"Daydo and his crew came with their bobcat to do some landscaping + install ditches for gutters + put a gravel ring around the whole house. They were professional. Daydo had vision, and proposed a few extra things (lowering a hill, black aluminum trim around gravel) that while I did pay for, was very happy with."

"Roberto and his team were great. We hired them to install Sod on our property. We got a fair proposal quickly and they were able to complete the work in record time. The work is great and the neighbors said we must have hired great landscapers because it looks awesome."

"Alex was very professional and quick to respond. I spoke to him on a Monday evening. He was at the property the very next day to assess the situation. He and his workers did the job on Wednesday. The yard looked even better than I had hoped for."

"Terrific job at a very fair price. Work was done shortly after I placed the down payment on ordering the fence. Concrete was used to stabilize the post's both on the bottom and inside the post itself. A solid job and a solid fence! I also had their crew partially remove some paver's to a portion of my back yard walk and replace with sod. It looks great. I'm using them to do some landscaping in the spring and highly recommend them."

"Working with Bernie & team at Macauley Brothers was a great experience! We felt they were really thoughtful about how to update the landscaping across our front yard, from the first visit and quote through planting. Will definitely plan to hire them again for our upcoming landscaping plans!"

"Exceeded all expectations! Have had A & L Lawn Care do this work twice this season. Mike and his crew are fast, efficient and totally professional. A & L Lawn Care to me represents the best possible combination of MODERN technology and TIMELESS values. They take pride in a job well done and aren't satisfied until YOU are. They're very busy (another indication of their excellence), but immediately return calls, and are reasonable and flexible in scheduling; I can personally attest they are well worth waiting for!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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.

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.

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.
