"Jake has come to my property for 3 to evaluate and prune our orchard. We have Apple, Pear, Peach and Cherry trees and Jake is very comfortable working with all types of fruit trees. I would highly recommend him for any type of landscaping, yard work or tree trimming. Not only is he great at what he does, he shows up when he says he will and his pricing is great."
"AWESOME! These guys work is off the charts exceptionally! They did an outstanding job paving our driveway. It looks beautiful, the asphalt is deep, and they clean up afterwards really good. I'm sure you can probably find someone to pave your driveway for less money, but I highly doubt you'll find anyone to do a better job than these guys! Call them for a free quote. You won't regret working with them!"

The whole crew did an excellent job and everyone that has come over to our house has commented on how amazing out patio looks! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have pavers done!"
"Absolutely wonderful work! No hassle, dependable and a great guy to just talk with while he works! Had a front stairway/deck put on and I’m beyond thrilled with the finished project!! Thank you again!!"
"Absolutely fabulous! I had an overgrown lawn about 3ft high and they didn’t even blink! Just said no problem! They were also the only people I called that actually answered their phone.& I didn’t have to leave a msg with a computer prompt that kept cutting me off. They even came to ck out the job first. It was a huge job and they are miracle workers. I will be utilizing their services for years to come. 10 stars! Definitely recommend them."

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:
Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits
Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features
Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.
Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.
