Snow Removal, Plowing & Sanding Services

Snow removal is really a necessary job when you own a home on Cape Cod. Even if it is only a vacation home, it should be plowed out after a good snowstorm to allow access for fire trucks. Unfortunately, the larger your property, the more snow you will have to remove. If it’s really wet, heavy snow, consider hiring a snow removal contractor to take care of it for you. On the other hand, if it’s a light fluffy snow, you may be able to handle it yourself without too much trouble.

Landscaping Ideas for a Cape Cod Home

Need ideas for landscaping your Cape Cod home? Before tackling your Cape Cod landscaping project you will need to create an overall plan of action and factor in the costs involved with your landscaping ideas along with any budget constraints.

There are many options available for you to create a quality Cape Cod landscape in your yard, so you need to have a basic design and layout idea to get started with your landscape project. The area you wish to landscape may also determine exactly what you can do with it. For example, what types of plantings will thrive in this location, the grade of the area, the soil type and the amount of sunlight the area gets.

Getting to the root of lawn grub problems

You water, fertilize and give your lawn all the TLC it needs, yet come late-summer you still find unsightly brown patches scattered across the turf. If the turf in these spots can easily be pulled away from the ground, you most likely have a grub problem.

And chances are if you don’t act quickly these voracious pests may spread and cause significant damage to your lawn. Throughout the Northeast and Midwest, grubs damage lawns by burrowing underground and feasting on the roots of healthy grass. Nearly all lawns in these areas have some grubs.

Retaining Wall Construction and Design

Before you build or design your retaining wall you need to have a good look at the site, the soil conditions, any water drainage issues and what the final grade should be. These factors will be critical in the design of your retaining wall system.

Retaining walls on Cape Cod are commonly built with railroad ties, pressure treated wood, interlocking concrete blocks, poured concrete, dry stacked stones, stone or brick and mortar and cobblestones.

Five steps to prep your mower and yard for Spring

With weather warming up after the long winter, it’s time to get back outside and start working in the yard again. Before you fire up the mower for the first cut, it’s important to prepare the unit with a few maintenance steps.

“If you didn’t properly winterize your mower last year, it’s important to spend time at the start of the season with your equipment,” says Jessica Gardner of MTD Products Inc, a global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. “This will prevent many common malfunctions, keep it running better, and help prolong the life of the mower.”

Expert Tips for Creating a Beautiful Landscape this Spring

It may be cold outside, but homeowners are already dreaming of creating beautiful garden settings around their homes come spring. Landscaping success doesn’t have to be hit or miss, and if it has been for you, it may be time to call in a professional landscape designer.

Why? Because in the long run, hiring a landscape designer can cost less than doing it yourself. You’ll get a “doable” design created right the first time, saving you the cost of repeated tries at getting it right or planting the wrong plants in the wrong spots.

Landscaping Can Provide Big Return on Investment

According to a Clemson University study, landscaping around your home can provide 100 percent or more return on investment. The Clemson study reports that the initial cost for landscaping is about 10 percent of the home’s value, while a quality landscaped yard will provide a 13 percent to 17 percent increase in resale value.

However, a homeowner’s ability to ensure this kind of return on their investment depends heavily on selecting the right landscape contractor and using quality materials like interlocking concrete pavers or segmental retaining walls.
