"I am so ecstatically happy with the landscaping pros! They did everything I asked them to do. They worked so hard. There was a lot of work to do, but they worked professionally. They were friendly and very efficient. I will recommend them to all of my friends and family. I will definitely do business with them again."
"I have used Di Scala General Contractors for many different projects over the years - interior painting, finishing a basement, building a deck, mowing, plowing and most recently a living room renovation. This family room renovation involved tearing out wood paneling, installing drywall, rerouting radiators and building built-in bookcases. The crews are always diligent, careful, clean and polite. I highly recommend Di Scala General Contracting."
"This was a terrific experience. Everything went as planned. The crew arrived on time for every appointment and completed the work on schedule. Communication via email, text, and phone was terrific. The price was fair with no surprises. While on the property, they were polite and considerate of my neighbors and pets. They offered ideas for the best layout and care of the patio. They worked with a sense of urgency. I would hire them again."
"Excellent service! Highly recommend! David was prompt and very professional. We had damage to our gutters from strong wind gusts. David sent a handy man the same day we called, they repaired the damage quickly, and it was excellent work! Highly reliable!"
"3-D Masonry did an excellent job removing our old patio and prepping the area where our old above ground pool and pool deck were. They then built a beautiful new patio and outdoor kitchen and poured footings for a pavilion. The work was done with a strong attention to detail and quality. Pricing was extremely competitive and we are very pleased with the final product and would use 3-D Masonry again."
"Alex removed our existing concrete patio, installed a paver patio, and rebuilt a stone wall. He and his crew were courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, paying great attention to detail. Alex was also very accommodating, meeting us at a stone yard to help pick out materials. We highly recommend Alex Masonry and would definitely hire them again."
"Jimmie and his crew arrived early and began work. They completely redid 2 retaining walls and two sets of stone stairs. The work was excellent. The price was reasonable and fair. They were clean and efficient and we recommend them without hestitation. Our neighbors saw the work and hired him on the spot. Great Job jimmie!!"
"General masonry was very knowledgeable , professional and capable. Andi and his men were not only skilled craftsmen but were very easy to work with. They built a beautiful walkway with decorative stone landscaping. They even returned two days later, without additional cost, to wash the pavers and deck as well as make sure everything was perfect. We are very happy with their meticulous and caring work ethic and would certainly use them again."
It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.
Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

Recommendations for specific plants and trees
The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.
