"Joe Shaw was the most responsive of several landscapers that I contacted. We were trying to get quotes to have our front yard redesigned after having a front porch and master suite added to our home. Joe's quote was comparable to others but his prompt responses and friendly manner are what prompted us to choose Nature Redesigned for our project. We made the right choice. We are more than pleased with the outcome and have faith that Joe stands by his work and his word. He is a man of integrity. The entire Nature Redesigned crew was professional, friendly and hard working. We will certainly call Joe for any future landscaping needs we may have."

"It went great! I have been trying to find a good landscaper since my old landscaper of 25+ years retired. I have hired two others but it didn’t work out. S.O.S. Has been great, William listens and understands exactly what I want. He also offers suggestions and is very responsive. His prices are very reasonable and his workers are good. He will be maintaining my landscaping from now on. If you in search of a landscaper try S.O.S. William is the best!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.
