"Very good company that took a lot of pride in their work. I needed a section of my yard cleared of all brush and overgrowth in an area about 1/2 acre in size. They showed up ready to work and within 2 days they had torn everything out, hauled it away, and laid down 40 yds of topsoil and graded it out to a nice finished product ready for grass seed. They went above and beyond by cutting back the edges of the yard to a manageable distance to the property line, and by pulling all the vines and growth that had grown up the side of the garage down and getting rid of as well. There were even 2 large oak tree trunks that had been cut down and left the year before that they were able to cut up and remove as well (these were at least 50-60 year old trees, so 3-3.5 foot diameter trunks). The price was much higher than I thought it would be, which is why I'm not giving 5 stars across the board, but they offered easy to use financing options and the end result is fantastic."

"Brent and his partner were incredible on a tough installation of problematic storm doors (thanks Larson), and two new ceiling fans. They worked tirelessly in the 90+, 80% humidity, were thorough, and best of all really nice. I’m getting them again in a couple of years when we redo a bathroom!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

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.

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.
