"We removed all of our trees and bushes in our front yard and we were looking for someone to design our landscaping. We wanted a true landscape design architect who listened to us and then would come up with a great plan for our yard. Brent and his team exceeded our expectations in every way. Brent is a true visionary that has an incredible sense of style. We couldn’t be more happy with the way the landscaping turned out. His team was very professional and hard working. They went the extra mile on several occasions and did so with a smile. Brent was also super great at communication and giving us guidance along the way. If you want a top-notch landscaper, then look no further. I promise you won’t be disappointed! I can’t say enough good things about this company."

"Absolutely fantastic experience. I am completely and totally satisfied with the work done. We had a brand new front walkway installed and then the entire front yard landscaping mulched. This has given us gorgeous curb appeal and brought new life to the front of our house. We purchased the home a year ago and the 44 year old pavers that were there were beyond tired looking. I cannot get over the amazing transformation from the work done. The work was done in the most professional manner. After the work was completed everything was fully cleaned up. I am beyond pleased and the work has exceeded my expectations. Thank you ZJs for outstanding work!"

"We had a above ground pool installed late summer and needed edging and grass seeding done. Groundscape was fast responding and had everything done in 2 weeks. The landscaping looks great. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for more upcoming projects."

"Jonathan is conscientious, polite and a very hard worker. He is able to work with me the home owner to spread 10 yds of mulch, while I was giving specific instructions as I helped with the job. He was competent, diligent and flexible with what I wanted to accomplish. I will want to hire him again for other projects around the outside landscape. He answered my text messages and phone calls quickly to give me idea of his arrival and cost of the job. He was fair with his labor rates and we appreciated his honest effort to help us on this job. I am telling my neighbors to hire him, if they need landscape help."

Customers say: Quality work

"BetterWay Excavating gave me the lowest price of the three estimates I got on excavating, grading, and power raking my 7000 sq ft back yard (I am doing the grass seeding myself). They arrived early, completed the work in a day and a half, and did a great job. I fully recommend them."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you’ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it’s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.
