"Recently, I completed a comprehensive home and yard renovation project with Horizon Landscaping Designs, owned by Lazaro Bernal. I am highly satisfied with the exceptional quality and meticulous management of the work provided. The scope of the project encompassed retaining wall construction, lawn restoration, exterior and interior stone and stucco repairs, screen porch renovation, extensive carpentry projects, painting, and drywall repairs throughout the house. Lazaro Bernal was present on-site supervising or collaborating with his employees on a daily basis. His communication with me regarding the schedule and cost of each task was impeccable. The projects were completed on time and within the agreed-upon financial boundaries. If you require any home or yard repairs or renovations, I highly recommend Horizon Landscaping Designs and its owner, Lazaro Bernal. He demonstrates a genuine commitment to the quality of his work and exceeding the expectations of his clients."

"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."

"We are so pleased with the work that ATD Landscaping did and in particular with Charlotte who did the design work and consulted with us on our ideas for the project. The results far exceeded our expectations. Their work crews were excellent, quick and very neat. They showed up with a crew of 6 that grew to 8 and had both front planting beds and the north end of the house completely finished and cleaned up by 3:15PM with an 8:30 start. We love what they installed and we look forward to watching it grow and fill in over the next few years. Charlotte provided us with very precise instructions for how to water and care for the various plants. We'd strongly recommend ATD for your landscaping project. Of the 3 quotes we got, ATD was in the middle. A true value for the price!"

"JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care once again has done a fantastic job for us. They are always prompt with communication, prices are fair, and their work is excellent. Within a week of contacting Kevin, I had someone come out to assess what work I needed and had a crew show up. I asked for additional landscaping work this year, a separate quote was drawn up, approved and scheduled with ease. Thank you for another great experience!"

In this project, we transformed a bare dirt area by using Blue Ice stone in the corner. Along the patio border, we added Delaware River Jack to seamlessly connect the entire stone bed around the pool.

"Jaime and his crew did an excellent job laying the sod and setting up a sprinkling system to make sure the grass was watered enough to take root. They did an enormous amount of work in one day for a very fair price. Will definitely work with them again!"

"This was the second project completed for us by Best Landscape. This experience was really good once all the material arrived on site. The wall added so much depth and style to the house that people stop by and ask who did the installation. Of course I recommend Able and company for all hardscape/Landscape projects because he listens to the customer and the price is fairly reasonable."

"I wanted to send a shout out to two of the Moyers Landscape crew members, Jose and Elias. They were tasked with trying to mitigate the standing water in my backyard after rains. They brought in sod and were also able to cover all of the bare spots with fresh soil and seeds. They even kindly spot patched areas in my front yard. I especially appreciate both Jose and Elias cleaning up all of the areas before they left. I will be requesting them again in the future."

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

Landscaping questions, 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.

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.

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

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.
