"Carlos Souza of JJT Landscaping is outstanding! I give him my highest recommendation. He is an incredibly hard worker, is conscientious, and takes great pride in his work. He is efficient and gets the job done as quickly as possible. He cleared leaves, mowed grass, removed weeds and saplings from a steep bank, and went above and beyond in every part of the job, all for a reasonable rate. He has a great sense of what looks good in landscaping and makes good recommendations for how to improve the overall appearance of the property. I am thrilled to have found him for our landscaper."

"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."

"Front of my stairs were starting to crumble and looked gross. I was having a hard time finding a permanent solution, at a reasonable price, and had curb appeal. Had a couple quotes but I’m glad I went with Design and Build Masonry LLC. Very nice people, family owned, and did an awesome job! Will be having them take care of some more projects for me."

Customers say: Quality work

"Andrew was a consummate professional from his drawn plan for our plantings to the followup to discuss that plan and make our requested changes. He worked closely with us to insure that the finished landscape was what we wanted and expected. Not only was it all that, but after the installation was completed the yard was cleaned and left looking pristine. We are completely satisfied with Landsculptors' service and the final product."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

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.
