"In recent months, it has been difficult to get home repair men and yard workers to actually show up when they said they would., or even return my calls. Garden Zest Landscaping returned my call, came on the day and time they promised, and gave me a reasonable quote. They did the work immediately, and the trees and shrubs looked great. They were pleasant to work with, delightful in fact. Ià ¢à  à  ll definitely be calling them again."

"Keith and the C-scape team did an awesome job. After struggles with coordinating other landscapers Keith responded in more than a timely manner. The job was completed professionally, thoroughly and timely. The grading completed was excellent and took care of existing problems. I could not be more satisfied with the finished project and the job completed. They will be maintaining the landscaping at an excellent price. Look forward to continuing with C-Scape!!"

"Their work is beautiful. We had edgers put in around the whole area and it looks great. The corners are perfectly mitered and the whole area is level. They did the job quickly and were spotless when they finished. Also, they were responsive to my calls and requests."

"I was very pleased with Larry and his team at Brickscapes. They arrived on time and did a professional landscaping job on my new bushes and plants and mulch and cleanup. They were very accommodating when I needed a temporary watering system too. Excellent work."

"Dakota, the owner is awesome. What can I say? He answers the phone. He responds to texts. He shows up. He does a great job. And is generally just very nice guy. I need a Landscaper last year very late in the season. I think it was mid May or so. I was very late to the game. Grasshopper was the only one to respond and the only one who said â yeah we can do itâ . Very impressive and I highly recommend this company."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.
