"I hired M and G to mow our yard.. Because I had some medical issues I was unable to mow myself. I reached out to Fernando and he was here the following morning. I have always done my own yard work and was very happy with the job and that it was done as well or better than before. I well continue to use M and G for future project as well. Nice job."

"Ron and his crew did a great job. They were professional and communicative. We asked him to cut the grass longer, and when it was done, he knocked on the door and said he didn’t like the way it looked and cut it a bit shorter. I appreciated his honesty and his input. Our lawn looks great."

"I needed some regrading done in my back yard. Brian came out and quoted the project in detail. Others just quoted a total cost, which left me with concerns about the details. We had lots of rain, this year, so he did all he could to minimize damage to the yard going from the street to the back yard. The results are great! back yard is much gentler slope, and easy to mow now. I definitely recommend Galt Hexagon for grading/regrading work."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

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.

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.
