"The work they did far exceeded my expectations. They cleaned up my landscaping so that it looks like it did when it was first done years ago. My landscaping was in terrible shape and I am so pleased with how well it turned out. I highly recommend Bluestone Landscape and will definitely use them again."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Juan at J&P Brothers Landscaping to transform my front and side yard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Juan and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to excellence. 1. Initial Consultation and Proposal: Juan visited my home, took meticulous measurements, and showed me impressive examples of his previous work. He listened attentively to my preferences and needs. Within a week, he provided a detailed proposal that broke down various options, including addressing our backyard landscaping needs. 2. Efficient Execution: After a brief delay due to rain (which Juan communicated promptly), his team efficiently cleared out the yard in just one day. Over the next two days, they laid down approximately 2,500 square feet of lush Kentucky Bluegrass in the front and side yards, as well as the parkway. Juan also addressed a water pooling issue near our foundation—a problem we’d been grappling with for a while. 3. Attention to Detail: Not only did Juan level the problematic area, but he also added a beautiful flower bed according to our agreed-upon plan. Landscape fabric was strategically placed to prevent weeds, and a layer of fresh mulch completed the look. Our neighbors have been giving us glowing complements —the transformation is remarkable! 4. Smooth Process: Juan’s digital contract process made everything hassle-free. I appreciated the transparency and ease of communication throughout the project. 5. Looking Ahead: My wife and I are thrilled with our rejuvenated front yard, and we’re already planning to engage Juan for our backyard landscaping. His expertise and dedication are unmatched. In summary, Juan and his team delivered exceptional results, turning our outdoor space into something truly special. If you’re seeking top-notch landscaping services, look no further—Juan is the real deal!"

"The wall build went well as a previous review that I made reflects. The wall (a little less than a year later) looks and functions well. The reason for this follow-up poor review is that the lawn repair was far from adequate for the price paid. An erosion blanket with seed that was placed on the back of the lot, never had seed under it, and I had to seed it and redo that this spring. (done myself and came out great). The repair (supposedly to pre-work condition) of the lawn where machinery had been driven during construction was subpar at best leaving high and low spots. They came out to fix just this week, and damaged a downspout drain that I had fixed after they left it damaged after their first repair. There were two other downspout drains that they did in the initial job that are an eyesore that I will have to redo myself as well. So that leaves three downspout repairs and significant landscaping repairs after a job that ran 10% over the estimate. They did offer discounts on "future" services and to come repair the downspout drain, but why would I want something else to go wrong when they come back. Cut my losses and choose not to use again. Top dollar does not always mean top quality. They are respectful and polite, but that does not make a job look nice."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
