"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."

"They came and looked at the yard and gave us the estimate which we thought was reasonable. They mowed the grass, pulled weeds and trimmed the shrubbery. They also spread some mulch. They did a very nice job and we were well pleased with the results."

"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

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.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
