"Alan (owner) of Lemonade Landscaping was always on time, worked within out budget constraints, and most importantly made sure we were pleased through the process. The project was orderly, efficient, and wonderful once completed. Will look forward to working with Lemonade Landscaping for future projects!"

"Mr Cieri did an amazing job installing the sod. I would highly recommend Mr Cieri if you are in the market for this type of service. My neighbor's are already asking, who did your yard. Love it."

"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 are professional and are on time. I had some trees die that they planted and they replaced them for free. Also tells me to let them know if it happens again. They also make reasonable recommendations about ways to keep landscaping healthy that wonâ t break the bank. I will continue to go to them for my landscaping needs."

"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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

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.

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.

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.

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.
