"JS Landscaping did a fantastic job of removing the leaves from my front and backyard. Jose was great to work with scheduling the appointment. He fit me in on his first availability. The crew showed up on the scheduled day and efficiently collected all the leaves and transferred them into their vehicle. Outstanding job. Billing was all done through Quickbooks, which was super easy. Thanks Jose, appreciate all of your help."

"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."

"Twins Evergreen Landscaping crew was a pleasure to work with. Ashley and Juan walked with me with what I wanted done and Ashley provided me with a detailed estimate including the steps they would take to accomplish my project number of landscaping crew and a list of the cost of each step or product needed. I knew what to expect from the beginning and with the detailed estimate. The scope of work was understood and the work was completed timely with no issues. The landscaping crew were hard working and did a fasctastic job clearing my overgrown flower beds and yard. I didn't realize how much anxiety the state the yard was causing me until after they completed the job. I have hired Twin Evergreen Landscaping for byweekly mowing and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping. Ashley, Juan and their crew were definitely an answer to my prayers and I look forward to working with them for any future projects."

"Ian was professional and a great first contact with the company.His follow through was thorough and complete, taking into account the numerous requests I had. Henry and his crew worked a very long day to finish up and didn t leave until I was familiar with programming the system and clean up in the yard was complete. We re very happy with the job and look forward to not having to move sprinklers around the yard."

"They covered our entire 1/2 acre property which a few years back was the runner-up in the Baltimore Sun's best gardens review. Edged and cleared out all of our beds, spread 10 yards of mulch, and rebuilt a 70 yard long french drain. Our neighbors commented "It's looks like something you see in a magazine." We agree! Amazing team -- so polite, attention to detail, and hard working. Love these guys!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

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.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.
