"We hired Paul for a complete redesign of our exterior spaces, including the pool area, upper terrace, and outdoor kitchen. The “before” looked tired and empty… old tile, no cohesive décor, and a layout that didn’t make the most of the space. Paul completely reimagined the entire outdoor experience. He selected the right plants, furniture, lighting, and layout to bring the space to life. The pool area now looks beautiful, with coordinated seating areas, umbrellas, greenery, and warm lighting that completely changed the atmosphere. The upper terrace (previously unused) is now a beautiful dining and entertaining space that feels cohesive, modern, and welcoming. His taste, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional. He understood our style, maximized the space, and elevated the property far beyond what we expected. The work was efficient, the communication was excellent, and the final result is stunning. We are thrilled and would absolutely hire Paul again without a doubt!"

"I reviewed Brothers Landscaping and Tree Service several years ago, but feel like it needs an updated review from me. Since my last review I have had Sebastian and crew landscape my yard. They did artificial turf with stepping stones, solid artificial turf, several retaining walls, pavers and a rock and sand hardscape feature with a garden path. He installed some french drains and I no longer have water running under my house, even with the two last wet winters we have had. He has also continued to trim my trees. Sebastian's eye for detail is superb and his workers work hard and take pride in their work. I will continue to use Brothers Landscaping for my yard."

We pride ourselves on consistently striving to provide excellent service and client satisfaction.Our team is very knowledgeable about the pruning techniques for all variety of trees.

"I am the President of our 16 unit HOA. We required over 10 very large trees (about 50 ft tall) removed and another 3 very tall trees trimmed. Robin Hilton Professional Land and Tree Maintenance provided a very reasonable estimate and won the bid. Given the scope of work, a team of 14 men showed up and were able to complete the work in one day. They removed debris by mulching it on site and trucking it away. All trees stumps were ground down 18 inches and evidence of trees removed was gone. What amazed me the most was how efficient,  professional and experienced her team was. I was so impressed with the team, I had to buy them lunch. You would be crazy not to hire them. You will be so pleased with their work ethic that you may also consider buying them lunch. There aren't enough stars to rate this business so they get the max!"

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best time to lay mulch depends on the type of mulch and the reason for installing it: 

  • Summer: Adding extra mulch helps soil retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay, allowing plants to thrive. 

  • Fall: Adding mulch helps control weeds and keeps soil and roots warm during the cooler months. Aim to add a layer of mulch 2 to 4 inches deep.

  • Winter: Mulch around perennial plants to help keep them insulated.

  • Spring: Wait until the ground has thawed. Depending on the thickness, add between 1 and 4 inches of mulch to provide freeze and rain protection and enrich the soil.

The right depth depends on your intended use for the area. For instance, pea gravel for walkways and patios typically only needs to be about 2 to 3 inches deep. However, driveways and other areas with heavier loads may require 4 to 6 inches for better stability.

Using sand under stepping stones can be beneficial in certain situations. Sand can help level the ground and provide stability for the stepping stones, especially if the ground is uneven. It also allows for minor adjustments during the installation process. However, sand may not be the best choice for all environments. In areas with high foot traffic or heavy rain, sand may wash away or become displaced, leading to an uneven surface. In such cases, a more stable base material like gravel or crushed stone is preferable. Consider your specific landscape conditions before deciding whether to use sand under stepping stones.

Replace organic mulch every one to two years, depending on the variety. Wood chips and straw, for example, will last a couple of years, while grass clippings and pine needles need replacing every several months. Inorganic mulch—such as rock and rubber chips—can stay in place for up to four years, depending on erosion and general garden upkeep. 

Beyond landscaping, limestone has multiple uses. For example, there are multiple pros and cons to limestone countertops, such as a lower cost compared to other types of stone and heat resistance. Limestone is also a key ingredient in limewash, a type of paint with a chalky texture. Other uses for limestone include siding, retaining walls, and mixed into cement.
