"Joe and Oceanside came to our rescue when we were running out of time before a family reunion. We were waiting for a paving company to do a job before we could plant grass. There was a long delay and, as the date of the reunion approached, we desperately needed someone to agree to sod in whatever window of time we might have before the reunion date. Joe came and put our minds at rest, agreed to help. He also took time to answer some questions we had about the rest of the yard. We would definitely recommend Joe and Oceanside to anyone needing landscaping work of any kind. As he said, “We do it all.”"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Talked in person with Andrew himself. He's a straight talking, fine fellow who knows exactly what he is doing. That's increasingly rare these days. My wife and I (she's tough, by the way) are more than pleased with the job that they perform faithfully and right on time each week. Many thanks to all involved for solving our landscape needs."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

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.
