"I have used Ecoscape for over a year now. They are responsive and do high quality work. Their team is professional, precise and cleans up the work when finished. I have worked with Ecoscape for landscaping design and was very pleased with their ideas, the quality of the plants, and overall work. They also re-sodded my yard and provide general landscaping maintenance. I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"So great! They were so fast and so cheap! Our dog had dug up parts of our back yard and we even had a tree stump. Now looks amazing. We now spend more time in the backyard in 1 week than we have the 3 years prior COMBINED"

"Juan and Jose worked with us a few years ago. Once we bought our new home they were the first on our list to call for landscaping needs. They installed new entryway, spring clean up etc. As always, they were professional, good communication, flexible and punctual. The finished product was the envy of my neighborhood. If you are looking for reliable, hard working, professional and flexible landscapers Juan and Jose are the ones to call. At this point they are like family. They are currently providing landscaping services for me biweekly. My lawn is looking great! Thank you and the crew for an amazing walkway and entry way."

"We could not be more satisfied with the work that JK did for us. We completed a large paver job along the driveway, a walkway to the backyard and a full patio. The team also laid pea gravel in several areas where we have sheds, etc. Tino and team did an incredible job. Tino also was in touch with us throughout the project, helping us navigate around some challenging and unexpected circumstances related to a previous contractor. Just amazing all around."

"J.E.M Landscaping did an incredible job on my front and back yard for the final cut and clean-up before winter. Everything looks so neat and refreshed! The lawn is perfectly trimmed, the edges are sharp, and they made sure all the leaves and debris were completely cleared out. They were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. It feels great heading into winter knowing my yard is in such great shape. I highly recommend J.E.M Landscaping to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality landscaping services!"

"We had and continue to maintain a terrific business relationship with Steve regarding our outdoor lighting. From converting all of our halogens to LEDs to multi colored remote controlled spotlights , custom modifications & replacements of broken fixtures it was all done in a stellar, professional and friendly manner. This was no small project on a 2 acre property with over 50 outdoor fixtures and new lighting fixtures were added as well. It s rare to have a contractor genuinely listen to your specific requirements without trying to upsell a homeowner. When we asked for ideas on the latest outdoor light options he then advised us and also researched our more atypical architectural requirements & responded back to us in a timely manner with his findings. We never had to worry that he wouldn t follow up. He diligently worked on our property as if it was his own house. Just a few words that describe Steve: professional, on time appointments, great follow ups & overall communications, realistic project timetable, honest, sincere, caring, knowledgeable and a good value including an excellent warranty. Steve even assisted us with other trade contractors that we inquired about & eventually hired too. His input was invaluable for those referrals. We hired Steve at our first project meeting and definitely made the right choice in a field of many outdoor lighting companies including large businesses."

"Can't say enough good things about Am National. We installed our in ground system over 12 years ago and it is still going strong! Am National has been wonderful to work with. I recommended them to my neighbor last year and she also raves about the service and product. Overall the team is professional and communicative. When they open the system the foreman always lets me know the status of all the sprinkler heads and shows me any problems. He then discusses options and performs whatever work needs to be done. The workers set your system to where you had set last year and work with you if you need any changes. Workers do enter your home to open and close the system but always wear booties and never leave any kind of mess or anything behind. I did have an issue once with a line leaking underground due to a tree removal and the company sent someone out right away to evaluate. It turned out there was no leak. They were very thorough and explained everything."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.
