"We had an area of our lawn that despite care and irrigation would not reliably and uniformly grow grass. We hired M&L Landscaping to take out whatever was left of the old lawn and replace it with new sod. They did the work last fall and now with the spring this year it looks OUTSTANDING and is growing fast. The M&L team did a great job and we are very happy with both the results and their commitment to us in the future. A first class job done by highly knowledgeable professionals. We will contract with them again in the future for other landscaping projects."

"We hired Ranardo to do our Spring Clean-Up and Lawn Maintenance . We had contacted multiple Landscape Companies for quotes but several of them never followed up. One contractor wanted us to pay him up front for the work. Ranardo was very responsive and has done an excellent job for our Spring Cleanup and has begun our Lawn Maintenance. Iâ m very happy with Ranardoâ s work."

"Precision Landscape & Excavation did an outstanding job turning my wet back yard into a dry and open entertaining and play area. They removed a 1,600 sf patch of swampy trees then filled, re-graded and hydro-seeded my 10,000 sf yard for improved drainage. Ben and his team then totally transformed the space with their beautiful hardscaping (retaining & sitting walls, granite stairs, paver walkway, patio and fire pit). Their attention to detail exceeded my high expectations and they threw in several finishing touches without charge. The Precision crew provided a top quality job, demonstrated the pride they take in their work, and all at a very fair price. Highly recommended."

"Roy and his team did a great job! They are professional, timely, thorough, and have an eye for detail. We bought a house that had a butchered, antiquated electrical system that was unsafe and chaotic. Roy and his team stepped in and not only sorted out the mess but put in its place a state-of-the-art electrical system that has been greatly simplified, and made safe and convenient (Roy spent time walking through the house with me talking through placement of switches and other features that ensured we had light in all the right places and flows perfectly with day-to-day use). Hire RGS, you'll be glad you did!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

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.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.
