"Tim was great! He came to our house prior to hiring them to do a landscape lighting demo. He placed demo lights around the house to show us how it would look. We worked together to figure out where the lights would look the best. We found Tim to be reliable, honest and dependable. We are happy with the job he did and would hire him again."

"Pedro and his team did an outstanding job for our new home. The seed and straw were not growing in our yard that the builder landscaper put down. Pedro came out to discuss the job and what we would like done. They shared recommendations to make it better and sent us the estimate. They were able to install the specific new sod we were hoping for rather quickly, and then followed-up a week later by defining our plant beds around the entire house and refreshing the pine needles. They were very responsive and I appreciated their support. I highly recommend Pedro and his team. Thanks for beautifying our new home!!"

"Very happy with Mills Landscaping. They showed up as promised to give me a quote, and showed up as promised to do the work. Reasonable price and the work looks great. I had reached out to 2 others on Angie's List for this work and one of them never replied at all, the other one promised to come by and give me a quote, but never showed up."

"Our Hardscapes project consisted of construction of a concrete curb and paver strip along the front street side portion of our lawn followed by fescue sod in the front. Also installed were a large decorative stone wall and smaller stone wall in the front garden. Additionally, a short stone wall was constructed in the back garden. Entire project moved along smoothly & in impressive condensed time frame. We are thrilled with the aesthetics of the completed project, the fact that the labor crews have been with Hardscapes for a significant time and are treated like family, and also something that is increasingly rare in today’s hurried environment-good communication regarding weather delays, anticipated start dates, prompt response to questions & project design tweaks. It has been a pleasure working with Adam Simpson & the Hardscapes group."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

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.

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. 

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.
