"I have hired different landscaping services and can say that Carolinaâ s Landscaping is by far the best. They are punctual, hardworking, courteous, and know what they are doing. They mow my lawn weekly, trim all shrubs and hedges as needed, saw limbs that have fallen from huge trees, perform fall leaf removal, and they do it all for a good price and a happy attitude. This is a great company with excellent service."

"Mr. Snyder and his son were great to work with. I scheduled an on-site lighting demonstration and was highly impressed at his ability to accentuate certain aspects of the home with temporary setups. I immediately made the decision to have the work done. He provided everything I needed to gain approval from my HOA and that was a big help! The time and level of detail he puts into his jobs is wonderful. I would highly recommend anyone looking for landscape lighting to utilize his services.

"Jose did an installation of my irrigation system and also fine tuned the sprinkler heads. He was reasonably priced and did a great job. After a few weeks, I had to fine tune the sprinkler heads. He initially assisted me over the phone and also visited the house next day to do the tuning. I’d confidently recommend Jose to others who are in need of the landscaping services."

"They trimmed our 30+ ft crepe myrtles, seeded, aerated, put down lime and fertilizer, then 18 cu yards of topsoil over our southern clay soil. They are also scheduled for may to come a put out weed and feed to get our lawn in golf course lush look. Mr Reyes and his workers were exemplary. They were punctual, and worked the entire 2 days to get the job done. And there pricing was better than the other 4 companies we had estimates from. They are licensed and insured. Not all companies are. Just the best people to work with. They will definitely get our business from now on. The topsoil was bought from markham landscape materials on Lakeview and wt harris. It was delivered to our home before yard prep was done. 1st day was just pruning our 5 huge crepe myrtles. Again Mr Reyes believes in perfection and we are thoroughly satisfied with workmanship, punctuality, and price. Thank you."

Landscaping questions, 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.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

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.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.
