"My yard was a mess and Jose gave me a quote on a Friday work started on Tuesday. He and his worker tamed my garden, weeded, cleaned & mulched. Trimmed (way back) my over grown bushes and hauled all the waste away. He will be my forever landscaper. Already have more in the further. On time worked till the work was done. Jose and Martin were very polite and pricing was reasonable."

"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."

"My backyard was so overgrown with all kinds of plants shrubs, small little garden spots throughout the yard. There was a raised Gordon bed. They cleaned everything up for me and hold it all way I now have one solid backyard. They even trimmed my hedges. They were so easy to deal with. They’re very reasonable in price. I am actually having them come back and move stone out of my front yard and make a little patio for me for my swing. I will recommend them to everyone."

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.

Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.

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.

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.

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.
