"Phil and his team did an excellent job designing and completing a large landscaping project involving yard work, river rock, patio walkway, shrubs/plants and a stone wall. Phil kept us informed during the entire progress and provided valuable feedback and recommendations. The project was completed on time and within budget. Phils and his workers always showed up on time and were very responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend G&P Landscape and Construction ! Ralph T Hopedale"

"I tried Sod for my yard twice but my German Shepard killed it. I figured I give this a try and it has been two weeks so far and I feel it is one of the best things I have done. Yard looks great and the crew that put it in did an awesome job. They did a lot of work to level out the yard and to secure the turf down. Anyone is welcome to come and check this out in Lowell Ma.

"We just can't say enough about how pleased and impressed we are with our landscape project. We were able to work directly with André the owner, who listened very closely to what we had in mind and help us with some final decisions. Since our project had many different jobs he explained step by step every single one of them and gave us options. Amazonia Landscape team is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and dedicated from beginning to end. We will definitely be using them again for all our future projects! Thanks again for all your hard work!!!"

"It was a pleasure working with Rich (RJ Services) on our front yard project. We needed an expert to provide us with ideas for a full redo on our front yard landscaping. Rich installed a new walkway, front door landing as well as all new mature trees and shrubs. He took the time to meet with us at the nursery and stone shop to make selections. We are extremely happy with how it turned out and would certainly recommend RJ Services to others."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.
