"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."

"Try JK Company. I obtained 5 estimates from different companies, and JK provided the most competitive quote for the job I needed (instead of unnecessary extra up-sales). I hadnâ t used them before, so I was more than impressed with their communication, timeliness, professionalism and quality of work. They know what theyâ re doing and involve you in all decisions. They fixed a botched job by a landscaper who said he knew how to work with paver patios, but didnâ t have experience or expertise. Tinoâ s crew built a beautiful patio with fireplace by leveraging existing walls, shape and color of the house, and length of the back yard. This is the first time Iâ ve taken time to write a review for anyone, and Iâ m doing it because of how impressed I was with Tino, Kelsey and their crew. Theyâ re worth the try!"

"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

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.

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.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.
