"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

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. 

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.
