"2019: This is the first year we hired this company to service our lawn on a regular basis. So far, so good. They seem better than our former landscapers. Excellent customer service, courteous and organized billing! 2022 UPDATE: We no longer use this company mostly due to property damage and poor customer service. Our regular landscaping crew was changed and the service went downhill from there."

"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."

"Epic Landscape Lighting came highly recommended by our neighbors that had just used them and were thrilled. Al and his team went above and beyond- from the design layout that he created through the execution. Our front and back yards are so elegantly illuminated - best of all they worked really quickly and came in UNDER budget."

"The whole process went well from start to finish. Thiago of classical pavers was very professional from the start. Everything was timed just right and executed perfectly. We met at the start of the project and communicated either via text or email. Pavers were delivered on Friday and the job was completed in Saturday. I could not be happier."

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.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Yes, such as sod installation and erosion control for comprehensive site improvement.
