"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."

"Eric and his guys did a great job. First thing I noticed is Eric is extremely responsive and prompt. Second thing is he explained everything in depth with options. Finally the job itself was great. I had a backyard that had pretty much turned into a mess from mud and poor drainage. Water would just sit for weeks on end to the point that it would start to stink. He made several drainage adjustments to my back yard to include installing a french drain and then I had a hardscape patio installed in place of the the constant sloppy mud I have had for years. The finished product was great I certainly would give it 5 stars and recommend him."

"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."

"Brent Tucker and his crew showed up at nine in the morning. They went right to work corralling the leaves into a gigantic pile from all parts of the yard. Then gave the leaves to the vacuum machine. By two in afternoon the leaves were gone and the yard was sparkling. I'd hire Brent Tucker and his crew in a heartbeat."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

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.

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.
