• What is the best time to landscape your garden?

  The best time to design your garden is autumn.

Autumn is also the best time to plan your vegetable garden since the soil will be moist and easier to work with than during the summer months.

  For lawn edging, you can use stone, wood, metal, plastic, concrete, brick or even other unique materials. All of those are quality materials that will get the job done so we suggest you choose material that suits your garden and your aesthetics the most.

• Can I edge an uneven lawn?

  If the lawn edges are generally broken, ragged and uneven, you can use a sharp spade or, better still, a half-moon edging iron to re-cut them to shape. To ensure good, straight lines, use a short plank of wood or similar as a cutting guide.

• Why should I hire a professional for lawn care services?

  Lawn care professionals are more efficient, they know which products work, and ultimately they do a better job in a smaller amount of time. If you wish to save some time and have an impeccable looking garden, you should entrust lawn care to a professional.
