"I put in a quote request on Home Advisor and I was contacted by Apollo immediately. My experience with Lemus Landscaping was very positive! They installed sod on my front yard, pruned trees and shrubs. Everything was done in a professional way. My yard looks amazing now! I’m already thinking about my next landscaping project and it’s a no-brainer, I’m gonna go with Lemus Landscaping."

"It went great! Mr Moreau came out and did an awesome job! I originally planned for 1 day but it turned into a 2 day task as he had to move A LOT of dirt for us. We have gone from having a large unusable space in our back yard to doubling, if not tripling, the amount of usable level ground. This is much needed and reclaimed space. He even managed to smooth out a spot for a great big shed as well. Will highly recommend him and plan on hiring him again in the future for another project. Can't say enough great things about him."

"Great experience from the first visit with Murph to the installation a few days later by a great crew. Everything was done professionally and timely. Nothing was left behind. Additionally, The Sod Man added the landscape rocks, that was part of another project I was working to complete! Great work, highly recommended."

"Highly recommend Pinehurst Turf Pros. They were great to work with and communicated throughout the entire process. They do meticulous work and took their time to make our project look great. Along with the great job of installing our turf, they did an outstanding job of cleaning up after the work was done and I truly appreciated the effort make things like they were before they arrived. Great people to work with and they were also great with letting our dogs join them at times so they could use the backyard. Quality work at a reasonable and fair price."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

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

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.
