"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

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

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.

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.

Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they’re established. You’ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape.
