"I cannot tell you how fortunate I was to find a landscaping company like Four Tree, they are totally amazing at their craft… thank you Matt and crew, my landscaping looks awesome! You are my forever landscapers!! See you in the fall…"
"Jeffrey and his crew were great to work with. A happy and efficient crew showed up at our home and were an absolute pleasure to have on site throughout our project. They truly love what they do and it was a lot of fun to watch them work and interact with eachother all the while providing a great product and flawless and professional install. They were cheerful, respectful and even nice to my dogs who they were installing the turf for. They came in under budget, finished exactly on time and communicated with us the whole way through. Jeffrey was easily accessible, answered texts or calls right away and has followed up with us after install to insure we are loving our new space. We had worked with another turf company in the past and they tried to overcharge us for their mistakes, they were rude, short with us and acted like they were doing us a favor by doing the job. And the quality of the turf was so poor it did not last, hence where Jeffrey and his crew came in to replace with beautiful turf. We may end up doing the front yard now and will definitely call Intelliturf back to do that job."

"Prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, hard-working, and dedicated to fair pricing and exceptional results—That’s NPC 3 Services. Nick’s immediate response to my landscaping emergency, coupled with his extensive plant knowledge and exceptional attention to detail, made NPC 3 the clear choice. His positive can-do spirit and ability to visualize the potential of my property quickly confirmed that we were on the same page. In record time, Nick and his team transformed my overgrown outdoor space by expertly reviving my shrubs and rhododendrons, restoring my half-century-old Red Japanese Maple to its former glory, and completely eliminating dozens of invasive bittersweet vines. The dense overgrowth along my property line was efficiently cleared and removed. I was thoroughly impressed by Nick’s skill and professionalism, and I wholeheartedly recommend NPC 3 Services to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy landscaping expert. You won’t be disappointed!"

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.
Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.
Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.
A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.
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.
