"Excellent service! Ivan came out and walked the area I wanted fenced, then he came out again when I had another idea. They had numerous problems getting through all the rock in my yard but the job was completed well within the time frame I was given. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that wants an honest contractor!"

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jon and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Jon was professional and I enjoyed working with him. He was incredibly responsive, provided a fair quote, and showed up exactly when he said he would. The job itself was done with remarkable efficiency and precision. Jon completely removed the old stump, leaving my yard looking clean and ready for new landscaping. He clearly takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of the finished product."

"I had contacted other contractors to come out and give me a quote for my project but I kept getting stood up. They came and quoted me on a Sunday no less and immediately put me on the books. They showed up on time and were polite and courteous. They equipment left some ruts in my yard but they showed up after they completed the job and fixed the ruts. They went above and beyond for me without asking and were super easy to work with. I will definitely be calling them first for any future concrete work I'll need in the future and refer any family and friends to them."

"They immediately came out and gave me a quote, which was very fair. We discussed power washing the driveway and sidewalk to my front door. They came out earlier than expected and did a phenomenal job! They also cleaned my front porch and all of my landscape blocks. They went above and beyond, in my book! I'll definitely hire them again soon, to clean my siding."

Customers say: Quality work

"Fence Looks Great I made a request to change the design shortly after they started which required them to remove and reinstall a section. They did so graciously and without added cost. They also came back and repaired a gate that got damaged by the lawn service shortly after completing the project. Organized the project to minimize the impact on my neighbor's dog having access to their adjoining yard. Removed old fence debris promptly and safely."

"I called five different concrete companies. John Henry was the best and best priced. His crew got to the job on time and finished in time. He would text me progress as he went as we were gone on a trip. He came back on a Saturday to clean up and make sure everything was in great order. Just Awesome."

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.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

When planting, it's best to leave several feet between a house and a juniper bush. Many juniper varieties will become quite bushy and require space to grow. Juniper branches that come into contact with siding can damage the home's exterior over time. Also, some juniper bushes have aggressive roots that can put pressure on a home's foundation or basement walls. 

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones.
