"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!"

"Adam from Visions Landscaping did an amazing job understanding our requirements and planning everything meticulously. He did an amazing job replacing the faulty wiring and damaged bulbs. He even came back a few days later after sunset to see if any of the landscape lights needs adjustments. I would highly recommend Adam to anybody needing help with landscape lighting"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.
