"Very happy with the service. Last July Charles and his sons did a great job designing the landscape in my front yard, cleaning out the weeds, laying down soil, rocks and mulch and planting beautiful trees. My neighbors commented my front yard never looked better in the past. Charles and his sons would come every month maintaining the landscaping (very cost effective) and this year they've returned to fertilize the plants and even plant flowers. As a result of the great work they've done they were asked to do landscaping work for a couple of my neighbors which speaks to the type of work they do. I would definitely recommend them for up-keeping your current front/back yards and redesigning your landscape."

"Abdul has a pleasant personality and his business ethics are excellent. Punctual and very accommodating. His crew members are very skillful obliging and prompt. The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. The final project turned out great. I would recommend them to those who need a deck to be installed Joan and Jack V. Massapequa"

"Epic Landscape Lighting came highly recommended by our neighbors that had just used them and were thrilled. Al and his team went above and beyond- from the design layout that he created through the execution. Our front and back yards are so elegantly illuminated - best of all they worked really quickly and came in UNDER budget."

"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall. I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."

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.

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.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

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.
