"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."

"Trevor was extremely knowledgable, polite, and punctual. He put in some white azalea and orange barbary bushes for me in an area where I had some unsightly golden mops removed. He had done the research to get me the best fit, and he did a great job educating me on their care. 5 gold stars"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

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.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.
