"I was putting a house for sale on the market and I hired EJ Lopez Landscaping to redo the garden. I discussed the work (weeding, putting down mulch, trimming some trees and bushes, and planting some flowers) with Eyder, the owner. He gave me a quote, which seemed a little high but I really don't know the cost of these things. When the work was done, I was very impressed; it was different than I had imagined, involved considerable effort and made the yard perfect for the selling of a house. My real estate agent, who knows more about the costs of landscaping, said that I got a good price for the work. However, there was one plot in the front of the house where I had imagined there would be more flowers. When I spoke to Eyder about this, it was clear we had a misunderstanding about how this flower region should be handled. It might have been a problem of communication because I am learning Spanish and spoke in Spanish with Eyder throughout the entire process. I really wanted more flowers put in. EJ Lopez Landscaping had done the work on Wednesday and there was going to be a photo shoot on Friday. Eyder said that his schedule was full and it was doubtful he could do anything about the issue. However, he called me very early on Thursday morning and said he would get more flowers planted by doing the work before his regular hours. This shows me that Eyder values his customers a lot."

"Madison Floral & Landscape Solutions treats your yard as if it is their own! It's so refreshing to do business with people who genuinely care about their work. When he arrived to survey the situation and provide his estimate, Edison took his time, answered my questions and offered solid suggestions. He and Rocco and his crew showed up on time and worked diligently transforming our back yard into a thing of beauty. No stone was left unturned. The clover and crabgrass has been replaced with a beautiful lawn of Kentucky Blue Grass and two garden beds . We cannot wait for Spring! Thank you, Edison, Rocco, et al."

"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."

"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 contacted four landscapers through Angie's List. Two never responded; one got back to me but couldn't do the work for weeks. John's responded quickly, popped by to survey the job (without me even knowing!) and was able to schedule it within the week. Two men came by and worked for three or four hours on the bed. It was too tough for a tiller, so in the end they used an industrial aerator to loosen the dirt/roots, then raked it out. They did a great job, were very careful of the surrounding garden decorations, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. The job came in right on estimate, despite it being harder than they thought."

"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, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

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.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls.
