"Mr. Santos came out to the house to look at several landscaping projects that I had going on. He provided a competitive quote for the entire project and he offered to help me remove some branches off a tree in the front yard on the spot. He pruned the dead part of the tree and nicely stacked up the sticks and limb for the city to pick up. Very kind gentlemen and I plan to hire him again."

"I couldn't be happier with the work done by Lake Norman Lawn Systems. They truly transformed my outdoor space and the selection of plants was clearly well-thought-out, as they perfectly complemented the existing landscape. The communication was seamless, and I'm beyond delighted with the results."

"Chisum and his landscaping crew did an excellent job removing old stone, installing weed fabric, and laying fresh mulch. The team was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything looked great and was cleaned up perfectly afterward. Highly recommend for quality landscaping work."

Customers say: Quality work

"Steve at A&A was great to work with. He and his crew built a retaining wall around my patio and landscaped the perimeter. He always kept us up to date on the progress of the project by always staying in communication with us. He was the only one to provide an itemized quote so it was very easy for us to understand what we were paying for. His pricing was very fair and he was honest and knowledgeable about what he was working with. He was able to take my concept on paper to a reality. When it came time to break ground, the crew worked quickly and efficiently. They all cleaned up after themselves and completed the job in the time I expected. They even mulched my front yard with the leftovers which was an added bonus and a great surprise! I would highly recommend A&A to anyone looking for landscaping services. I would definitely use them on my next project. Great job guys!!!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.

During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.
