Our goal is to create exceptional landscapes which will last for years to come, while at the same time backing our service with ongoing support and guidance, at a competitive rate.
"Craig did landscaping and installed a paver patio at my residence in which they did a phenomenal job. However I also had a lawn irrigation system installed which is where things went down hill. The gentlemen who installed it was friendly and on time but he installed the solenoid valve incorrectly for the drip hose on my arborvitaes. He had the on/off wires crossed. Although the system said the unit was running, no water was being supplied to them. They of course ended up dying. I thought maybe it was the soil. So I had the arborvitaes replaced by Craig for a few. These died too. Today I decided to replace the valve and that is when I discovered the solenoid wires were crossed. No testing was ever done on the irrigation system. I’m a bit disappointed in the oversight. Otherwise I do recommend this business for all other work. Stay away from lawn irrigation."

"DO NOT hire Dan Ford aka Dan the Handyman. I hired him to install a stone walkway and it is a complete disaster. The workmanship is terrible. The walkway is falling apart, breaking and lifting and is a trip hazard. I had to take him to court to get my payment refunded. I was awarded the judgment, but Dan Ford has NOT paid. I ended up having to file a transcript of judgment with the County Court and have a lien placed on him and his business. He still has NOT paid. Do NOT hire Dan Ford aka Dan the Handyman."

Most residential lawn removal projects don't require permits, but regulations vary significantly between municipalities. You might need authorization when removing substantial soil volumes or making major landscape alterations. Contact your local building department or planning office before beginning work. Some homeowners associations also maintain specific landscaping requirements that could affect your plans, so reviewing any applicable community guidelines is equally important.
Converting removed lawn material into compost is often feasible when the grass hasn't received extensive chemical treatments. For best results, break larger sod pieces into smaller sections and combine them with other compostable materials in a dedicated composting system. Regular turning accelerates decomposition and produces nutrient-rich material that can benefit your new landscape. This approach reduces disposal costs while creating valuable soil amendments for future gardening projects.
Using a mechanical sod cutter delivers the most efficient results for most properties. These specialized machines cleanly separate grass and shallow roots from the soil below, allowing for rapid removal across substantial areas. While manual approaches cost less initially, they progress much more slowly. Chemical methods require extended time periods for complete effectiveness. For optimal efficiency, evaluate equipment rental costs against professional service rates, particularly for medium to large properties.
New plantings can begin one to two weeks after lawn removal, provided you've addressed any soil contamination concerns and completed necessary grading or amendments. The removal process often disturbs dormant weed seeds, so monitoring for unwanted growth during this transition period is advisable. Professional soil testing helps identify any nutrient deficiencies or pH imbalances that should be corrected before investing in new plantings or turf installation.
Lawn removal frequently alters how water moves across your property, particularly during heavy rainfall. Established grass root systems help stabilize soil and absorb precipitation, functions that disappear with removal. Your replacement landscape plan should address potential drainage changes through appropriate grading, soil amendments, or dedicated drainage features. Observing water movement patterns after removal provides valuable information for addressing any problematic areas before completing your new landscape installation.
