"In recent months, it has been difficult to get home repair men and yard workers to actually show up when they said they would., or even return my calls. Garden Zest Landscaping returned my call, came on the day and time they promised, and gave me a reasonable quote. They did the work immediately, and the trees and shrubs looked great. They were pleasant to work with, delightful in fact. Ià ¢à  à  ll definitely be calling them again."

"I was required by my insurance company to replace an elevated section of my sidewalk due to underground tree roots. I reached out to Local Boyz and they were quick to respond with an estimate. The company kept me updated as to what permits would be required and also dates available so that I could meet the insurance company deadlines. The owner arrived at my home this morning around 7:30 and did a great job digging up tree roots, and pouring the cement to even out the sidewalk path. The work was done meticulously, and due to the very cold weather expected, a cement cover was placed across to protect it from the upcoming low temperatures. I was very pleased with the whole process and would definitely recommend Local Boyz!"

"Their work is beautiful. We had edgers put in around the whole area and it looks great. The corners are perfectly mitered and the whole area is level. They did the job quickly and were spotless when they finished. Also, they were responsive to my calls and requests."

"I was very pleased with Larry and his team at Brickscapes. They arrived on time and did a professional landscaping job on my new bushes and plants and mulch and cleanup. They were very accommodating when I needed a temporary watering system too. Excellent work."

"Dakota, the owner is awesome. What can I say? He answers the phone. He responds to texts. He shows up. He does a great job. And is generally just very nice guy. I need a Landscaper last year very late in the season. I think it was mid May or so. I was very late to the game. Grasshopper was the only one to respond and the only one who said â yeah we can do itâ . Very impressive and I highly recommend this company."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.
