"We love the walkway that was installed! It is functional AND beautiful. Southern Grove Landscaping is a small operation, so we had to wait for a couple of months to begin the job. Once the job was initiated, it only took a few days to complete. When they left, only about 3 inches on either side of the walk was affected, and they finished that with soil and grass seed. They originally planned to use digging equipment to prepare the job, but later determined it was not possible to get the equipment in our small entry gate. They respectfully prepared the job by hand, without charging us extra. We could not be happier with the quality of work. The quote was similar to others, and they came out to discuss options with us before sending a quote."

"This is what I posted on my neighborhood Facebook page: "If you’re looking for a landscape company, we HIGHLY recommend ANDERS LAWN & LANDSCAPE. We had a large strip of ongoing pooling of water along the side and back of our yard, the grade in our yard was not draining the water to the sewer as it should. Knowing it would require a lot of dirt to build up and drain properly, as well as grass seed, we put out requests for quotes. Chad with Anders was the first to call and promptly came out that day. After receiving several estimates, we went with Anders. They were professional, on time and took pride in their work. Chad continued communication, which is key with me, before and even after the job was complete to make sure we were satisfied. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.""

"After a season of keeping up the landscape, I was ready to give this job up.  And I was tired of paying multiple bills for various services.
Received several bids on "full service"  residential lawn/landscape service including spring clean and irrigation maintenance.  
Dave from Peabody very timely in his responses, and competitive with bid vs. other reputable providers.   Everything nice and itemized, and flexible to tweak a la carte.
Once signed, the grounds team was very fast to get scheduled and work was very clean.  Impossible to get everything on the first go-round when you aren't living there, but the fore-woman Jammi, was very open to feedback and quick to touch things up.  She is also very knowledgable on her plants!
Turf crew has mowed appropriately, not excessively, and very tidy.
Dave continues to impress with periodic checks and professional interactions.
If you are looking for cruise control/ "one stop shop", Peabody is definitely a great provider.

"We live in the city of Pittsburgh and researched all turf options. We have two large dogs that turned our back yard into a mud pit and the one dug holes all over the yard. The decision to Forever Lawn K9 Grass was the best decision ever. No more cleaning dogs off on rainy days and not holes at all. I would recommend ForeverLawn to anyone in the region."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.
