"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."

"Omar regraded and seeded my backyard and sodded the front yard. Itâ s been almost a month now and both look great. My neighbor had his backyard regraded and seeded last year, but he had a lot more bare spots than me. Almost all of my yard is already completely filled in. Omar really knows what heâ s doing and is a pleasure to work with."

"I can't say enough good things about Adam Bishop! (ABG) While isn’t a professional landscaper or gardener, you’d never know it by looking at my yard. He came in and completely transformed the space—tackling a massive weed problem in my garden, neatly edging and bordering all my flower beds, and even getting rid of dead bushes. The level of effort, care, and hard work put into making everything look immaculate was incredible. If you need someone reliable, hardworking, and thorough to clean up your garden beds and outdoor space, I highly recommend reaching out to Adam (ABG)! Jerri Kozlowski,"

"They did a nice job of clearing weeds from several landscape beds. Since we waited so long to get the job started the weeds were out of control. They also deep edged and line trimmed around all landscape beds and trees. All the brush was hauled away and cleaned up nicely."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

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.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
