Beth Peden posted a blog postDrought resistant ground cover
Hi, i need a suggestion for ground cover that will help stop the erosion. We have a "basement garage" with a steep entrance going into it, and some full size basement windows. Right now it is an ugly mess, which is a shame because the rest of our home is lovely, IMO. This is on the south side of the house and gets full sun. Oh, and we did not install the landscape fabric, previous owners did that. We are planning to remove the gravel and replace it with sod. (I'm open to other suggestions as far as that goes.). But, in the areas where you can see the erosion, I'd like a little landscaping.I really any appreciate any help with this, we are stumped.…See More

What customers say about "Mark Webber's Landscaping
Mark and Kim,
Thank you so much for all of the hard work the crew did yesterday at my home under not so nice weather conditions. As always, the landscape looks fantastic. Please thank your staff for me too.
This weather is something else! We can certainly be thankful, though, that we are not in Alabama or any of the states hit so hard by the recent tornadoes.
Thanks again; it looks beautiful.
Kathy R. Weisenbach
