"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer.

"Alex responded immediately to an urgent situation of an overgrown yard. He did an amazing amount of work in a short amount of time. He arrived exactly when he said he would (keeping me posted in a timely manner). He was courteous and professional. Lawn looked like a million dollars when he was done. I recommend him wholeheartedly. I will continue to use him for regular maintenance and planting in the future."

"We recently hired Kevin and his crew for a springtime cleanup and to install stone in our flower beds, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They quoted a fantastic price, arrived on time, and were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire job. The flower beds look absolutely beautiful with the river rock—it really transformed the whole appearance of our yard. Everything was cleaned up nicely and completed with great attention to detail. Highly recommend Kevin and his crew for anyone looking for quality landscaping work!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

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.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.
