"We had Justin’s Landscaping Services do some extensive landscaping, etc. for us recently. We were so impressed with the quality of the work they performed for us. They did an excellent job pruning and trimming several bushes and trees. Justin’s L. S. did great work edging and mulching around the bushes/trees for many areas of our yard. All the work performed was done for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Justin’s Landscaping Services. I will be using them again for my landscaping projects. Sincerely, Lou Petruzzelli, Taunton, MA"

"Adam called me immediately and met me that same day. I hired the company and they cut my grass that same day. They used a ride on mower and my land is uneven so some areas were shorter than others. Two days later they spread 10 yards of hemlock mulch and recut some areas of my grass with push mower. They will use a push mower in the future. My yard now looks beautifully landscaped. Communication is definately key with this company. They aim to please!!"

"We shopped around several local companies to quote a big project around our pool and some landscaping beds. From the beginning every communication with Alex Masonry was prompt and professional. They came out and took the time to listen to what we envisioned, suggested a few alternatives and helped us come to a final product. Even before we committed to the project, they helped us find showrooms to view the product, offered to meet us there (we declined) and helped walk us through exactly what we needed to see. Their quote wasn't the lowest, and certainly not the highest, but based on what we saw early on, it was certainly the best quality for the price paid. We felt like we were getting our monies worth and that was very important to us. Once we committed to using Alex Masonry, they came out one final time before work started and walked us through every step, meticulously making sure we were all on the same page, to ensure the project came out exactly how we hoped. A reassuring final step before the work actually started. Basic description of the project was to completely remove the existing paver patio around the inground pool. Excavate the old base material and install new base and pavers around the pool. We decided to add river rock beds in certain areas to change the look and feel of the space. They also removed and rebuilt a 40 foot section of a landscaping retaining wall, used an anchoring system and tethered wall to it. They also trenched and designed a drainage system to alleviate future water problems. This required quite extensive manual removal of large buried rocks and some pneumatic drilling of ledge. In addition, they built a large fire pit and capped with existing bluestone steps that were recycled from the demo. I would enthusiastically recommend Alex Masonry. Great crew, hard working, prompt and do an outstanding job. You will be hard pressed to find a company that does such quality work and craftsmanship for the price. Thank you and your crew! We love the new space!"

"Steve went out of his way to involve me in every choice. I wanted different than anyone and he helped me achieve it with working with me. I am happy with my front yard. I work 70-80 hrs a week he made himself available to the little time I have. The only reason they did not get all 5 stars on everything is because of the things he did not do himself and I had some damage to plants because of it."

"Elson and company did a great job replacing a garage apron and old patio block sidewalk. He was always prompt from the estimate to the final inspection. He kept in touch with me on his work schedule, even when he had to bump out the start date due to the weather. He kept to his word and quote. I'd hire him again without question."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

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.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.
