Landscaping in Hamilton: Why it’s Pleasing to People and the Planet

Landscaping is nothing short of a science that has been elevated to an art form.

It takes careful planning and execution to achieve a particular landscape effect, as Shelley Frost explains in an article posted in Homeguides.SFGate.com: Landscaping a yard requires an upfront financial investment that ranges from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars depending on how you landscape. Even after the initial investment, homeowners incur upkeep costs including watering, replacing plants, sealing wood decks and buying chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers.
