"I cannot recommend Jay and the Grounds Keeper team highly enough. I wish I could give them 50 stars! From the beginning Jay was directly involved in EVERY aspect of our project: working with me to define my landscaping needs; working with Craig the landscape architect to define and map out our project; coordinating the various contractors to implement our project and keeping in touch daily throughout the process to monitor progress and to tweak the plan as needed. Jay is the consummate professional and you can tell that he really, really likes (loves!) what he does. Our project involved a comprehensive landscaping makeover for our 100+ year old summer home, with an emphasis on making the outdoor space more "livable" during the summer months when we are in residence. As developed, our plan included installing a driveway, pondless waterfalls, hardy low maintenance plantings, extensive patio, pergola and lighting. We decided to break it into 2 phases: front yard (phase 1) and back yard (phase 2). The front yard project has just been completed and all I can say is that I never EVER realized how beautiful my yard could be. I initially had not thought of including a waterfall, but I sure am glad that I did. It is the centerpiece! Our neighbors have made a point of stopping by to tell us how much they love our new landscaping! I am so excited to see what magic Jay will work on our backyard next spring and look forward to spending more time outside next summer really enjoying my yard to its fullest. Jay has made me fall in love with my old house all over again!"

"I had an excellent experience with Jason's Masonry, who recently installed a new paver driveway and walkway to replace our old asphalt and concrete. Jason provided detailed information about the work and the steps involved in the process. His crew was very detail-oriented, making precise cuts and offering great advice on the aesthetics of the project. I would definitely recommend Jason's Masonry for any concrete or paver work."

"I had a previous company that did not do a good job and I used to always question if they mowed the lawn because I never used to see the difference The first day I used JC Landscaping, I could tell the difference!! My lawn has never looked so amazing. I was honestly impressed."

"I had a big project that required a fence removal, a paver patio install, significant grading, new sod, and a new fence. Gino and his son Lance handled it all perfectly. Great, honest communication, loyal to their customers, and extremely fair pricing. They both helped me avoid problems and think through solutions to my landscaping project that I would’ve never thought about. On top of all of this, any work that was out of scope for them (like sprinklers, lawn treatments, etc), they were able to give me a referral to another reliable contractor. I have already recommended Gino and his team to 3 friends and will continue to do so. Any future landscaping work I have, I know I’ll hire them again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.
