Customers say: Quality work

"I would highly recommend this company!!!! Very professional & did a spectacular job. Cleanup was tremendous. They removed a small tree that fell & removed the stump, trimmed my hedges, cleaned the weeds off of the backyard fence, trimed a very large Crate Myrtle. Adrian put top soil where the tree stump was removed & without any asking also put additional on uneven areas & seeded!!!! He also mulched my back garden & that was not in the quote. Once again I can't say enough about Gauman Landscaping!!!"

"As part of a township U&O inspection, we needed some extensive repairs/replacement of concrete curb, sidewalk pads, and driveway aprons at our house. Zach and his team got the job done at a very fair price and high level of quality, despite some very strict township requirements. Everything was completed in a professional, timely manner and to our satisfaction. When or if I have more more landscaping, hardscaping, concrete, etc work, Romeo Landscaping will be my first call."

"Juan started the job the day I contacted him. He came that night and gave me an estimate. It sounded like a fair offer so I hired him. I was surprised to hear that his crew would be arriving the following day and would also finish the same day. My yard was like a jungle and I pointed out to the crew what was to stay and what was to go. Pablo and Oscar worked tirelessly and followed my requests implicitly. I had many trees and bushes. Only a few flowering bushes stayed put. Removing 3 6' bushes in the front must have been their biggest challenge. I these bushes must have been planted 50 years ago because the roots were thick and deep. But they got them out and covered the area with black mulch. It looks great as does the rest of the yard! Thank you KJ's House Cleaning Company."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.

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.
