"Updating Cesar's work over this past winter. He piled the snow up neatly at the top of the driveway out of the way of the car and the house entrances.. There was so much snow at one time the pile was 12 feet high but it did not get in the way of us parking our cars or getting into the house, That's a real expert and he's just as good on the landscaping work. You won't be disappointed if you hire him."

"My yard was absolutely terrible. He came and talked to me about the different possibilities to make my yard look better. He also convinced me to add mulch to my yard and to be quite honest I was very hesitant, but after I gave it thought I decided to go forth. I am so glad that I did! My yard looks 100 times better! They worked fast and have lasting results. He was very responsive very respectful very informative. Thank you so much!! I will definitely be giving referrals, as I am very pleased with my yard. Whenever I am in need of yard work in the future, him and his team will most definitely be my go to. If anyone is looking for an honest landscaper, Al is your guy."

"We hired Benny and his crew to do some hedge trimming for our dad's yard. He was quick to respond and got the job done the next day. I would highly recommend that you hire Benny to do all your yard maintenance and landscaping!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

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.
