"We have a large home and I had let the landscaping around the foundation go for a couple years. I found Modernscapes (Joe Smith) and got a quote. They removed a lot of heavy growth... much work involved. Dug out and fully mulched along the front and sides of the house. Also, one side had never been done and they did a fantastic job. They added a river rock border to the planting beds which really brings the work out and helps keep the mulch in place. The plantings are wonderful ... hostas, rose bush, ornamental grasses, asters, daisies, etc. In addition, we had about 5 ton of river rock added to our pool area. Its an above ground pool and the rock border truly shines. The bulk of the rock is under the decks of the pool... a very classy looking upgrade. They also removed a flower bed that we have not wanted since moving in. It is now seeded. Joe (owner) and James (laborer) were fantastic. Friendly, respectful, nice guys. Hard workers, listened and gave great advice. The cost was very fair and I am happy with it... I picked 'good' simply because I only got the one quote... I like Joe from the start. So... good price because they did a great job, it felt fair, and was done in a timely fashion. But, I cannot say if it was great as I have no comparison. Knowing what I know now (the outcome)... the price was worth the work for sure Punctuality... Excellent. Now, it was June when I decided to do this... so we had the work done in Sept. If you want to hire a landscaper and wait until June to call... expect you won't be seen 'the next week'. That said, Joe was on top of things... kept us posted and when we finalized a date, they were here on time, worked hard, and finished when they said they would. Overall...excellent. highly recommened"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

DIY landscaping is possible, but professional services offer expertise in selecting appropriate plants and designing functional spaces that complement the natural environment and adhere to local regulations.

Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.
