"We recently used XtraCare Landscaping for a major project consisting of enlarging our concrete patio, installing pavers on our front porch, building a decorative retaining wall, and creating new and beautiful flower beds in our front yard. We were so satisfied that we also signed up for their gutter cleaning and leaf service, and have already scheduled some additional concrete work I cannot rave enough about how thoroughly pleased we are with their professionalism, honesty, workmanship, work ethic, and attention to detail. Everyone we have dealt with has been a real pleasure to work with, and we look forward to working with them again in the Spring. This company is top notch all the way!"

"Thank you Lily & Team: I contracted with MA Cleaning and Landscape to provide a hardscape solution under my new deck, including a concrete pad and decorative pebbles. They consulted with me on construction day, and completed the $2900 job nicely in 2 days. Being pleased with their work, I asked for help designing a landscape project along a 50 foot stone wall. That $2200 job was also done very well in one day. When issues arose, Lily handled them like a boss. I really appreciated her calling me directly to offer a solution. Lily was very kind and highly professional, which makes a huge difference with me. I am posting this review because I want people to know they can trust lily and her team to do the right thing. I can also highly recommend them for both hardscape and landscape design. I had a 12 year relationship with a prior landscape designer until she retired, and hope to continue using this company for garden enhancement for many years to come. Regan in Clarksburg, MD"

"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I hired Porter Design Landscaping and Home Improvement to install a metal roof on my pergola after the ice storm destroyed the canvas shades. His company did an excellent job of installing the metal roof and suggested that I get the wood painted to match the rails and agreed with his suggestion and the final product looks amazing"

"Communication with the company was excellent - the crew went above and beyond in trimming and squaring off our 10 foot high hedge that runs the length of our front and side yard. Really made it look like itâ s from an English garden. Hardworking and polite crew. Real perfectionists! Will continue to use Grounds Guys for all our landscaping needs! Recommend highly."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

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.

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.
