"I recently had artificial turf installed in my back yard by Intelliturf. It looks amazing!! Because of very large trees and very little sun I could never have grass in my back yard. The turf is perfect, very easy to maintain. Jeff and his crew were professional, hardworking and always pleasant."

Small jobs welcome

I have been working in the tree business for a little over 3 years..been climbing for 2. I worked under a 25+ year climber for most of that time and I have done everything from hazardous tree removal, storm damage, preventative tree maintenance, to simple prune, shape, and thins. I’ve done many beautiful landscape design/installs, stone walls, patios and walkways as well. I reside in Swanton Vermont and have been working around the Franklin, Chittenden, Addison county area, but will make the drive just about anywhere depending on the severity of your need's. I am fully insured don’t hesitate to call, text pictures of your trees/landscaping needs or leave me a message I’m happy to help. I assure you an honest and fair quote, and safe, quality rope work!

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

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.

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.

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.

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.
