"So easy to work with and incredible communication; I've had such a positive experience with Zehr's Flowers I had to make the time to share my experience here. They listen, they're creative, and they stay on time and on budget. Zero sales pressure, just great listening skills and expertise. Derek is such a great person to collaborate with - he created a design that brought the yard to life and required little maintenance on our end (I needed something my busy parents didn't have to tend to all the time but still had lots of colors). My parent's front yard went from blah to beautiful in a day. In fact, they just came for the annual maintenance/spring clean-up they offer to all clients. It's really been a beautiful transformation, and I hope you'll check them out. You'll be happy you did! I know I am."

"I had this service come in January and clean through my house. They did a deep clean on 2 of my rooms and dusted and cleaned the other rooms. I will have them come again when the weather is better."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.
