We work throughout Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Portland, and Scarborough, providing lawn care, seasonal cleanups, planting, and landscape design. Our team also specializes in hardscape installation, including patios and walkways, and offers dependable snow services during the winter months. With a focus on sustainability, we use regionally suited plants and thoughtful design to create outdoor spaces that look great and support the local environment. Whether maintaining a small garden or transforming a full property, our team is committed to quality work and strong communication. Let us help bring your landscape to life with care, creativity, and respect for the place we call home.

"Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Garden Guys for a landscape installation project at my home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The team was incredibly attentive to my ideas and needs. One of the things that stood out to me were their general attitudes. They seemed to have a great time doing the work at hand were very friendly to me and my wife. That is not always the case with landscape companies. They installed a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees, all of which are growing in beautifully. We were able to incorporate blooming all season which has been a very nice thing to have. We have a hardscaping project scheduled for next summer and we are very excited. We are getting a new patio on the backside of our house. I highly recommend Garden Guys to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services."

We are a family owned business in operation since 2000. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and outstanding customer service. Our company was founded on the ability to provide all aspects of property maintenance through the use of one company rather than multiple contractors. Award winning.

"Ok.....the lawn was mowed when it was wet and instead of a clean cut, the grass was all matted. The leaves were removed, but the cutting back and cleaning up of beds was messy. The crew came on a cloudy day in the afternoon and were working into the dark. I think that they were rushed and didn't pick up some of the leaves matted down in the beds on the property line. When I checked in with them, they came right over and were very responsive and polite. When asked if I would hire them again, I think that i would would a bit more guidance around the quality of the finished job."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

Yes, you need to use landscape fabric under your rubber mulch. Rubber mulch doesn’t decompose, so putting landscape fabric down can work as a barrier between your mulch and soil, preventing your mulch from mixing with your soil and leaching chemicals like aluminum, cadmium, and copper into it. Also, since weeds can occasionally get through rubber mulch, using landscape fabric as a second form of protection can increase its effectiveness. 

If you’re mulching in the fall, aim to lay down the material right after the first frost, which will vary by climate. Late October and early November are good time ranges to aim for. Try to lay down your mulch after a light rainfall to lock in moisture for root growth through the winter.

Mulching any time of year can be beneficial, so you can choose based on your preference. Most homeowners avoid the winter and summer because of the uncomfortable temperatures, so spring and fall are often best. Try not to mulch right before heavy rainfall or a big storm is expected, as wind and runoff can move newly laid mulch around and make more work for you.

Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.

Each bag of mulch includes 2 cubic feet of mulch. And since a cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet of materials, you'll need 14 bags of mulch to have enough to cover a cubic yard. The right amount of mulch for your yard, however, depends on the depth of the mulch, the type of mulch you choose, and your desired look.
