"I am very meticulous and expect things to be completed to the highest standards when using a professional, especially when I am investing a great amount of money. I am new to this area and don't have many references to choose from so I chose this company from the yellowpages. I am completely pleased with the job and the company. Leon looked beyond the basic requirements of this project and noted some landscaping and drainage issues that were not a part of this contract, and fixed them. He went above and beyond what I suspect an average contractor would have provided and I am confident my patio will last for decades due to his effort and attention to detail. This was a relatively small project for this company, but if I ever need any landscaping work in the future, I will not call any other company to do it for me. The workers arrived on time; they maintained a clean and professional work space and put away all the equipment at the end of each workday. They reused my existing pavers; stacked them neatly to the side while preparing the area, and cleaned each brick of dirt and moss before replacing it in the repaired space. Leon returned 24 hrs after the work was completed to ensure everything met his and my approval.

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.
