"The work was clean. There was some mulch in the yard, but that's nearly unavoidable. Quick, professional service. I'm so grateful that this project was completed timely and affordably. Brent messaged me this morning, and had the team out within a couple hours! Thank you!"

"I recently hired Troy to help level out a large section of my yard, dig deep concrete footers for a gazebo, and assist with some general landscaping work — and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Troy was professional, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed up on time, brought all the right equipment, and got to work immediately. The ground leveling was precise, and the concrete footers were dug exactly to spec — deep, clean, and ready for rebar. His attention to detail and work ethic are top-notch. He also offered helpful recommendations throughout the process, which really improved the outcome of the project. If you’re looking for someone dependable who knows what they’re doing and won’t cut corners, Troy is your guy. I’ll absolutely be using him again for future landscaping and outdoor construction projects."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.
