"Chris and his team did an excellent job with removing our old fence and installing a new fence around our yard. We wanted to have an arbor as the entrance to our backyard. I showed Chris some ideas from Pinterest and he came up with a design and built it perfectly. We are so pleased! He was responsive, easy to work with, and fast. I highly recommend him for any fencing or landscaping job."

"We remodeled most of our house this past year since we were working from home and it was long overdue. We had a few decent contractors(and a few not so decent) but the best by far was Hardscapes LLC. Our backyard has a steep hill and the rain has eroded the hill over the years to the point of seeing a lot of tree roots. We also only had about 8 feet of usable yard past the patio that was pea gravel. Hardscapes came in and put a retaining wall that gave us 30 feet of usable yard and a concrete patio. The 5-6 man crew really took their time to make sure everything was done right. They made a mess out of the driveway and street as expected with multiple truckloads of dirt and gravel…but not only did they hose the driveway down, but all 5 guys took 2-3 hours to scrape the compacted dirt from the driveway and the street, and then hose down again. I was planning on buying a power washer when I was done, but it was not needed. And we made no request of the clean up. Adam just said that he hates to leave a mess. Adam was great to work with. Answered calls the same day from start to finish and never took more than an hour or so to answer a text….unheard of these days. It did take them a few months to get started because they were so busy but Adam was very up front about timelines and weather delays. We felt like we got a fair price for the work that was done compared to quotes that we have gotten in the past, but it was a fantastic price when you take into account the service. Adam conducts business the way EVERY contractor should. I just wish he did bathroom remodeling!"

"They started my job and left the next day to start another job. They ended up starting 3 other jobs before completing mine. It ended up taking 9 days to do a 2 day job. I had to keep calling and texting to get them back and finish what they had started, She always had a bunch of excuses of why they needed to go to other location. They ran over and destroyed My shrubbery with there machines and didn't think twice about it . They ground down the stumps and then started chasing the roots with their machine all over my yard. Now my yard looks like a mine field went off and the yard is destroyed. (See pictures ..This was not parts of the work agreement) it is going to cost a small fortune to fix it. They hit the side of my storage building and caused damage. They tried to cover it up with one of their guys forcing the bent piece back in place, When confronted they did admitted it and said that said that one of their tree guys would fix it. I declined their offer after seeing the 1st attempted repair. I had to fix myself. The lead guy calling the shots ( from the top of the trees) on site was contentiously yelling and cussing at the others on the crew. At some points his language would have made a sailor blush. Very, Very unprofessional. I think this could be a Great company if they had a good management team in place. They don't right now. Until they do, RUN"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.
