"Carl, Garrett and their crew were outstanding from start to finish. I sought four estimates and based my decision not just on price but on how well the contractors educated me regarding the project. Carl was the only contractor to point out my current problems with pitch and drainage, which I had not known, but had caused pooling of water and damage to my current walkway. Not only did he correct the problem but he recommended pavers that I had not before considered, which have completely changed the look and beauty of my walkways. I am delighted with the result. Their masons are talented and first class. Garrett was always on the job and he and his crew were diligent and friendly and checked with me every step of the way. They maintained a clean work site and kept everything out of the way at the end of each workday. I could not be happier and highly recommend Carl Bongiorno & Sons."

"Extremely well l I contacted JG Landscaping to cut my overgrown property in lieu of a summons from the town, given the time crunch Jose from JG Landscaping made it a priority to get on site quickly and remedy the situation quickly and professionally. Jose and his crew went above and beyond and left my property manicured and beautiful. If you need any work do not hesitate to contact JG Landscaping."

"Everything went very well. Steve repaired my front brick walkway and did a very good job. Such a good job that I asked him to repair the back patio slabs. That also came out great. I’d recommend Randazzo Masonry to anyone."

"Was very responsive to my inquiries. He came by when I requested. Gave me a fair quote. I’m very happy with the reseeding of my lawn. He also came by to check on the results after the grass started growing in. I would definitely recommend him to others because he delivered what he said he would. And also explained how to care for the lawn to get the best results from the reseeding."

"Although we got off to a slow start due to the weather, I found Carry Landscaping very easy to work with. Jenn, the office receptionist, and I have become fast buds after weather forced a few cancellations, but once the day came, Bill did all he was supposed to do and more. After speaking with both recommendations from HomeAdvisor, as well as well known landscapers, I found Bill to be the easiest to speak to -and, honestly, not, as they say, so full of himself. He did what I wanted. Others came with minimums, in other words, "This is what I charge, like it or not, whether your job is worth that much or not". Carry met the price I wanted to pay and allowed me to add more plants, which they included in the design. I recommend them highly!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.
