"The customer rep was friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. The price estimate was on par with other landscapers and sadly did not use the service since we had another company come out to winterize our lawn. I definitely do recommend people to call Dos Amigos especially with the great customer service."

"It was delightful working with Mike. He responded to my initial inquiry promptly and came out within days to look at and estimate the job. He offered several solutions to our drainage/erosion problem. He answered our endless questions patiently and professionally. Basically everything he said happened. Which is pretty refreshing. He started the project, arrived when he said he would finished as planned. He and Bruce were quite neat and organized during the process, it was impressive. Mike goes above and beyond in his workmanship he just knows the right thing to do and we really appreciate the extra care he gave to our home. He seeded part of our yard that used to be a gravel driveway and it looks amazing! I highly recommend Mike, wouldn’t consider anyone else."

"Bernard did a fantastic job on the projects at our house which included repairing and repointing mortar in our front steps and basement cinderblock, and pouring concrete in our toolshed (it only had dirt before). He came right away to do the estimate and started shortly after we hired him. He was very careful about details and made sure everything looked great. Would definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

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.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.

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.

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.
