"Since the beginning Pierce Landscaping was very responsive and on time. They provided debris removal service that included debris cut to grade, weeds and bamboo removal. Grass and bushes were trimmed and also aerated my front yard With Seed & Fertilizer. The team was very professional and I was very happy with they work!"

"I had a great experience with Greenstone Gardens to install a small paver wall along the walkway to my house. Mark was so easy to work with. He worked around my schedule to provide an estimate, discussed the project with me, provided a very reasonable estimate, scheduled and performed the work promptly. Our wall is a vast improvement on what it was and I would be happy to recommend Greenstone Gardens to friends and family."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

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.

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.
