"We have a shaded backyard and have had problems for years getting grass to grow. Mike and his crew came and prepared the soil, put down new beautiful sod, created a new flower bed and landscaped it. The result is absolutely beautiful. They are dependable and leave everything clean. I can’t recommend them enough!"
"These guys saved my job and the landscaping too! My boss had been wanting myself and my team to take care of the landscaping for over a year. They came in & removed the birds nest under our site sign, added GREAT mulch, & made sure our landscaping got what it needed (water & love). When we hired them, I literally said “I don’t want my boss to come to town and talk to me about landscaping. I want him to talk to me about BBQ”. Since they’ve started landscaping hasn’t been a part of any conversation my boss and I have. They’re not only good at what they do but, they care as well."

"Outstanding! Mark Patterson was a delight to work with. He was clear on what they would do and fulfilled every promise. The crews were extremely careful when removing the old shrubs. They even avoided any damage to an old concrete curbing system while removing some very large photinias and euonymous. We went to the wholesale nursery, got a design to meet our tastes and picked out the shrubbery. The lawn sprinkler was commercial grade Rain Bird that included freeze and rain sensor and auto drain (no need to winterize and startup in spring). Could not believe how good the yard looked after installation of the new lawn sprinkler system. They surprised us with how much care they took to leave such a little footprint of their work."
"A friendly technician that worked quickly and diligently. Updated electrical panel, fixed outside yard light and installed hard wired smoke detector. Cleaned up job site well. I would highly recommend them."

Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting.
During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.
In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.
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.
Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
