"Olympus Landscapes and Perfections has completely transformed our yard and it looks incredible now. They installed sod, a large flagstone path, a paver pad, playground mulch, fire pit with a flagstone patio, fountains, retaining walls, plants, mulch, and playground mulch. Corey is extremely hardworking, honest, reliable, and a very talented landscape designer. They've exceeded my expectations."

"Hunter reviewed our plans and made some additional recommendations. We still owned the process and he did his best to create our vision out of hardscape material. He was prompt to come out and gave a very detailed estimate, breaking down materials and service. There was no doubt what was included in the quote. There were other firms that quoted the project at a lower price that did not get the job because their quote was too ambiguous. When it came to the installation, they were prompt, detailed and clean. Within three days they were complete. At the end of each workday the cleaned up and left the site presentable. We received great value and great service. We are delighted with HDR Landscaping’s work and highly recommend them"

"I purchased this landscape design package through Groupon. They came to my house three times: the first was to get an idea of what I wanted and to take photos of and measure the areas. They showed me the images during the second visit and asked if they needed to be changed. I received a quote for the work during the third visit, as well as digital images. They did not pressure me into purchasing landscape services and were very good about telling me which services should be performed by other companies because it would be less expensive to do so.

"When a storm came through, a tree fell on top of our cars and left a huge mess. My neighbor had been using Matt with JH Lawn Care for years and told me to give him a call. I called Matt the next morning, explained what had happened, and he immediately headed our way. Even though it was emergency work, his pricing was very reasonable. My insurance adjuster actually had to move things around because Matt already had his tree crew on the way. They were at my house by mid-morning, and by that afternoon the tree was gone and everything was cleaned up. Matt and his crew were friendly, professional, and worked incredibly hard. They made a stressful situation so much easier to deal with, and I couldn't have asked for better service. I would definitely recommend JH Lawn Care to anyone who needs tree work or lawn care."

"I originally wanted shrubs trimmed back, but changed my mind when I saw how massive the shrubs had become. The shrubs covered the entire first floor windows, doors, and part of the second floor windows. When he arrived to the job site, he was more than accommodating when I changed the plan to have the shuns cut down. It was a great decision and now the front of my house is visible, giving it a much cleaner look. I am very pleased!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting.
