"Actually, I had a demolition done of the concrete on our patio. (and demo, too, of a huge tree stump and root in the middle, which had pulled up sections of concrete). The person who was contracted to do the work was very pleasant as well as thorough as he drove a machine that pulled up the concrete. He was able to finish in the "nick of time" (before colder more unpleasant winter weather set in). The overall estimate for a new patio itself seemed quite high (esp with a stone staircase). So- I opted just to go with this co. for the demolition part, and I was pleased. They also leveled the ground and installed a new gutter pipe which went underground to the edge of what would be a new patio area. Thank you very much!"

"Victor and his team did an amazing job on my yard. He put in a paver patio, put in a stone walkway filled with gravel around it, leveled my yard and put sod down. My husband and I love it so much! He gave us a great price for quality work."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.

During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.

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.

Lakefront landscaping offers benefits such as enhancing aesthetic appeal, increasing property value, supporting ecological balance, and providing recreational opportunities while preserving the shoreline's natural beauty.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
