"Awesome experience, can't say enough!!! Very responsive, and he was at the house within 20 minutes of us requesting a quote for hauling away a large load of brush and debris. Once we agreed on a price, he was back with the trailer within an hour and loaded it all up. This was on a Saturday at 9:30 at night, and also Memorial Day weekend. Whenever I need lawncare, landscaping, or anything related to that, I know who to call. As a small business owner myself, I appreciate the responsiveness, fair price, honesty, and hard work. Especially with how hard it is to find reliable work these days. If you go anywhere else you are making a mistake. Best company on the Lynchburg area!!!"

"Father Paver did a highly professional and superb job build an in-ground firepit and patio for my yard. They were very meticulous to meet my specifications and expectations and it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend them, and I intend on using them in the new year for follow-on work in other parts of my property."

"Punctual and quick. My yard was a mess and Jimmy had it looking prestine in 2 days flat. Cleaned up all the weeds and overgrowth, landscaped and mulched, even got our garden titled and ready for planting. I'm amazed at what a difference he made in our yard in such a short amount of time. He went over and beyond and even hauled away some old stuff for us. Very impressed and highly recommend American Vets Lawn Care!"

"We were looking to have landscape lighting installed at our residence and received two quotes. We met and discussed the job with Daniel and received a quote from Blue Ridge Landscape Lighting. Their competitor's quote was significantly higher, and had what we felt were forced on-going maintenance fees, currently at around $500 per year. In order to get their lights, the competitor's contract required this maintenance. We made the decision to contract with Blue Ridge Landscape Lighting, and we could not be happier. Daniel kept us updated throughout the project and even completed the job ahead of schedule. The end result was beautiful. It is exactly what we wanted. Blue Ridge Landscape Lighting was found to be reliable and trustworthy. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a quality product at a reasonable price. We have no regrets on selecting this company."

Landscaping FAQs, 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.

Yes, landscaping costs are generally a worthwhile investment that can increase your property value. Landscaping can boost your home's value by up to 30% by improving its curb appeal, which can help it sell faster and for a higher price. Specific projects have a high return on investment (ROI); for example, revamping a front walkway can offer a 100% ROI, while a pristine, well-manicured lawn can deliver an impressive 217% ROI. In addition to the financial returns, you also get to enjoy the improvements, especially with features like an outdoor living area.

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.

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.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.
