"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."

"Jimmy and his team were able to haul in decorative rock for our flower beds and dug out a walkway leading to the back yard so we can do a concrete sidewalk. Hard workers!"

"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 did a great job of trimming our bushes in front of our house. The cost was a little high, though, in our opinion. He quoted $225 for the job and indicated it would take about 2 to 3 hours. It ended up taking maybe an hour and 15 minutes, but the cost was unchanged."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

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. 

Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.

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.
