"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!"

"Chris left one of his crew to cut down 5 pine trees and 2 bushes in the backyard. He was very good in taking down the pine trees and cutting down the bushes. They cleaned up the back yard before they left for the day. They came back to take down a spruce tree on the side of the garage and another pine in the front yard. For the amount of work, the value was excellent. Nice job!!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

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.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.
