The larger model ($119.99) has a baffle beneath the feeder in an effort to frustrate squirrels trying to attack it from the ground. There is no overhead protection, so placement would be an important factor here. While the height is adjustable, deer may still be able to reach to feeder ports. So, if you are in a constant battle with the furry population, the squirrel-proof feeders from Droll Yankees may be a better fit for you. Thanks! Ah… the big question!

I is an awsome sight. I live in south central Ontario, and we feed birds all year. We have several different wood peckers feeding all winter.

That's the best measurement! However, if you'd like to be sure, get some actual measurements of your beds and give us a call or email and we'll figure up how much you'd need. Include length and width (in feet) of each area (list each area separately) plus how many inches deep you'd like to go: two inches is recommended. Sweet Peat is $42.00 a cubic yard this year. If you order by April 10th, it is $3.00 off per cubic yard! (You don't have to have it delivered now, just any time before June 30th!) Thanks!

I've always gotten 6 cubic yards for around my home on Pinehurst Drive in Avon Lake-two-story colonial,beds on 3 sides with a few off the house. That's worked in the past. Any suggestions? How much is the Sweet Peat/cu yd? Thanks!! Calculator for mulch is confusing.

We will have "SNOW FOUNTAINS" WEEPING CHERRY, 2 or 3 DWARF FLOWERING CRABAPPLES, "COVEY" WEEPING REDBUD and several varieties of true DWARF JAPANESE MAPLES. Our selection of trees this year is absolutely phenomenal. If you need any more info, don't hesitate to ask. ~ Art Yes, we have several varieties of trees that will fit the bill.

I need a tree that will only grow a maximum of 15 feet. It is for my front yard.....I live next to High Tension Wires and they cut down my beautiful tree a few years back. I'd like to plant something in it's place which they say can not exceed 15 feet. Any other suggestions would be helpful for this Spring. Thank you for any help.
