"Vin DiPasquale Landscaping, bought out Lewey Landscaping. The only reason I stayed with the service was because the crew from Lewey had taken care of my lawn 8 plus years. The new owner, Vin and I had a difference of opinion on landscaping work. I saved video clips and text messages on the problems I had with their landscaping and follow up. The main person who managed the lawn care was Lindsey Carroll, she left Vin and started her own lawn service which I highly recommend. Her # 252-955-5416. Lindsey has taken care of my lawn for over 10 years. Quality and Care is what she gives in her work."

"Rivera Landscape exceeded my expectations! We had a major backyard project that included retaining walls, sod install, placing river rock around our pool and fire pit area, and mulch border around the fence. They completed everything ahead of schedule. Their work ethic is impressive and hard to come by this day and time. The crew always showed up when they said and were pleasant to do business with. They are my go-to crew from now on. Iâ ve already referred 3 of my family members to them. Thank you Rivera!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

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.”

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

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.
