"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!"

"I was extremely satisfied with High Quality Service Landscaping. My garden looks beautiful. They removed all the weeds and filled in bags of Mulch and designed small white rocks all around. It's just breath taking. They also painted my railings, removed the rust and primed it and painted black. I am so happy with the quality work they accomplished. I plan to hire them again in the future to install fence around the yard. They are the best. HIGH QUALITY Service Landscaping speak to Janeth Ortega the boss, she's the best and very understanding."

"Our experience with Polanco Bros Landscaping was amazing. The owner Hugo and his workers were all very professional, kindhearted and the final results far exceeded our vision for our front yard. We've had neighbors stop us and talk to us for the first time since we moved to Queens. This is how breathtaking the landscaping results turned out to be, that people who never spoke to us, found a way to tell us how amazing the work was. Thank you to Polanco Bros Landscaping for making this an unforgettable experience that will last for a lifetime! The flowers are already blooming nicely. It was money well spent, an investment into the beauty of our home."

"Our Loading Dock and Parking Lot was packed with snow which ultimately turned to ice. Unable to receive deliveries staff couldn't enter to park. I reached out to Angi online and i almost immediately was contacted by East Coast Creative Landscaping. Manuel came out to view the scope of the work quoted me a reasonable price and I received the written quote/Invoice, and Manuel was on site the very next morning. I must say how impressed i was with the quality of and professionalism of the work done by Manuel and his team. His friendly demeanor was the icing on the cake. I would Highly recommend this company. I will certainly be utilizing East Coast Creative for all of our landscaping/ snow removal needs and anyone reading this should consider utilizing this great small business also. KT CMMB"

"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."

"Prior to these guys saving our property, we foolishly hired an under-qualified contractor to install a large patio and retaining wall system. It turned out to be a never ending nightmare from the start that left us with pooling water everywhere, mud leaking thru walls and stairs that were falling apart. We hired Classical Pavers to hopefully resolve all our issues, and boy did they deliver. These guys are true landscape engineers! They uprooted the previously installed pavers, flawlessly re-pitched and graded the base, planned for all the possible drainige issues that might come up, and completely cleaned the pavers and property of any remnants of their work. I could not be happier with the professionalism of every level of their services. I would absolutely recommend them, and only use them for any and all future projects."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

In addition to aloe vera and lilac, other effective humidity-reducing plants include peace lilies, Boston ferns, English ivy, spider plants, and lucky bamboo. These plants thrive in humid environments and can naturally lower moisture levels. Place them in areas prone to dampness for the best results.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.
