"Jeffrey and his crew were great to work with. A happy and efficient crew showed up at our home and were an absolute pleasure to have on site throughout our project. They truly love what they do and it was a lot of fun to watch them work and interact with eachother all the while providing a great product and flawless and professional install. They were cheerful, respectful and even nice to my dogs who they were installing the turf for. They came in under budget, finished exactly on time and communicated with us the whole way through. Jeffrey was easily accessible, answered texts or calls right away and has followed up with us after install to insure we are loving our new space. We had worked with another turf company in the past and they tried to overcharge us for their mistakes, they were rude, short with us and acted like they were doing us a favor by doing the job. And the quality of the turf was so poor it did not last, hence where Jeffrey and his crew came in to replace with beautiful turf. We may end up doing the front yard now and will definitely call Intelliturf back to do that job."

"Prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, hard-working, and dedicated to fair pricing and exceptional results—That’s NPC 3 Services. Nick’s immediate response to my landscaping emergency, coupled with his extensive plant knowledge and exceptional attention to detail, made NPC 3 the clear choice. His positive can-do spirit and ability to visualize the potential of my property quickly confirmed that we were on the same page. In record time, Nick and his team transformed my overgrown outdoor space by expertly reviving my shrubs and rhododendrons, restoring my half-century-old Red Japanese Maple to its former glory, and completely eliminating dozens of invasive bittersweet vines. The dense overgrowth along my property line was efficiently cleared and removed. I was thoroughly impressed by Nick’s skill and professionalism, and I wholeheartedly recommend NPC 3 Services to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy landscaping expert. You won’t be disappointed!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

Most bamboo can send roots down two to three feet into the ground. However, when stopping bamboo from spreading, the focus is on the runner roots or rhizomes. These roots are much shallower, staying 12 inches or less from the surface, so they’re easier to find and remove. But if you want to remove the bamboo entirely, you’ll have to dig out the full root system.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

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.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.
