"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."

Customers say: Quality work

"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."

"We have been working with JV Lawn and Garden for over a year now for fall/spring clean ups and weekly mowing. They are courteous, reliable, and efficient. Recently, we hired Julio to help with landscaping the area under a new swing set. The ground under the playset was uneven and Julio came up with a creative way to level the swing set, while still working with existing drainage requirements. He also installed a very soft play surface with lots of mulch. Our kids are thrilled and we are relieved that they have a safe area to play. We highly recommend JV Lawn and Garden!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

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.
