"Jose and his team did an amazing job! A+ work, our yard wasnt very big as were in a town house but we needed yard work done the right way. Our yard was a mess after moving in bot level, water puddled up against the house so it caused water to come inside. They did the job right and cant wait to see the plants and lawn come spring time!"
"DMF was outstanding — best landscaping I have had done in the last 20 years. Additionally, it was done at a fair price. I will definitely be using them again."
"Pro Landscapes is the right decision. I had some needed yard repairs and they came in a clutch. David was great and very professional. If you have landscaping needs, this is the team that gets it done."
"Nelson is my go-to guy for any landscaping, yard work, patios, or anything else I need done on my property. After dealing with many unreliable, dishonest, and unscrupulous landscapers in this area, I’m happy to finally have found an honest, responsive, conscientious company that does fantastic work on schedule at a fair price. Nelson won’t be happy until his customer is happy. Very highly recommend!"
"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."
"Atlantic isn't the cheapest--but in my opinion, the best. You always get what you pay for and Atlantic was worth every penny. They started on time and had the job finished when they said they would. Workers were all courteous, and the job was done neatly with minimum disruption to the new sod and lawn. Ian was a pleasure to work with, always returned calls and emails promptly, and went the extra mile when I needed help figuring things out with the system."
"Working with Arthur and the Ballard Enterprises team was a great experience. They did an amazing job with the landscaping, cleanup, and retaining wall. I nearly cried because I haven't seen the outside of my home look decent in so long. :-) The brick for the retaining wall is beautiful and it seems to "brighten" the home. Ballard also did cleanup in my back area and WOW! It looks great and no more walking through tall weeds and mint to get to my deck. I appreciate Arthur teaching me about hostas. I'm not a gardener and know very little about plants and had no idea that was in my yard. And I thought this would take a couple of days but they completed everything in one day. Also I appreciated the quick scheduling of the project and I'm sure my neighbors appreciated it too. :-) Would highly recommend Ballard and have already received many compliments about the work done. I've let them know who performed the work. And I would work with them again."
"How did it go? It was perfect. Any time QL agrees to a job, it's going to be A+ every time. I have used Mr. Lemus' company, Quality Landscape, on several different landscaping jobs. He was fair, thorough, prompt, courteous and does great work."
Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.
Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.
Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.
Yes, such as sod installation and erosion control for comprehensive site improvement.
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.
