"I am so pleased with the work they did! It is just perfect, neat and all cleaned up. They cleaned a bed of weeds along with curb and driveway weeds too which I did not request. So they go above and beyond too! I would highly recommend Royal Landscapes. I have them for a few years."

"I found Brother's Landscaping through Angie's List, and Alfredo was very prompt about responding to my request. He came out the next day and gave me an estimate for fall yard clean-up that I couldn't refuse.. We picked a date, he came when he said he would, and my yard has never looked better! Since then, he has come out for mowing/edging and leaf collection, and again did a beautiful job and was friendly as always. We will only use Alfredo for our lawn care from here on out! Thank you, Brothers H Landscaping!!"

"Tim (owner) was great. He listened and gave me quotes for exactly what I asked for (one for Landscaping and one for a patio). The quotes were clear and concise. Due to budget constraints, I was only able to get the landscaping portion done at this time. He scheduled the work several weeks later. He and his crew came out and turned my mess of a yard into something I enjoy looking at. The next day I noticed one of the plantings was blocking the entrance to my crawl space. Tim came out the next day to resolve the issue. I'm so happy with the service I received, I will be scheduling a thatching, aeration and seeding of my lawn in early Spring! Great work. Great customer service. Extremely knowledgeable owner."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
