"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'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.

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.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

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.

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.
