"Exceptional experience! Alan at Lemonade Landscaping took the time to listen to my project goals and then Lemonade Landscaping put in the sweat to bring it to life! Lemonade Landscaping revitalized an unsightly urban 1/2 acre - tamed the overgrowth, tore down the derelict shed and garage, rerouted pathways and graveled the drive - all the while respecting the fruit arbors and ornamental spaces on the property. This was not a just a simple mow-and-go. This was a landscape turnaround and Lemonade Landscaping delivered!"

"I have worked with Hutchins Landscape since 2016, not long after we moved into our property in Durham. My lawn is gorgeous thanks to the year-round care of Jon Hutchins and his crew. I cannot thank Jon enough for the MANY ways he has improved our property: landscape design; an array of beautiful plantings that flower during different seasons throughout the year; a seven-station irrigation system; a rock patio in the back yard; a fence for the property; and low-voltage landscape lighting. Any time I have requested service, Jon and his wife Carmen have always promptly responded. They are kind, professional, and personable. It is clear that they really care about their customers and take pride in their business. I cannot recommend them more highly--they are the best!"

"Swanson quoted a fair price and after working to reschedule because of rain, showed up promptly and ready to work with a plan. Things changed a bit (there was an unknown existing blocked french drain) but work was completed on time and seems to be working as needed. I'm certain this was a much less creative task than their usual landscaping creations, but they were very professional and I would hire them again for more interesting work. Thanks!"

They got back to us quickly with a quote, arrived to do the job when they said they would, and gave us excellent service. Matt was incredible and went way beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend Triangle Greens and Grass for your next project!!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.
