"From the initial encounter for an estimate to the finished product, Matt and his team did not disappoint. Matt was on-time, provided a timely estimate and worked with me to accommodate a busy schedule in order to get the job done. His team, headed by Jason was courteous and hard-working. The result was a cleaned up yard, pruned shrubs and a cleanly mulched yard transforming my once overgrown yard into a picture-worthy oasis."

"We have used Jeff for about four years now and his team does a great job on landscaping and tree service. They always meet with me in advance to go over everything and then provide a quote. The work is always performed in a professional manner and when the jobs are complete my place looks great. I did not put the pricing in my review, because each of the jobs planned and performed over the past four years was different."

"Absolutely fantastic experience. I am completely and totally satisfied with the work done. We had a brand new front walkway installed and then the entire front yard landscaping mulched. This has given us gorgeous curb appeal and brought new life to the front of our house. We purchased the home a year ago and the 44 year old pavers that were there were beyond tired looking. I cannot get over the amazing transformation from the work done. The work was done in the most professional manner. After the work was completed everything was fully cleaned up. I am beyond pleased and the work has exceeded my expectations. Thank you ZJs for outstanding work!"

"We had a above ground pool installed late summer and needed edging and grass seeding done. Groundscape was fast responding and had everything done in 2 weeks. The landscaping looks great. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for more upcoming projects."

"Three Mountain Landscaping is wonderful! We used them to do a major clearing and clean-up on our wooded property. We bought this property and the yard had been neglected for years. Branches, leaves, and debris had piled up everywhere. The crews were hardworking, polite, and communicative. They were extremely effective."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

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.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

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.
