"Derek and his crew were amazing. When Derek and Amanda came out to give estimate they were very attentive, listened, gave suggestions and answered all questions. Brady and his crew laid the sod, which is beautiful, and gave us a fabulous garden wall and plants. They were wonderful and it looks amazing! We would definitely recommend G&G landscaping."

"Within a day or two of our inquiry, owner/manager Kyle Hodges was here to evaluate our problem and give an estimate for the work he discussed with us. Although we live in a townhouse, the record-breaking Maryland rainfall and the slant of the front lawn toward our foundation had caused serious water build up at our foundation and threat to overflow into the basement.. For several weeks we had been bailing rainwater round the clock from the trench that had formed at the front of our home and using dozens of paper towel rolls to absorb water. Kyle saw the seriousness of the problem, brought his co-worker Matt who would do the work to help plan their project and scheduled a date. Matt was excellent and very thorough. So far the work they did has solved the problem successfully, and we look forward to their return in the spring for more corrective landscaping. We recommend Azaleas To Zinnias most highly and appreciate Angie's List for helping us find such a conscientious, competent, and professional business."

"They did a great job. We needed some previous landscaping removed and to have our yard repaired after the damage left by the windstorm a couple of years ago. The difference in our yard after they finished was amazing. We would recommend this company to anyone who needs landscaping done."

"Turf Connection: Quick response to my phone call that night. Jeff had already been to the property address, gave me a reasonable quote and said he should be able to get me on the schedule for Wednesday. The weather forecast was for thunder storms Wed., so I was really surprised when a crew showed up Tuesday.The crew did the work expertly and with precision. Emailed an invoice that made it super easy to pay with an electronic check on line. Jeff and Turf Connection have a new life long customer for lawn care and leaf removal! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.

Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.

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.
