"From the estimate to current follow ups, we are completely happy with our new sod, the stunning blooming drift roses, and the beautiful layout of the other shrubs, the pine bark and adjustments to our irrigation system. What a transformation! Shannon and his crew were experienced, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, prompt, and when they left our home popped with curb appeal. Prompting many compliments from neighbors and random passerby’s. We highly recommend Southern Brothers for your landscaping needs!"

"James did an excellent job, with the spring cleanup, shrub trimming, weed control and mulch. As an additional seperate job he also power washed the driveway, walkways and porch. The yard looks amazing. James is fair, honest, reasonalby priced and took care of the gardens and yard like it was his own. In addition he was sensitve to a small child's nap schedule and worked near his room first so the noise would not be an issue. We are lucky to have found him for landscape needs."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

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.

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.

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.
