"I used HomeAdvisor to find a landscape gardener after previously using two local landscape companies that proved to be very disappointing, with their level of service and the work they did. Harrison Childers, the owner of Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes LLC. called me regarding my inquiry. I had arranged to have them come out and quote me for the job I needed carrying out, along with another company who did not even bother to turn up for their appointment. I found Harrison to be very professional from the onset, he called ahead of time the morning of his appointment to confirm what time he would be with me, and again to say he was running a little late and how far away he was. When he arrived we discussed the project, which was to remove all the pine needles around our property, adding a layer of top soil and then add black mulch. I then received a quote via my email the very next day. The builders did a terrible job of at the back of my garden where conifers where planted. They left a ton of lumpy clay heaped up in piles around the trees, and the ground around them was very uneven. Harrison removed all the old pine needles, leveled it all out and broke up all the clay. They then laid new top soil, and mulch. I also wanted some flower beds widening and all the edges around the garden tidying up. We had some area's that also needed to be repaired with new sod, which Harrison did a lovely job of repairing. The job was completed without being rushed and I was more than satisfied with the work carried out, and how reasonable the price was. Both my husband and I decided to give Harrison the work due to his impeccable manners, and because we could tell from speaking with him how passionate he was about his work. I am a little OCD and that didn't faze him one bit. He worked very hard to make my garden look picture perfect. I am now looking forward to planting up my boarders, which now look amazing, with beautiful deep clean, straight edges. We will definitely be using Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes in the future for all our garden maintenance, throughout the coming year. I would not hesitate to recommend Level Cut Lawn & Landscapes to anyone who is looking for a landscape gardener who takes pride in his work, and his company's good reputation."

"I recently hired this pro and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. They were punctual, professional, and paid great attention to detail. The crew transformed my yard completely—everything from trimming to planting was done with care and precision. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after the job. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services"

Small jobs welcome

"my paint was peeling off the wainscotting and he came and found a solution to the bond the paint to the wainscotting and repainted my entire large family room. He was precise and got the job done quickly. He cleaned everything up and moved back the furniture. I am very happy with the job! It came out better than the previous professional painter I had hired. I wish he would have done the original job. He also did small odd jobs such as mulching and it was done quickly as well."

"We have hired George Daniels and his son at New Beginings Landscaping to do a lot of work for us over the past 15 years. They do outstanding work, are always on time and always go above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. They recently planted 4 10 foot Nellie Stevens Hollies, 2 Camellias, a number of encore azaleas as well as a number of foundation plantings around our new patio. They also remulched our backyard natural areas. I would not hire anyone else for landscaping work. They are a pleasure to work with and never disappoint.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

The rules and regulations regarding groundwater use vary between states. To find out if you can dig a well on your property, you’ll have to consult these regulations, address any compliance requirements, and get the appropriate permits. It’s also important to check that your intended location has the right geology and water table to support a well.

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.
