"Excellent customer service and very good follow up which I appreciated. We had landscape cleanup completed and cleaning of 40+ palm trees in the yard. The team did a great job and took pride in their work. I plan to have them return to assist further in the near future."

"Lush Landscapes of Southwest Florida, led by Ryan, did an absolutely incredible job restoring our backyard. After our pool construction left the yard in complete shambles for months?with nothing but dirt and weeds to look at?Ryan stepped in and transformed everything. He handled our irrigation, filled and leveled the entire yard, and installed a beautiful new landscape that truly brought my vision to life. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded every expectation we had. I highly recommend Ryan and Lush Landscapes of Southwest Florida for any landscaping project. You won?t regret trusting them with your home."

"Charles and his crew were excellent to work with from start to finish. Charles listened to our wants and made our dream yard for us. He updated daily of their accomplishments and we knew what to expect each day moving forward. He worked on our project as it was his own, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Backyard Birdies!!!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

Costs for lakefront landscaping are influenced by project size, choice of plants and materials, labor, and any additional features or structures desired. Projects can range from a few thousand dollars to extensive transformations costing much more.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.
