"I have been using Lawn Care Solutions since I moved into my home in 2015. From big projects (drainage installation, landscaping, walkway), to routine spring and fall clean up, Mike and his team are the only ones I would trust. Their attention to detail, communication, and quality have always been top notch. I wouldn’t consider any one else for my lawn care needs!"

"Green Queen landscaping was absolutely amazing. Did what they said they were going to do; right down to every last detail. I couldn’t be more pleased. They did the job within a couple of days of me hiring them. Clearly they are professional and know what they are doing. They removed my old bushes and added flowering bushes that are absolutely stunning. I recommend Green Queen landscaping, 100%. Fair price, check them out. Unfortunately I was unable to upload pictures. Saying the file is too big. I’ll have to figure that out and get it done another time but trust me they are wonderful."

"I would highly recommend Stewart's Lawn care. He is professional, goes above and beyond and always make sure the lawn is always manicured. He makes to trim around edges, and trees with the weed whacker. He cleans up after himself and leaves not mess. He does an excellent job."

"It went perfect! The owner, Griffin , was extremely nice and understanding and willing to work with me for exactly what I needed done at my farm! Since a flood took out our walk way and driveway at my farm, it needed to all be redone. Griffin excavated all the old damage walkway and driveway and also put a drainage system under the new driveway and walkway. Which I originally didn’t think of but to prevent this from happening again, Griffins idea worked so well, since the farm is in a valley and we get flooding quite often! An estimated was always provided and communication was always great. I would highly recommend and will be using again!"

"Miller Construction Group did an outstanding job on our stamped concrete patio. From the initial planning to the final finish, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. The craftsmanship is top-tier?the pattern, color, and overall finish came out even better than we expected. The crew was on time, organized, and kept the jobsite clean. The project was completed on schedule, and the results completely transformed our outdoor space. If you?re looking for high-quality concrete work done right, I highly recommend Miller Construction Group."

"It a was a pleasure working with Jeff. He responded quickly and then came to assess the job soon after. He suggested very good options such as laying down decorative stones instead mulch. He scheduled us in and was here to do the work later. Trees were trimmed and bushes and he removed a few small trees that were not doing well. At his suggestion, we he put decorative stones instead of mulch on a large area around our house. We were delighted with his work and the finished result greatly enhances our property. Our neighbours complimented us on the look. We would definitely recommend Jeff and his company!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

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.
