"Peter and crew did a wonderful job of transforming our front yard from blah to wow. We are so happy every time we look out our front window or drive up to our home. Peter was very easy to work with. He listened to what we wanted to do, made a few suggestions and came up with a couple of great ideas as the project progressed. They completed the job on time and also cleaned up after each day's work. We would use Green Hornet Landscaping again and would definitely recommend them."

"I rate this provider responsive, responsible, well-organized, and reasonable in price. Kevin Murphy installed a shell driveway for me. He had my old cracked concrete driveway removed and hauled away, graded the area, installed underlayment, and added a topping of fine shell, all in one day (in fact, within two days of my initial inquiry on Home Advisor) and for a reasonable price. I now have a hard, well-packed driveway (and additional parking pad) meeting my specifications. I would definitely hire him again."

Customers say: Quality work

"Southern Landscaping did an outstanding job mulching all the landscaping beds in and around our large condo community! Their team worked incredibly hard, completing the project quickly with excellent results. We're very happy with their efficient and high-quality work and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. Lupe was extremely easy to work with and very responsive to our requests. Hire him!"

"Yardscapers is a premiere sod installation company. From start to finish the project was managed and executed exactly as described in our detailed quote. We had a drainage issue in an area that was not included in quote and were pleasantly surprised when Aries and team filled it in with excess turf at the end of install. Choose Yardscapers of Florida. You won't be disappointed!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.
