"Working with Joe and his business has been a great experience. We’ve been working with Joe for a few years and he’s the most reliable and consistent contractor we’ve had out to our home. He’s responsive, accessible for questions/concerns and always willing to help us with our fall/spring projects. He has also given us creative solutions when we needed to be conservative with our spending. We highly recommend Joe Landscaping!"

"I hired American Way Landscaping to repair my gabion wall that the light weight rocks all washed off of and instal a staircase over the rocks so that we can get to the water. I added a gate to the steps as an after thought to keep my neighbors young kids safe and block access to the water and sand. These guys are THE BEST contractors that I have ever had!!!! Jesus really listens to your project requests that you want done and gives you all the options that you have. He shows you digital images, so you get a better idea what your finish project will look like too. Not once, have I looked outside and saw any of them sitting around or wasting time, even with those mega hot days. I brought them out ice pops to try to cool off. They worked as they ate them too. Their hard work and finished projects caught the eye of neighbors and I believe they scored 2 more jobs, and I am sure they will score more as other neighbors see them! I know that I will hire them again!"

"Professional, timely and thorough. I am also using them for my lawn care and may I say my lawn has never looked greener. The only yard in my neighborhood with no dandelions :) It's still early in the season but so far so good. I couldn't be happier."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

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.

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.
