"The masonry on our front porch was crumbling, and the stones in our back-yard patio were becoming uneven. Horizon Landscaping Designs made both look brand new again! They were prompt, professional, and stuck with the original estimate. I'd definitely hire them again!"

"Clever and Angela are very professional and Mari is excellent at responding by email or phone. The Landscape Design is still in progress, and I appreciate their creativity and personalization. All the work has been laid out in steps. The weekly yard service is timely. The landscapers have hit a few irrigation heads and lights, and a statue in my yard has been knocked over all summer. But overall, they are excellent and I would highly recommend them."

"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!"

"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."

"Due to my new role as a primary caregiver, I decided to research a local lawn service provider. After careful consideration, I decided to use Moyer Lawn Service & Landscaping even though the providers wasn’t the cheapest. I started with the regular routine mowing service. Then decided to use Moyer for a special clean up project. Jose and his 6 men crew started the special yard clean up project on June 14th at 8:00am. The crew expertise went directly to cutting back the ivy, honey suckle, bamboo, and VA creepers on the chain link fence. Pruning the shrubs, Azaleas deadwood, cut down some small trees. Also include some general yard area maintenance. The end result was a picture perfect yard done by a well qualified landscaping crew."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.
