Landscaping Questions
At Dream-yard, we have received a lot of direct landscaping questions since we began. Until now, the answers have only been available to those that have asked the question. After looking at so many of these great questions, we realized that there was value in making the answers available to everyone.
We decided we needed a more formal and interactive option for our visitors to connect them to the information they need.
We now have one more great resource that will help do-it-yourselfers to successfully complete their projects. We want you to achieve the landscaping results that inspired you to take on your project in the first place.
For those of you that have a talent for landscaping, you will be able to help others with their projects.
You can use the comment field on the question page to contribute your landscaping answers.
We ask that you be respectful, polite, and helpful, or your comments will not be posted for others to see. Thanks
Here are the two options to find the answers to your questions.
- The first and fastest way is to use the search box below. This will search the Dream-yard site for related information that we already have posted. Chances are pretty good that it may either be in one of our how-to modules, a previous question, or one of our landscaping articles.
If you don't find what you are looking for this way, then please proceed to option #2.
- The second option is for people that couldn't find what they were looking for with a site search. You can ask your specific question below, and we will do our best to get to your question as quickly as possible.
Our response time is usually within 1 or 2 days, but please allow up to 3 days. If you have not heard from us by then, we may not have received your request.
Need to ask your landscaping question? Please fill out the form below.
You also have the option of uploading pictures. Remember that a picture speaks a thousand words and may help us better understand your situation. Please be patient and we’ll do our best to answer you as quickly as we can.
We would love to hear your insight to any posted questions. This can be done by using the comment section that follows the question.
