What plants do deer hate?

• <div><p>The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/comprehensive-guide-plants-repel-deer.htm">plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy</a>. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.</p><p>Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if I need a layer of padding under my grass?

• <div><p>If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to mulch?

• <div><p>Mid to late spring is the best time of year to mulch. If you do it too early in the spring, the mulch could slow down the warming process of the soil and affect how well plants grow. By mid to late spring the temperatures are usually steadying, making it an ideal time to spread mulch.</p></div>

Q: Can you put topsoil over sand to grow grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots&rsquo; 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.</p></div>

Q: How deep do bamboo roots grow?

• <div><p>Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they&rsquo;re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you&rsquo;ll have to dig out the full root system.</p></div>

The initial presentation of plan and estimate were outstanding, very professional. Plans were drawn up and given to us on vellum. The cost was almost exorbitant, but probably worth it considering how much attention to detail was applied, and how much work was involved in transforming our old...

Did not meet deadlines- did not return calls promptly. When they finally came, they did a great job- even though the workers left early and did not communicate well with us. They were smoking in my yard and I was disapproving.
