"They were efficient, worked quickly and left me with good after care instructions for the yard. The owner came out ahead of time, which was good because it saved me money since the not all the yard needed to be done. His guys came later to complete the work."

"Jose and his crew completely rebuilt our stone patio and wall that was falling apart, and surrounded it with redone landscaping. We are thrilled with the result. Jose has an eye for design. He makes good suggestions and sees possibilities we did not. He used high quality materials and plants and was careful not to damage the surrounding area. I highly recommend him."

"Some guys say the happiest day of their life was when they married their wife, however, for me it was when D&D Landscaping finished my front yard. ð All kidding aside they performed an exceptional job that was above and beyond my highest expectations. They completely removed all previous landscaping and installed all new landscaping along with a watering system for the shrubs/trees and a beautiful lighting system. The transformation is completely incredible and I couldnâ t be happier with the outcome Moreover, the entire process of working with Dean from D&D Landscaping was exceptional. Prior to D&D Landscaping coming into the picture I was meeting with several other landscaping contractors and found that none had any vision. I would ask them what they think should be done to my front yard and they had few ideas and would simply reply that they would do whatever I wanted. That forced me to do a ton of research and sketch up a design myself. On the other hand, Dean from D&D Landscaping had tons of ideas and he sketched-up a complete design that far exceeded mine given his extensive background in all-things landscaping. Moreover, none of the other landscapers offered a watering system or a lighting system as part of their base package, which further separated D&D Landscaping from other landscapers. I highly recommend D&D Landscaping for the incredible job they do, but they are also seemingly one of the few landscaping companies that are fully insured with both Liability Insurance and Workmanâ s Compensation Insurance, which was also highly important to me."

"They repaired our landscaping lights.  We kept having lights go out and they got them going them again.  They suggested lights that were better to use.  They were very good.  They specialize in the landscape lighting, so they are the people to call."

"This contractor responded quickly with a detailed quote and completed the job quickly once approved. We had a minor problem that became apparent after a rainstorm and the owner was here to check it out the same day I called. The completed project was done just as requested and looks great. Another plus: you get a real live person answering the phone! Very nice people to deal with."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

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 shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

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.
