"I hired Element Landscaping to prune some apple trees at my home, 2 young trees that needed some expertise to shape and a very old tree that still puts out apples but has seen better days. Jake Hoag did an *amazing* job with all of them! He was very thoughtful about keeping a balanced shape on the trees while trimming away what was needed to keep them healthy. They look beautiful already and I can't wait to see them bloom in the spring! In addition to great pruning, Jake was professional and maintained great communication. I would definitely hire him again."
"Brian Boss and his crew are professional, friendly and have gone out off their way to do everything requested and more. I will be using them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs quality professionals Thank you crew!!! ?"
"We have a new retaining wall that will withstand an earthquake. We’re really impressed with the construction of the wall. Plus it was nice to deal with a contractor that does what he says he is going to do. We would use them again if needed & highly recommend them."
"Pohl"s Landscaping did an amazing job of putting river rocks around our pool. They started at 8:00 AM and finished at 10:00 AM. Our house is on a hill so it was not an easy job. The project looks exactly how we envisioned it. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and will surely use them again!"
"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."
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.
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.
You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.
A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
