"Sergio and his team came out the very next day after the quote and installed sod in my yard in one day! My yard wasnâ t big but they still had to remove old lawn and prep for the new sod. They did an excellent job and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend them if you need sod installed."

"The Lofton team was responsive, creative, on time, on schedule and provided impressive value for the money. This was a substantial and pretty complicated project involving the total landscaping of our front and back yards (including extensive pond work) and I thought their service and installation just excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend them based on the work they did for us."

"The crew came out and left my yard unrecognizable! My whole back yard was a jungle and the team was able to clear everything up. They had even taken out tree stumps that were next to impossible to take out. Very satisfied and highly recommend this company. Great prices, and a crew who cares about their quality of work. Will definitely be hiring them for the spring!"

"Fantastic- EB Masonry delivered on constructing our back yard project (a low lying platform deck). We priced out several options and they were the most affordable. They were great communicators and stayed true to our timelines. We hired them to do an additional project (a garage party door) and were not disappointed!!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

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.

As long as you’re building a greenhouse, consider the overall look of your backyard. Could it benefit from stone walkways or grading? As long as you’re hiring a hardscaping pro to lay the foundation for a greenhouse, you could tackle those other projects to give your whole yard a glow-up at the same time.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.
