"I can’t say enough good things about Swannys LawnCares junk removal services. I had TONS of junk that had accumulated over many years of Hording. The neighbors called the police on me several times and were threatening to evict me because it smelled so bad. Due to disabilities I have (extremely obese and functioning schizophrenia) I was unable to remove the junk myself. Every other company I called refused to give me their service because of how bad it smelled and their worries about hazards associated with it. BUT Swannys Lawncare did it no problem and I think actually enjoyed it!! The best!!!"

"The Marlowe crew did a beautiful job on our patio extension and fire pit. They stayed in touch with us on every detail and made sure that our expectations were met. We made a change or two after the project was underway and Jake and his crew were very accommodating. These guys showed up on time, were courteous and kept our yard as neat as possible while they were working. We will consider Marlowe’s We Care Company for future improvements to our home. Ray and Sheree Mosby"

"David was amazing, efficient, friendly, and great with communication. His response time is stellar. My daughter and I have severe environmental allergies, so we need help mowing the lawn. With the rain our lawn got long. We were able to mow our front yard, with our electric mower, but my daughter got sick from her allergies. I have a rare nerve disease which disables me, so after we finished the front neither of us could start our back yard. With all the rain, our first scheduled ti.e got rained out. David contacted me promptly in the morning to reschedule. He confirmed when he was on his way, when he arrived and when he was finished. That was the best service I've had in the year that we've been here. Other contractors are either 3 hours late, no communication or spend their time trying to get you into a contract that you don't need. He just came and got it done. So refreshing! I wish we found him sooner. I will definitely recommend him to my neighbors and hire him again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.
