"I have hired David and David Jr. for 2 projects now. And I will be having them back again this springtime. They did an extensive Potager Rose Garden with walk ways of stone, incased in a stone wall with pillars. In the center is a 3 tier water fountain. It turned out exquisite. They helped me design the garden and gave such interesting ideas that I had not thought of. Their work ethic is stellar. They are honest , forthright and fair. And the quality of work is simply exquisite. They found large thick flat stones that were used as steps out of the garden that just added the final touch. Then to my surprise they added out door lighting that at night is just beautiful reflecting off the roses and fountain. They took my dream to the next level. The next project we did a stone walkway, patio and again, the same huge thick stone slabs for steps all the way around the patio. It is stunning . We will be adding a covered pergola to it this spring tying in the front and back yards with the same style and finesse. If you are looking for professionals that you desire to take your project to the next level, and to be fair in price and superb in quality of work, then this is the company for you. You can find workmen, but to find someone with the eye to design according the topography and to capture the esthetic of the house and land is not easy to come by. This spring we will be adding more walkways and extending a stone wall, and building more pillars making entrances to the barn and private drive. I would trust no other company with my property and my visions for this property, after having worked with them. I am assured you will feel the same."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

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.

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.

Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they’re established. You’ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.
