"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!!"

"Many landscaping jobs from trimming shrubs, laying a slate walk, mulching garden and shrub areas, replacing concrete surrounds around our driveway and under the A/C units, even building a new entry way and stairs to replace deteriorated one. He and his men have done all to perfection at reasonable costs. He retuned surplus mulch and refunded that part of my deposit. He is a skilled worker, good communicator, personable, and honest. That’s why we have used him for about five years."

"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!"

"I wanted a concrete patio installed and Derek gave the best quote. Then I saw on his truck that he also did chimney work. I did need a new chimney crown so i asked if he could take a look at that also. He quickly got out his little drone, got some pictures and showed me the work needed. With a good quote on that, I hired him for that work as well. The day of the job, the Concrete contractor delivered the minimum of 5 yards of concrete, but I only needed 3 for the patio. Derek and his crew looked at my shabby front walkway and offered to do that with the extra concrete for a fair price. So Derek and his crew worked hard to do chimney repair, patio installation, walkway installation all in one day. They worked hard and did excellent work on everything. I am very happy with the job well done and I highly recommend Derek and his crew for great work"

"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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
