"Paul and Laura of Experienced Landscape Design, LLC are Professionals, prompt, reasonable, excellent communicators, very friendly, dependable, and easy to work with. They went with me to the nursery to discuss what kinds of plants I liked and create the style I was looking for, using their knowledge of what would grow well in my area and be deer resistant. They worked within my budget and gave great service. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future."

"We hired Sage landscaping to create a new backyard that involved clearing trees, regrading, and installing a retaining wall. From start to finish, I couldn't have been more pleased with the work and the end result. Ed Sage provided some very good advice in the design phase that really helped the project immensely in the end. The whole team that worked on the project was impressive and demonstrated a strong work ethic, competence, and a desire to do things the right way. No supervision needed, which is rare. I could completely trust the team. There were no slackers on the team and no one cutting corners. The whole team brought a "can-do" attitude which was a pleasure to deal with when changes were required from original project scope. They strived throughout to ensure that I was happy with the work. While Sage wasn't the cheapest upfront, I believe they were the best value given the quality of work delivered. I will certainly be using Ed and his team going forward for all my landscaping needs."

"I hired WC Fields Landscaping for several projects. I was given estimates that were very reasonable. I was advised of every step during each project, my questions were always answered with thoughtfulness and professionalism. I am hiring them for a few other, larger projects. I would highly recommend them. My new sidewalks, and new paver walkway in front looks amazing! Keith is an expert and his work crew is absolutely amazing. They worked straight through each day, did amazing work, and never left a mess for us to clean. Total professionals. Every time I called WC Fields and got an immediate response. How refreshing!"

"Adam from Visions Landscaping did an amazing job understanding our requirements and planning everything meticulously. He did an amazing job replacing the faulty wiring and damaged bulbs. He even came back a few days later after sunset to see if any of the landscape lights needs adjustments. I would highly recommend Adam to anybody needing help with landscape lighting"

Customers say: Quality work

"If I could give Sun Country Landscaping, Inc more stars, I absolutely would. They just finished up a big job for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish Dave and his crew were prompt, professional, and the quality of the workmanship was great. We have at least one other phase of work to be done, and Dave will definitely be getting the call when we're ready to start."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

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.

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.

Yes, landscaping costs are generally a worthwhile investment that can increase your property value. Landscaping can boost your home's value by up to 30% by improving its curb appeal, which can help it sell faster and for a higher price. Specific projects have a high return on investment (ROI); for example, revamping a front walkway can offer a 100% ROI, while a pristine, well-manicured lawn can deliver an impressive 217% ROI. In addition to the financial returns, you also get to enjoy the improvements, especially with features like an outdoor living area.
