We do not want to mow your lawn. :) We do not want to clean your gutters. :) We do want to plow snow in the winter. :) What do want to do is to help make your outdoor spaces gorgeous and enjoyable for you and the family. The most common services we provide are landscape design, grading, tree work, and implementation. Often the property needs to better graded and have trees cut or limbed to increase sunlight. Once those are addressed - the fun can begin!!! It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. We have a direct and practical approach to each project.
"Our project involved growing a nice lawn where we had lots of moss and bare space and had failed in previous efforts, removing damaged or overgrown shrubs and replacing them with new plantings, and nice edging all around. Edison Chae (the owner) listened to what we wanted, made good suggestions, submitted a proposal that was reasonably priced, and did what he promised and more for the proposal price. He and his crew were pleasant and professional. They left the site clean. He even went with us to a wholesale garden company to select new plantings that would work well on our property and please us. Thr crew improved the working of our sprinkler system by relocating or repairing some sprinklers and adjusting all of them to give us better watering coverage. They also removed some tree limbs where we needed more sunlight. Finally, he came back to overseed any areas that had not come in so well."

The optimal planting season for hedges depends on your climate zone, but early spring and fall offer ideal conditions. Spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat arrives, while fall planting gives plants time to develop root systems before winter dormancy.
In milder climates, winter planting can work well, but avoid periods of extreme temperature or drought regardless of season to give your new hedge the best chance of successful establishment.
Proper spacing depends on the hedge variety and your desired outcome. Most hedge plants perform best when spaced between one and three feet apart. Fast-growing species need more room between plants to accommodate their eventual spread and allow for proper air circulation.
For immediate privacy, you might place plants closer together, but this approach can create competition for nutrients and may affect long-term health. Always check the specific spacing recommendations for your chosen hedge variety.
The time required for a hedge to form an effective privacy screen varies by plant type and initial size. Most hedges take between two and five years to develop full density when started with smaller plants. Fast-growing varieties like privet may establish more quickly, while slower-growing species like boxwood require additional patience.
Starting with larger plants reduces waiting time but increases initial costs. Regular watering, appropriate fertilization, and proper pruning techniques can help accelerate growth and density development.
For rapid privacy screening, consider fast-growing hedge options like privet, which can grow up to three feet annually in ideal conditions. Arborvitae varieties add approximately two feet of height per year and provide excellent year-round screening. Other quick-growing options include certain varieties of cypress and juniper.
While these fast-growing species provide quicker results, they require more frequent maintenance and may have shorter overall lifespans than slower-growing alternatives.
Most residential hedge planting projects don't require permits, but regulations vary by location. Some municipalities enforce height restrictions for hedges, particularly those along property lines or near roadways. If your planned hedge will exceed these height limitations, permits may be necessary.
Additionally, homeowners' association rules might govern hedge placement, species selection, and maintenance standards. Checking local regulations and HOA requirements before planting helps avoid potential complications and expenses.
