- JKJen KOct 9, 20255.0Switched to Vera after the lawn season started when the company I was using folded. Couldn't be happier with their service! The work is always done quickly, carefully and everyone in person and on the phone has been so friendly. My favorite thing is their billing system. It's been the easiest, most professional billing system I've ever seen with a landscape company. It makes it so easy to see when my lawn care appointments are scheduled, when my invoices are due and where to download my receipts. So much stress and worry off my shoulders! Super excited to hire you for next season!

Frequently Asked Questions About VLC Vera Landscaping & Snow Removal
Are you licensed/insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
How do I water my new trees, shrubs and flowers?
Water thoroughly right after planting, allowing it to soak in before watering again. For the first few weeks, water deeply every other day. Use a slow stream from a hose at the base of each plant until a small pool forms, then move to the next. This encourages deep root growth. After the first week, reduce to 2-3 times weekly, depending on local weather. Don't forget to water well just before the ground freezes in late fall.
What is the best time of year for landscape installation?
Spring is generally considered the optimal season for landscape installation.
What is the benefit of adding mulch to flower beds?
Mulching offers several advantages: it helps soil retain moisture, improves soil health as it decomposes, suppresses weed growth by blocking sunlight, can repel insects depending on the type used, and aids in controlling soil erosion.
What is landscaping vs. hardscaping?
Landscaping encompasses the overall design and construction of outdoor spaces, including both hardscaping and softscaping elements. Hardscaping involves non-living features like stone walls, decks, and firepits. Softscaping refers to living elements such as plants, as well as soil grading and mulching. At VLC Vera Landscaping & Snow Removal, we provide both hardscaping and softscaping services across Clinton, Ingham, and Eaton counties in Michigan.
How do I permanently get rid of weeds?
While complete eradication is challenging, you can significantly reduce weeds by: applying a thick layer of mulch in garden beds, using a weed preventer like Preen, pulling weeds entirely including roots when they appear, and applying commercial herbicides or vinegar for weeds in pavement cracks. Be cautious, as herbicides can affect all plants, not just weeds.
