"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!"

"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"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

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.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
