"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."

"Andy was extremely easy to work with. Our back yard needed a complete makeover and there were serious issues with our neighbors yard which was a major eyesore in our yard. It only took 2 meetings with Andy for him to come up with a solution and complete landscape plan that my husband and I loved. Andy and his team came the day and time that he said they would be there. It took the exact amount of time he said it would. They cleaned up everything after each day. Andy completed the job within my budget! How great is that! It was such a pleasure to work with Andy Medina. Every time I look at my backyard I am smiling and am very grateful!"

"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."

"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 FAQs, 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 cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.
