"I've been extremely happy with Angelo and his team since 2018, when he fixed a significant drainage problem in our backyard that a $45,000 "professional" company was unable to solve. They have since done our lawn care, landscaping, and snowplowing and have never ever let us down. Reliable, easy to work with, and a helluva nice guy. Highly recommended."

"White Garden Designs is the Best!! I have used him for at least 10 years now and nobody cares more or is more detail oriented than Charlie. I have recommended him and his company to dozens of friends and everyone was as pleased as I am. They always show up on time and if there is ever a problem (which I haven't had) they will always make it right. He takes pride in his work and it shows. He also is a Koi pond specialist, designing and maintenance. This man does it all. He is the go to guy for all your landscaping and pond needs."

"Jorge and crew from Greenscape Lawn Care provided excellent customer service including prompt & friendly communication, fair and upfront pricing, & efficient completion of the project. Jorge listened to my vision and was dedicated to making my vision to come to life. He provided quick digital mockups of my design using pictures of my space. It was the best way to determine the details of my design preferences. The team provided helpful feedback of my design through the whole process. Their quality of work is gold standard, they do not cut corners on any detail. Their work ethic is excellent and their dedication to a projects success is apparent at every step of the process. We are so happy with our new space and receive compliments on it daily from our neighbors and friends."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

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.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.
