"The team at Xtra Care has done several landscaping projects for us as well as perform our seasonal maintenance. Their work always impresses us. The transformation is like magic. The most recent project was landscaping in front of my mother-in-law’s home which turned out amazing. Prior to that they solved a problem we had with mowing a steep hillside. This past spring they completed a patio and garden project that we built a pavilion over that we use daily. It has transformed a useless part of our yard into a beautiful outdoor oasis. The crew is great and they work so hard to get things done and done right. The office staff always follows up in a very timely manner. The owners are the best and have wonderful ideas on how to improve our property. We have had a wonderful experience working with Xtra Care and are certainly planning to use them again. We truly enjoy all the improvements they have made to our outdoor spaces. We highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"MC Landscaping did a fantastic job with our lawn! We were dealing with a lot of water erosion, and they suggested ideas to fix the issues while creating a beautiful space that blended with other landscaping. The owner was super responsive to our questions, visited the site multiple times to check in on the work, and made sure our needs were met. They offered top quality services at reasonable prices. We were so pleased with the work that we had them come back for additional work and recommended them to our neighbors. If you’re looking for someone to provide creative solutions for your landscaping, I’d highly recommend MC Landscaping!"

"This company is awesome. They are fast, attentive to details and very professional. I have a very difficult property layout - very hilly and this team just does a great job. They also take care of my landscaping: they have cut down sick or dangerous trees, trimmed hedges and mulched the garden area. I have used them for years and will continue to do so!"

"Easy, reliable, customer oriented and good! This is my second year for spring clean up and lawn mowing services. It was very clear that the clean up crew wanted to be sure the work met with my satisfaction. The foreman not only sought my input but also offered expert guidance on best practices for trimming and maintenance for a beautiful final result and strong, healthy landscaping. There is also peace of mind all summer long knowing that the lawn maintenance crew will be there like clockwork and all you have to do is enjoy a well manicured lawn. Make your life easier and call them!"

"I have never done a project like the patio they did and I could not be happier with the process, and the work Mike and his team did. He helped my wife and I scope out the project and listened to what we wanted and how we wanted to use the space. His suggestions were thoughtful and the end product turned out just as we had envisioned. There was no pressure during the process and he took all the time we needed to answer questions. His crew worked incredibly hard every day they were here, and you could tell they took pride in their work, focused on little details I couldn’t even envision, and had fun while doing it. This definitely showed in the end product as it looks great and I am extremely happy with the quality."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.

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.

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.

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.

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.
