"Michael Ungar, the company rep was punctual in scheduling an estimate, submitting a proposal, and accommodating me with a date of installation. He was also hands on during the installation. The workers were neat and respectful. I would definitely recommend Elegant Lawns for installing artifial turf. Henry Galizia"

Customers say: Quality work

"We initially hired Polanco Brothers to repave a large driveway. They did such a good job on the asphalt replacement we asked them to install a new bluestone/brick front walk and side patio and make repairs to the front steps. The quality of all their work is excellent. The driveway looks better than new, and the walkway looks as though it has always been there. They went out of their way to match materials. Their prices were fair. The workers are polite, courteous and professional. They took great pride in their work, and truly cared about providing a quality result. We are completely satisfied with their work, will certainly use them for other projects in the future and would highly recommend you consult with them on similar work."

"We had a great experience with Epic Landscape Lighting! Al did a wonderful job from the moment he arrived for the estimate until the final installation. He was patient, competent, a knowledgeable designer, and an overall pleasure to work with. Not to mention he was by far the best price from all the other companies we took time to talk with. We couldnt be happier with the final outcome. Highly recommend this company!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

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.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.
