"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

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

The best landscape edging tool depends on you and your needs. For homeowners who are looking for a budget-friendly edging material, plastic might be the best option for them. However, homeowners who want a low-maintenance option might opt for concrete or brick. Since there are loads of gardening edging ideas, decide what factors (maintenance, style, or budget) are most important to you to help you narrow your choices.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”
