"Gilder and his friendly crew was very professional. The sod was installed in a timely manner. The grass has grown nicely over the last two years. I would hire Gilder and crew again for future landscaping projects. I would highly recommend Gilder and his company to anyone looking for reliable landscapers. Thanks, Gilder!"

"Impeccable craftsmanship from a talented landscape designer. Nelson and his crew showed up on time and installed a stunningly beautiful 13" high retaining wall in my front yard that's perfectly scaled to the size of my small Craftsmen house. After they finished the project, they left the yard even cleaner than they found it. If you're looking for instant curb appeal, look no further than Nelson, an experienced professional with an excellent eye for design who knows exactly what he's doing."

"Working with Four Leaves Landscapes was a complete delight from beginning to end. He took the time to understand my vision, concerns, offered creative recommendations that I hadn't considered, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. He was very meticulous, punctual, and professional. The plants, stones, fresh grass were all carefully placed with care, and was finished on schedule. My front and backyard have been transformed into a lovely area that I now enjoy looking at every single day. I've already received compliments from neighbors, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a landscaping company that blends beauty and craftmanship, I highly recommend Four Leaves Landscapes!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

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.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.
