"I can’t say enough good words about D&S Landscaping. They completely transformed our backyard into an additional living space for our home, and changed the way we use and enjoy our property. The design was perfect, the landscaping was beautifully executed, and the paving stones added such a high-end feel. The lighting they installed brings everything to life at night — it’s stunning and makes us want to spend all our extra time outside. The quality of their work is top-level, and the team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!"

"I hired Top of the Line to do snow & ice removal for my entire property which entailed a full length driveway, front porch, backyard, deck & full patio plus the sidewalk. I contacted them almost a week after the recent big snow storm that left 2 feet plus the added snowfalll a few days after which added another 6" on top. The wait complicated conditions by adding a thick layer of ice on top of the snow mounds plus a layer underneath on the ground. I could barely move in my backyard with the amount of snow & dreaded even going outside when it all turned to ice. It was a difficult & challenging job that they made look easy. Matt & Alex were diligent, extremely hardworking & very professional. Plus, they're respectful, polite & friendly. These gentleman worked really hard not cutting corners but got everything done so quickly. They were very thorough & meticulous, cleared everything, took it all right down to the blacktop plus salted literally everywhere. They did an excellent job that exceeded my expectations. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Matt & Alex. They came to my rescue & saved me a lot of aggravation. I will definitely be using Top of the Line Lawn, Landscaping & Property Mgmt again & in the future for all my property maintenance needs. I would highly recommend them. Oh, and their prices are very reasonable, to say the least. I'm a happy satisfied customer."

"For some reason, many of the contractors I contacted did not want to do this job of repairing the curb in front of my property. Jason provided a quick estimate, follow up, and execution and completion of the job. There were many hurdles to jump with getting permits approved and reviewed by the local municipality, but Jason coordinated the timing and it worked out perfectly. The Curb looks great. Jason is a nice guy and easy to work with; his team worked really hard through two hot days. Would definitely recommend Jason's Masonry."

"I had a big project that required a fence removal, a paver patio install, significant grading, new sod, and a new fence. Gino and his son Lance handled it all perfectly. Great, honest communication, loyal to their customers, and extremely fair pricing. They both helped me avoid problems and think through solutions to my landscaping project that I would’ve never thought about. On top of all of this, any work that was out of scope for them (like sprinklers, lawn treatments, etc), they were able to give me a referral to another reliable contractor. I have already recommended Gino and his team to 3 friends and will continue to do so. Any future landscaping work I have, I know I’ll hire them again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

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.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

A rock garden can last indefinitely as long as you properly maintain it. Whether solely made of rocks or with greenery incorporated, they generally last a while, though it may vary based on your climate.
