"Exceptionally well. Jager Landscaping took my 20+ year old tiered garden walls and redesigned and rebuilt the walls to grade better with my sloped backyard. Crew was extremely professional and knowledgeable."

"Actually, I had a demolition done of the concrete on our patio. (and demo, too, of a huge tree stump and root in the middle, which had pulled up sections of concrete). The person who was contracted to do the work was very pleasant as well as thorough as he drove a machine that pulled up the concrete. He was able to finish in the "nick of time" (before colder more unpleasant winter weather set in). The overall estimate for a new patio itself seemed quite high (esp with a stone staircase). So- I opted just to go with this co. for the demolition part, and I was pleased. They also leveled the ground and installed a new gutter pipe which went underground to the edge of what would be a new patio area. Thank you very much!"

"Adam from Visions Landscaping did an amazing job understanding our requirements and planning everything meticulously. He did an amazing job replacing the faulty wiring and damaged bulbs. He even came back a few days later after sunset to see if any of the landscape lights needs adjustments. I would highly recommend Adam to anybody needing help with landscape lighting"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.
