Customers say: Quality work

"It was very humid/hot that day but the owner worked alongside his men to provide constant guidance. Before he began he showed me several pictures of his work and I was therefore able to see what he was capable of. We then discussed in detail what I wanted and he made suggestions based on the size of my yard, what type of plants I wanted and would the design fit in with my neighborhood. At no time was I made to feel stupid about what I wanted. To the contrary he welcomed my input. When finished my yard looked fantastic! I was very pleased with how it turned out and also pleased that he had incorporated some of my ideas. He finally made some suggestions for future changes to my yard. I shared these with my husband who was very enthusiastic. Therefore I would rate the completed work as excellent and can hopefully hire him again soon to have him add in some of his suggestions. Mr Nunez was professional, polite and easy to talk to."

"We had a wonderful experience with Charlie & Sons Construction & Landscaping Inc.! Carlos the owner was very professional and knowledgable. His workers were efficient and did an excellent job. He worked with us every step of the way to make sure our patio was exactly how we wanted it. Carlos also never tried to upsell us on a bigger patio and was perfectly willing to create the original smaller sized one we had discussed at the beginning. Once we realized that we wouldn't have been happy with that size, Carlos worked with us on the price which we feel was a great deal for the size we settled on. When all the work was finished we were amazed at how perfect the patio looked and were very happy we increased its overall size. He also tore up our old sidewalk on the side of the house and installed the same pavers which looks amazing. The only problem (which became a bonus) came when we noticed that his machine ended up ripping up a couple feet at the end of our driveway near the house. Carlos came to us immediately and apologized, and then said he would put the pavers in that area to replace the broken driveway. This ended up looking even better than it did previously as it tied in perfectly with the new sidewalk and the patio. We would definitely recommend Charlie & Sons Construction & Landscaping Inc. to everyone and plan on having them do more work for us in the near future!"

"Outstanding work on my overgrown yard!I called for a major spring reset because my lawn was buried under thick leaves, overgrown shrubs, and invasive weeds. The crew arrived right on time and worked incredibly fast. They cleared out every piece of debris, trimmed the bushes perfectly, and left the property looking immaculate. Their pricing was completely transparent with no hidden fees, and the team was professional from start to finish. I will absolutely hire them again for regular maintenance and highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable yard cleanup!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.

The duration of a lakefront landscaping project is determined by its scope, environmental conditions, and weather impacts. It often takes several weeks to a few months to complete.

Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you’ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it’s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
