"Majestic Landscapes & Gardens created the beautiful landscape in our backyard that I always knew existed but couldnâ t do myself. The overgrown vines and bushes made it look like a jungle and we stopped going out into it. Thank you Majestic Landscapes & Gardens for our new Oasis!!!! My family & I love it and so do our neighbors."

"If anyone has read my reviews in the past, one would know that I hold NOTHING back. Since May of 2020, I have been embedded in the worst home owner's improvement experience in my 44 years of life on this earth. I would not even get into detail on this review, as it would be an insult to even mention other companies names with Castro Rivera. Castro Rivera is like no other company I have dealt with. I knew from the very moment I reached out that I had found someone very special. They basically took my nightmare and turned it into a dream come true. They were the final "step" so to speak in having my property "reconstructed" after the DISASTER that 2 other companies left me with. I dealt with Mike and Juan from Castro Rivera, and I am not sure who was nicer. In a nutshell, they were young, yet two of the most professional men I have ever dealt with. Juan responded IMMEDIATELY to my request (which by the way was at like midnight while I was desperately searching for a landscaper). I would not expect this to be the norm, although it would not surprise me on bit if Juan answered at all hours of the night. Mike and Juan revamped an entire section of my backyard, leveled out mounds and mounds of mud, planted beautiful trees and perennials, and laid sod down (not only in the areas requested, but he had extra and I walked out to the most amazing surprise to see other areas groomed and perfected). Each time they said they would be here, they were here. They were on time, worked hard, cleaned up beautifully, and their final project came out flawless. I have found a new company to address all of my landscaping needs. Please believe me when I say there are crazy, unprofessional contractors out there that are capable of ruining your home! It happened to me as 2 companies destroyed my backyard attempting to build a simple cement patio. Castro Rivera Landscaping saved the day...and you have an entire family who are forever grateful!"

"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"

"I highly recommend this landscaping company! From the first conversation to the completion of the work, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. They clearly know what they’re doing when it comes to landscaping, planting, irrigation, garden maintenance, and overall outdoor design. The work was done carefully, efficiently, and with a real eye for detail. What impressed me most was the knowledge and experience — they didn’t just do what was asked, they also gave practical suggestions that genuinely improved the project. Communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would, and the final result looked even better than I expected. It’s not easy to find people who take real pride in their work, but that was definitely the case here. Professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and hardworking. I would absolutely use them again for future landscaping projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping work in NYC."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones.
