"I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with their work! I have worked with a number of contractors in the past for various needs, and Brent by far surpasses them in professionalism, work ethic, and overall quality of work. He goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. We hired him for a retaining wall, garden work, and patio placement. He blended styles wonderfully, made excellent suggestions, and provided us with a better overall product than we ever could have hoped for. This was by far the most stress free project, and produced a BEAUTIFUL retaining wall and patio that I will cherish for years to come! I will 100% hired him for any future needs, and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping/hardscaping!"
"I contacted Rochester pools and excavating regarding a project i had in mind for deer season.. Bobby was more than accommodating! He prepared the site for my new hunting tower, raised my blind in the air, leveled it, secured it and turned my project into the nicest deer stand i have ever sat in! He was prompt, no messing around, the job was completed on time and i couldnt be more grateful! I would have paid him double of what he wanted to complete the task! Rochester pools and excavating is a top notch company that does way more than just pool installs. I had no idea their company was interested in doing land management projects until i reached out to them!"
"I’m very happy with the work done by Dan from Westside Home Improvement. He was very professional and super knowledgeable about everything from the beginning to the end of the project; he was consistently communicative; and he gave me a fair price for the quality and quantity of work that he did. Now my deck looks nearly like new! I would definitely recommend Westside Home Improvement to anyone looking to get home repairs done!"
"Brian was very nice and professional. He did a great job on my bushes in front of the house. I highly recommend him to do landscaping. He was prompt and knew exactly what to do."
"Destiny Properties was wonderful to work with! I appreciated that my instructions were followed as that has not always been the case with other companies. They were on time and friendly. The other thing that impressed me was the care that they took in not damaging my property but also my neighbors as the job required them to be on the lot line of 3 additional properties. It was a small job, but it was treated with the same level of importance as a bigger job. The owner, Bill, was thoughtful and polite both in person and on the phone. I will most certainly be hiring them again and sharing their contact info with others."
"After my Father's unexpected passing, my Mom has been left with all the house duties that her used to take care of for her. I decided to find a service to help for the winter with snow removal and I couldn't be happier with these guys. Every time it snows they come out to clear the snow automatically and they do a great job. I plan to have them help this summer with lawn mowing also."
"The owner of this company has done a fantastic job, keeping my lawn and my trimming done every two weeks as I requested. He sends out an invoice when service is due and as soon as it’s paid, he comes the next day to do my lawn, trimming and cleanup of all the ciippings. I would highly recommend him"
Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.
The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.
Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting.
Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.
Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.
