"We had Oscar come to to grade our yard and install a short retaining wall. The price was very reasonable and they were very friendly throughout the process. There were however some parts of the job that we were not super happy about. We asked to have the wall slightly extended after they started digging out, which added a small cost (the cost being totally understandable). The extended section of the wall however is not level at all with the rest of the wall. The biggest part that we were unhappy with was the fill used for the grading. Initially I noticed a large pile of concrete/debris being delivered in the yard. I specifically addressed this stating that we were not comfortable using that as fill given the small depth of the area. After being told it would not be used, we have noticed large (bigger than my head for size reference) pieces of asphalt, huge chunks of glass, and pieces of metal and plastic all throughout the area. To call any of that appropriate for "top soil" would be insane. With a dog and a toddler running around that area, the amount of glass is VERY dangerous. The overall area we had graded was large, but not very deep so all the stones, asphalt, glass, and other debris isn't buried very deep down at all and large surface area."

The optimal timing for bush trimming depends largely on plant variety and growth characteristics. For most deciduous shrubs, late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, provides ideal results. Plants grown primarily for their flowers should be trimmed shortly after blooming concludes to preserve next year's flower buds. During periods of extreme heat or cold, it's advisable to postpone significant trimming to avoid stressing plants when they're most vulnerable.
While tipping isn't generally expected for landscape maintenance services, it's sometimes offered for exceptional work or service. When considering a gratuity, factors like job complexity, attention to detail, and overall professionalism might influence your decision. For larger crews, individual tips of $10 to $20 per worker may be more practical than percentage-based amounts. Always prioritize paying the agreed service price before considering additional gratuities.
Professional trimming can contribute significantly to pest management by eliminating overcrowded growth where insects often shelter and breed. Proper pruning improves air circulation throughout the plant, reducing conditions favorable for fungal diseases and certain insect infestations. Experienced landscapers often identify early signs of pest activity during trimming, allowing for prompt intervention before problems escalate. Some services offer integrated pest management approaches alongside trimming for comprehensive plant health.
Most overgrown shrubs can be successfully rehabilitated through appropriate pruning techniques, though severely neglected specimens may require a phased approach. Professional landscapers evaluate each plant's condition to determine whether gradual reduction or more aggressive rejuvenation pruning would be most effective.
The recovery timeline varies by species, with some showing remarkable improvement within a single growing season while others require multiple years to regain optimal form and health.
