"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

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.
