"Excellent! Dan was quick to respond to my request. We had a major backyard landscape overhaul last year after having approx 20 diseased trees removed. We hired a professional landscaper to bring more design to the existing mess that was created. Our previous woods was transformed into a park like effect surrounding our waterfall. The existing lighting did nothing to accent the backyard, Dan literally transformed the picture showcasing our waterfall, newly installed pine trees and native trees to create a serene peaceful space to enjoy our new landscape in the evenings. Dan was prompt, working within my timeframe and keeping me informed of the project and his schedule up to installation. Thank you Dan...you are the MAN!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"They arranged to start the job earlier than estimated and actually finished it before the planned start date. Very professional, good communication, made good suggestions. They even came up with a specially designed coupling to connect to the neighbor's French drains without doing any digging on his property (with permission, of course!)"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

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.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
