"We need a LOT of mulch every year and Nick has been great to get us set up early in the spring, every year. He's reliable, responsive and does a great job! Highly recommended for lawncare (he also mows for us) or general landscaping."

"Hard working, extremely reliable, flexible scheduling, polite, courteous, and shows on time. Cleared my backyard of weeds including roots, used pick axe instead of a tiller which would have blended weed roots back into the soil. Disposed of all the weed root waste. Planted zoysia sod as requested, even offered to use his trailer to pick up final load at sod farm in Poolesville, MD about 1 hr and 10 minutes from my home in Shepherdstown, WV saving me time and travel. Timely in completing the work and reasonably priced."

"I hired Appalachian Greens in the Spring to take over the lawn maintenance and landscaping for my father, who is 81 and no longer able to take care of the property. He had let the yard and landscaping get out overgrown and out of control. Appalachian Greens came in and got the lawn, trees, bushes, and weeds under control and looking great again in a matter of weeks. They have also done great work cleaning up leaves in the fall months for my father’s mature neighborhood with a lot of large trees. Their work is always consistent and they are easy to get a hold of when you have questions. I highly recommend their business."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.

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.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

A rock garden can last indefinitely as long as you properly maintain it. Whether solely made of rocks or with greenery incorporated, they generally last a while, though it may vary based on your climate.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
