"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

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

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.

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

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.
