I would like a free estimate on how much it would cost to regrade the front yard (it is mostly flat but does not drain away from the house), put in car pads on each side of the driveway (preferably in stamped concrete, it's a duplex), and move some trees from too close to the house. Thanks!

Starting from scratch. Bought a forclosure one year ago with poorly maintained/designed landscaping. Would like boulders and shade trees, possibly a dry creek. Yard is smallish/medium in size. Built on a small hill, may need a retaining wall?

Sprinkler Systems
Sprinkler systems have been acknowledged as the best method of ensuring an equal and optimum supply of water to every inch of your lawn and garden. Sprinkler systems can be of two types -- spray heads and rotor heads. Spray heads can either be hidden in the ground, popping out only when the sprinkler system is switched on, or they can remain visible above the ground even when the sprinkler is not activated. Spray heads release a large quantity of water in a short span of time, making them perfect for even surfaces. Rotor heads are better suited to slopes, because they release water more uniformly.
Home irrigation systems can also come in the form of automatic irrigation systems. These may cost more, but come with added features like allowing you to control the amount of water that is released in a specific area of the garden. Home owners who travel frequently are likely to benefit from having an automatic sprinkle system that can be timed to release water at pre determined times of the day. The kind of soil that your garden has will also determine the kind of home sprinkler system you need to install. For instance, sandy soil tends to be porous and water can quickly penetrate through these pores leading to a massive waste of water. In the case of clay type soil, water needs to be delivered at frequent intervals with a gap in-between to allow the water to soak through into the earth.
