"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!!!"

"Not only was my landscaping job completed as requested, these two gentlemen listened carefully to my requests and diligently, completed the task in a timely manner. I now have a space cleared of brush, weeds, and even poison ivy. A space ready for my future plans. Crisp Cut’s business card is one I will keep. These two gentlemen were respectful and professional from greeting to task completion."

"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

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.
