"They designed an effective system and did not push for more and more
lighting than we needed. Always said if you want more we can do more
later.  They came out twice to discussed the layout and details of the plan ? no problem for them. The designer Nick was
very helpful and explained everything ? even showed some of the types of lights they would install as examples. 
The installed a total of 12 lights converted an existing
post light that was not working to the low voltage system and that worked out
great.  They designed the system so that minimal impact was on the existing landscape
design and looks excellent.  The 2 installers were very friendly, helpful
and respectful of our house.
From the quoting process to the check payment these people
were professional and helpful and on time.
Update- Minor Problem, Bulb kept burning out.  They came out and fix the problem.  They provided great service and great communication.  They fixed the problem at no charge.  This is a wonderful company."

"My wife and I had just moved into a new construction home in May of 2021, and we waited a year for the ground to settle before we put on our patio. During this time, we were deciding what type of patio or deck we wanted to build. We ruled out the deck immediately and started to consider patio options from a Concrete Slab to Brick Pavers. We were referred to APS from a friend and began discussions with Doug Neff and his team on our plans. Doug listened to what our plans were, and he suggested that we go with a Porcelain Paver. My wife and I had not heard of a Porcelain Paver for a patio, but Doug informed us of all the benefits it has over concrete and brick pavers. Such benefits include no cracking like concrete, no weeds growing through cracks you sometimes see with brick pavers. No yearly maintenance and sealing as a brick paver, and our patio would be permeable. APS steered us right and we couldn't be happier with the decision we had made. We get compliments all the time."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

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.

As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

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.
