Customers say: Terrific value

"Kirk and Amanda were great to work with. We had a pretty bare yard that we just couldn't figure out how to design. They came up with fantastic ideas we never would have thought of (mulch beds casing our driveway, big block patio, etc.). During the process they were extremely professional and flexible! They were accommodating to any changes we made along the way, and we are thrilled with the results. We cannot believe how much we had done (and done well) for the money."

"Really happy with how our fire pit patio turned out. NP Landscaping did a great job from start to finish. The work was completed quickly and the quality speaks for itself. Juan in particular was fantastic to work with. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. Would definitely recommend NP Landscaping to anyone looking for reliable, quality landscaping work."

"The entire process went extremely well. Andrei was excellent. He reviewed our needs, made excellent suggestions how to address 'problem areas', and provided a competitive, detailed proposal. He originally planned to do the work in Spring of 2016. He delayed the work because of weather conditions, i.e. wet spring and a hot, dry summer. He apologized and told us that he wanted to the job right and would not perform the work if the weather conditions were not right. He kept us informed during the entire time. He and his crew did an excellent job emphasizing quality over speed. He is a hard working member of the landscaping crew and was present when the work was being done. We were impressed by his attention to detail. Example. He dug up the cable to prevent his crew cutting it when regrading the property, adding the topsoil, and installing the lawn. We were most pleased with the overall quality of the landscaping job. Andrei provided a late fall fertilization of the lawn. He called us after this work and apologized to us that some of the lawn did not meet his expectations and standards. He told us he would return the following Spring (2017) and over-seed those spots/areas and address any other concerns we might have. We were most pleased with ProCare WeCare. Andrei is experienced enough to thoroughly understand landscaping and dedicated to building his business to provide for his young family. We highly recommend ProCare WeCare."

"Specialscapes installed a paver patio for me. Jay made some design and landscaping suggestions that improved the project. They did an excellent job for a reasonable price. They started and ended on time. The work crew was pleasant and thoughtful."

"It was a true pleasure dealing with Chris F. He did some work for us to make our house more handicap accessible and it immediately has made a huge difference in our lives. While he was here we added a couple more general tasks that have been on my "honey-do" list forever. He was very flexible and quick to fix the extra items. He did a fabulous job on everything, we are so happy. His pricing was very very reasonable. I am already accumulating my next "Chis please fix this" list I'd like him to do around the house and yard. I would highly recommend him for other people to hire for small to large projects."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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.

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.
