"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

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

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.

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.
