"I have been utilizing Natural Landscaping for several years - top notch quality. Henry and his team are fast, considerate of my house and the results are always as promised or better!! Henry takes the time to explain what realistically can be done and how it will all look afterwards. I recently had turf put in the backyard and rock landscaping in the front. - looks beautiful. He has also put in bushes/trees in the past for me. I trust them 100% and would recommend all day long!"
"No job is too small. Instead of requiring a minimum dollar amount Cruz quoted me a fair price for my 130sqft yard. My yard is beautiful now! They installed artificial grass/turf and put my pergola together! I would recommend this family business to anyone doing landscaping."
"Great! MG Landscaping did an excellent job. They bought in boulders and shrubs; planted and it all looks very good. Both front and back yard landscaping. I would definitely use them again."
"Daniel and his crew arrives right on time as agreed upon. They installed the lawn irrigation system and laid the sod, The yard looks great!!! I highly recomend D&D Tree Services and Landscaping. It was.impressiveive to watch them put it all together."
"I hired Dave Rite Landscaping to do my back yard and they did a phenomenal job. Dave the contractor was there all the time the project was being done. I would recommend Dave Rite to anyone and anybody I know. Very great company and workers."
"Rich and his team were amazing. In about a week they complete landscaped our backyard. Neighbors up and down the street came by to see the work and all were impressed. We will be calling them back for front yard landscaping next. Great work. Couldn’t be happier."
"We are so happy with our new side patio thanks to Living Designs! Ann, Jeff, and the crew were so easy to work with, very communicative, and got the job done on schedule and within our budget. We really appreciated Jeff's eye for design and attention to details. He was helpful in explaining our options and also providing guidance when we weren't entirely sure what would be best for our yard. Really impressed with this team's work and would absolutely hire them back for another job!"
"Geovanny and his entire team were so amazing to work with on our retaining wall replacement and rock landscape job. Very professional and very efficient and they do incredible work. Highly recommend!!!"
"Unbelievable experience with Rock N Block. We went back and forth for a while on if we wanted to do turf or just continue to try and grow grass in our small front yard. Ultimately, the dog tracking in mud this spring was a breaking point for us and we contacted Rock N Block. We started working with Paul, who walked us through the process and gave us a ton of ideas on how best to implement not only the turf, but other pieces of our yard as well. After we pulled the trigger on the turf, Paul was in close contact with us on the next steps and connected us with Chris, who came over for final measurements and day-of logistics. When it finally came to the day-of, Chris was on site with the crew and we were so happy with the speed, efficiency, and quality of the work. Tony, the crew lead, was amazing throughout the day and walking us through everything as they worked. Overall can’t recommend enough!"
Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.
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.
The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.
Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.
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.
In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.
