. Owner did not provide a contract, just quoted a price, which I accepted. At near dark, in the rain, owner showed up and asked what I thought of the cleanup job, but with the weather and near dark I was unable to evaluate adequately. I nonetheless gave him a check for the agreed-upon amount. Only after a couple of days had passed was I able to walk out and assess the cleanup, and I was not pleased. Items were removed to clear a path for the trees to fall, and not returned to their proper spots, and the trees did not even fall in the cleared area. I am glad the trees are gone, but I had spent many months trying to fix up the area that is now trampled and still littered with branches. I will be another two to three seasons, or more, trying to reclaim my yard."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.
