"I had my front & back yard landscaped also had electrical outside lights installed in the front and back yard. At night everything looks so beautiful. Workers were nice & very hard workers, Rickie ( owner) was on site most of the time overseeing workmanship & progress. Clean up was great. I would highly recommend Southern Oak Landscaping. I would give them 1 out of 10, 10 for sure. Thank you Southern Oaks. My neighbors love the new look too."

"I originally hired this company about a year ago to install some outdoor decorative landscape lighting. I explained what I wanted and then told him my budget. Needless to say I had champagne tastes on a beer budget. So instead of driving away (which one company did) he explained what he could do. It turned out amazing! I got so many compliments from my neighbors. Throughout the year my landscaping and lawn company manged to cut wires and mess with the lights, every time I called them they were prompt and took care of everything. I recently had them out and explained a particular "look" I wanted on a side garden, the tech explained what he would do, which was nothing like what I had envisioned, but I trusted him and once again I am amazed. It turned out even better than I had imagined. I don't know what other companies charge, the service charges are reasonable and I would highly recommend this company and buy the annual maintenance plan, it is well worth it!"

"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!!!"

"After our pool was installed, I hired Jeff and his crew to landscape. Since I am not a professional landscaper, I left it up to him to design. Jeff managed to make our back and side yard look like new within our budget. He has even helped us maintain by repairing a couple of plants that did not make it I sent him a photo, he replaced it. I highly recommend Tidewater landscape"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.
