"I recently had a paver walkway installed, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! From start to finish, Nathan was professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. He took the time to make sure everything was done right, and it really shows in the final result. The walkway completely transformed the look of our space — clean, beautiful, and built to last. He showed up on time, kept everything neat, and was great to work with throughout the whole process. If you’re thinking about upgrading your outdoor space, I highly recommend New England Outdoor Living. Quality work like this is hard to come by!"

"I needed to replace the front steps because they were pulling away from the foundation. I received several quotes and Republic Masonry (Henry) came in with a budget friendly price. Henry and his co-worker were professional and very detail oriented and cleaned up when the job was complete. The stairs look wonderful! I would highly recommend Republic Masonry (Henry) for all your cement projects. Kathy Faye"

"After spending a year trying to get someone to remove a pile of dirt from our yard we found Jason at Jade Construction! Let me preface this by saying we had 3 out of about 20 contractors actually contact us and say they would give us a quote but never actually did and just completely ignored us. Jason not only has fair prices, kept in contact and provided a quote when he said he would, he also showed up on time and did the work at the quoted price! Highly recommend Jade Construction!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

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.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

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.
