chrisguzman1 asked:


Im planning on going into Landscaping. Im 21 years old, I have no experience in landscaping and currently applied to a position I felt intrested in. I like to move around constantly in a job. I want it to be physical, so I though landscaping was a good choice. Is it possible to move up in a lanscaping job? Any advice out there? Thanks!

I’m wondering if there’s an internet site out there with ideas for landscaping, including pictures and descriptions of many plants (size, shape, etc.)
Is there a site like this out there?

Thanks.

Amy G asked:


I have a large maple tree about 30 years old with a partially exposed root system. It is difficult to mow around the roots and I would like to place landscaping fabric around the tree and cover the fabric with pine straw mulch. Then I could set potted plants around it. The root system is so dense that my attempts with planting hostas and caladiums has been futile.

dierboy asked:


We have some uneven spots in our yard and would like to have some trees planted. We already have red granite along the sides of the house and the garage, but the plastic edging is not straight in some places. Due to very hectice schedules, we are thinking about hiring a professional landscaping service. Just curious if anyone has done that and what the costs might be.

Kalyboo asked:


On both sides of our brick house the land is fairly steep and I would like to do some landscaping next to the house on both sides. I’m unsure how to handle this though because it is so steep and the walls on our house are tall. So, if I plant something too small towards the back of the house it will look odd because the wall goes up so high compared to the ground. Any suggestions on landscape techniques or suggested plants?

carrie love asked:


My husband and I are disagreeing about this. One of us says that it’s not that important. If we make it great on the inside, they won’t care if we have pretty flowers and new mulch. The other one thinks that if the landscaping is not fairly updated (not spectacular, but nice mulch and a few flowers) that people will drive by and not want to come inside. What do you think? Is it that important? Also, are there any sites that tell you how much different improvements that you make to your house will increase it’s value?

jules asked:


I recently put down landscaping pebbles/stone around my house and i like the look of them wet and glossy when i first put them down. Now that they are dried out the color kind of clashes with my brick home. Can i spray a wet glossy sealer on them and mix them around for that look? Will that hurt my plants? PLease help or offer suggestions.

Mystery asked:


I’m wanting to help my friend out, M&+M. She only has one answer, and I don’t francly accept it. She is just curious on what this animal, Serval, needs. She knows about the food, care, treatment, the laws, and most to know, even the two year course you need to take. But even I can’t find a good landscaping company for wild pets. This would really help me and my friend out. Thank you
