"This was the only company out of the companies sent by Angi.com that responded. They were very timely in their response. Gave a lot of wise advise and were very knowledgeable. I purchased a different property out of the area, but I would highly recommend them."

"Nicholas and his crew were great to work with. They were very knowledgeable, pleasant and polite to work with. The project was started on time and finished within a week. Nicholas listened to my ideas, worked with me and if my plants/shrubs suggestions would not grow well in that area, he would suggest others that would be better suited. When the project was finished, the area was cleaned up and looked great. I was well pleased with this company and highly recommend them ."

"Jacob and his assistant, Jaydon, went out of their way to provide what I would call World Class Customer Service. Their work was very professional. In fact, Jacob assisted me with some landscaping which wasn't part of his original bid as a goodwill gesture at no extra charge. I was very satisfied with the outcome of this project."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.
