"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."

"We wanted to extend a patio and make a walkway with rock. I got a call within an hour and he came same day to do a free estimate. I hired him the next day and two days later, the work was done! Exactly what I asked for, and he and his workers were extremely professional. We will for sure hire them again for our next project! Thank you!"

"Landscape Illumination installed landscape lighting for our home and at the same time installed year around holiday LED lights around our roofline. Customer service is great - we had a strand of LED lights act up right after installation and they were right out to replace the strand. Our landscape lighting works and looks great every night but I waited an entire year to write a review to make sure our holiday lighting worked fine this year when I turned them back on - I'm happy to say that every LED light is still working great and I changed them to ORANGE for Halloween. thanks again to the team at Landscape Illumination - landscape lighting and permanent holiday lighting was worth every penny!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

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.

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.

There are several reasons your grass may be dying that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.
