"I’m so happy with the front yard landscaping done by D&S Landscaping! They completely refreshed the look of my home and made it so much more welcoming. Don and his team was professional, on time, and paid great attention to detail. My front yard has never looked better—I get compliments from neighbors all the time. Highly recommend them!"

"I cannot recommend Jay and the Grounds Keeper team highly enough. I wish I could give them 50 stars! From the beginning Jay was directly involved in EVERY aspect of our project: working with me to define my landscaping needs; working with Craig the landscape architect to define and map out our project; coordinating the various contractors to implement our project and keeping in touch daily throughout the process to monitor progress and to tweak the plan as needed. Jay is the consummate professional and you can tell that he really, really likes (loves!) what he does. Our project involved a comprehensive landscaping makeover for our 100+ year old summer home, with an emphasis on making the outdoor space more "livable" during the summer months when we are in residence. As developed, our plan included installing a driveway, pondless waterfalls, hardy low maintenance plantings, extensive patio, pergola and lighting. We decided to break it into 2 phases: front yard (phase 1) and back yard (phase 2). The front yard project has just been completed and all I can say is that I never EVER realized how beautiful my yard could be. I initially had not thought of including a waterfall, but I sure am glad that I did. It is the centerpiece! Our neighbors have made a point of stopping by to tell us how much they love our new landscaping! I am so excited to see what magic Jay will work on our backyard next spring and look forward to spending more time outside next summer really enjoying my yard to its fullest. Jay has made me fall in love with my old house all over again!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.
