"Four Brothers Landscape trimmed all of my trees (some very large) and shrubs. Cappo called me the same day, visited my home, and provided the cost estimate which was very fair. Shortly thereafter, the work was completed in just one day. They had all of the heavy equipment to do a professional job. They did an outstanding job and completely cleaned up and removed all of the trimmings/branches. They confirmed the work date via text, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They started and completed the job on time and were very accommodating. The crew of five were hard working and respectful of my property, pool, house, and furniture. My neighbor was also greatly satisfied with their work, and a second neighbor just got an estimate for his yard. I highly recommend Four Brothers Landscape and will certainly use them again!"

"Ardian offered an excellent price for completing a unique retaining wall on my property and adding Belgian blocks to the side of my driveway. A previous owner had bought river rocks but only built half the wall, leaving hundreds of rocks all over the yard. I called several companies and all of them wanted to remove the existing stone wall and build a new one with generic blocks, which would cost me tens of thousands of dollars (and still leave me with tons and tons of rocks). Also, the previous owner installed Belgian blocks on only one side of the driveway and I needed to have it completed. Ardian came over for an estimate and said â I have 15 years of experience building this type of wall and Iâ d love to complete it for you.â He also said he could match the Belgian blocks as well. He and his team came on time, as scheduled, completed the job quickly, and cleaned up before they left. The wall he built looks amazing and matches the existing structure (built 30 years ago) perfectly! The Belgian blocks also match perfectly and they are a great finishing touch. My neighbors are all stunned by the work and Iâ ve received several compliments. Thank you Ardian & team for the excellent work! I highly recommend Home Line Construction and will definitely call them back for future projects! -John in Closter"

"Victor and his team did an amazing job on my yard. He put in a paver patio, put in a stone walkway filled with gravel around it, leveled my yard and put sod down. My husband and I love it so much! He gave us a great price for quality work."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Ernest and Sons to construct our patio tiles. We purchased 2' X 2' Tiles and I have to say they did a gorgeous job. I was so pleased with the way they showed up when they said they would. The men that laid out on my job worked so hard. The labor was very strenuous but they never took a break. They were the most conscientious and polite workers I've ever dealt with. They worked neatly, cleaned up totally afterward, and just had a great deal of respect for our property. They really did a beautiful job and Ernest, the owner is a real gentleman also. Love this company!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

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.

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.
