Customers say: Terrific value

"I hired Porter Design Landscaping and Home Improvement to install a metal roof on my pergola after the ice storm destroyed the canvas shades. His company did an excellent job of installing the metal roof and suggested that I get the wood painted to match the rails and agreed with his suggestion and the final product looks amazing"

"After doing much research I hired John Krause Construction for a very large project: Sunroom addition, deck, patio, front hardscape and landscape with design of my entire house and yard! John came out personally and was very honest and his pricing was fair. They did an amazing job taking my vision and making it a reality. The crews were efficient and responsive. I will use them in the future."

"I had been searching for patio renovators/builders and landscaping contractors for some work to be done for a while now, over a month. Had a few coming in for estimates, however none were effecient or seemed like they were interested in getting the work. When I hadnt heard back from any of them, that is when I contacted Home Advisors for contractors in my area. They recommended JB Gardens Inc. And some others. I decided after checking their website, I would contact JB Gatdens Inc. They were very enthusiatic about coming over for an estimate and chat with me on what my projects were. They were courteous and liistened and professional about the work to be done and shared with me their experience and porrfolio and also shared with me some sample pavers on the very first day we met. Within that same day, I was sent quotes and supply lists via email. I was happy with the price and it was fair and reasonable. I was very impressed with the teams' work, work ethics, professionalism and candor. Very honest, upfront and they were willing to perform little tasks on the side for me at no extra cost. They worked for about 9 days straight and built me a wonderful patio, a side patio and 2 walkways (one with a front porch). Their work is immaculate, they pay so much attention to detail and cleaned up beautifully. A happy team is a happy and content employee and their management is what makes the company. I couldnt say more. They were superb and I would hire them again in future, should I have any home improvement projects. Many good returns to JB Gardens Inc (Jose, Manuel and Team) and looking forward to my landscaping work to begin in Oct! See you back then!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

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.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.

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.
