Customers say: Quick response

"Two years ago I started working on this project. Found companies and called. Only one person called back. Got frustrated and quit. The yard and shed just kept getting flooded every time it rained. So I decided to try again to find a company who could fix my drainage problem. Got on Angie List/Homeadvisor for recommendations. KVB called and set up to come out. They were wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Got back within the week with an assessment. Got 3 assessments KVB was the best. Contracted with them. As soon as the weather broke they were out. Gene did an excellent job and even helped with digging a small pool for me. If you need an excavator this is the company to use. They are the best. I feel so lucky to have found them. I highly refer them. They certainly are a + 5."

"I hired Cole McPeek to do some minor grading, spreading new topsoil and seeding within my backyard area. Cole was easy to work with and handled my request very professionally. He kept in contact through the scheduling process and completed the work in a professional and timely manner. He also followed up to make sure I was happy with the results. I am happy to recommend him for this type of work. Thanks again Cole for a job well done! Gary Davis"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

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.
