"Alex is a very hard worker but beyond that he is a very well self taught hard landscape architect . He is creative and inspiring. I initially hired him to put up a fence. He did such a great job I hired him to redo my pond. It came out beautifully. I then hired him to redo my poolâ s patio area and erect a small brick barrier between the flower beds and the patio and once again it was beautifully done. He also put in two walkways that charmingly meander through the forest behind the pool house. We are now planning to put in a bocce court . On a scale of one to ten Alex is a twelve. I highly recommend him. PS his prices are very competitive so much so that he was the low bidder on these projects. He is the best landscape architect I have ever hired and a great guy to work with."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars Isn’t Enough! On Saturday, July 25, 2026, I was searching for a reliable landscaper when I contacted Aaron King of King’s Turf Solutions. Even though it was a busy Saturday, Aaron took the time to personally call me and let me know he would come out to provide an estimate. That alone impressed me. What happened next truly speaks to the kind of person and businessman he is. On Sunday, July 26, 2026—a day he normally doesn’t work—Aaron came to my home and completely transformed my property. He did a beautiful job landscaping the front of my house, giving it a fresh, clean, and welcoming appearance. He also mowed my lawn, cleared my backyard of overgrown weeds, and left everything looking absolutely beautiful. His work was meticulous, and he treated my property with the same care and respect as if it where his own. Aaron is an outstanding landscaper but also an exceptional young man. He is professional, courteous & hardworking, BEST SERVICE EVER. Warmly Helena & Max"

"I found Luis’s company through Angie’s list. He contacted me almost immediately after I submitted my project request, came over the next day to give me an estimate and completed the work on the following day. I needed extensive landscaping, tree and brush trimming, cutting back a very over grown area and cleaning gutters. He and his crew showed up on time and immediately got to it. Luis made sure everything was done to my specifications and was very attentive to details and clean up. I’m definitely going to use this company again. He is pleasant, professional and the work was performed efficiently while being mindful of what I wanted. So easy to work with. Even did my job on Sunday to accommodate my schedule. Luis also blew out the leaves in my garage as a freebie! This company is the real deal!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.

A rock garden can last indefinitely as long as you properly maintain it. Whether solely made of rocks or with greenery incorporated, they generally last a while, though it may vary based on your climate.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

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.
