"There were two HUGE (one was three trees grown together- we are talking Tree of Life from Animal Kingdom) trees right between my house and the neighbors- one that had a tree sized branch split off and balanced on other branches. Lopez fit me in for a quote quickly. After obtaining several quotes I went with Lopez. They scheduled my work quickly and showed up promptly on day of treegate 2020. The gentlemen were respectful and careful about the properties. There were 2 houses, a garage, a 9 foot hedge, and a fence around the trees to be removed and the work was wonderful. They were very careful and it was amazing to watch! They had to maneuver around all those obstacles to remove the trees. They also shaped and crowned several other large trees in my yard on the same day. They were finished with all of that work by 5:30 pm and left my yard and the neighbors in great condition with all debris removed and raked. I will be using this company again for any and all landscaping or tree work I need in the future!"

"I hired Edison for a small 1,000 sq ft backyard landscaping project in South Boston. He did a great job of listening to what I wanted, making recommendations, explaining different aspects of the project and completing it quickly. He neither oversold nor undersold and responded quickly to my questions with detailed suggestions, but always deferring to my decisions in the end. The finished product was very well-done and an amazing newly landscaped backyard."

"Sunday Landscaping helped us with a yard cleanup, and we've very happy with the result. Dave was easy to get in contact with and great to work with. He explained the cost of the job clearly. When we realized it was going to rain on the scheduled cleanup day, Dave explained how his team was going to work around the weather (and then followed through on that plan). The job was done very well, and we absolutely would work with Sunday Landscaping again."

All the guys worked so hard to get everything done. Make an appointment for him to come for the estimate, you will get a call back. Solid guys!"

"We had an area of our lawn that despite care and irrigation would not reliably and uniformly grow grass. We hired M&L Landscaping to take out whatever was left of the old lawn and replace it with new sod. They did the work last fall and now with the spring this year it looks OUTSTANDING and is growing fast. The M&L team did a great job and we are very happy with both the results and their commitment to us in the future. A first class job done by highly knowledgeable professionals. We will contract with them again in the future for other landscaping projects."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from AML Landscaping! They removed a large tree and trimmed several shrubs around my yard, and the results are outstanding. The crew was professional, punctual, and friendly. Their pricing was very fair, and they left everything spotless when they were done. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, efficiency, and genuine kindness — but these folks nailed it. My yard has never looked this clean and professional. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality tree and landscaping work!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

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.

You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.
