"Scott Pinkerton, owner of Green Landscaping, had done some work in the neighborhood of Hulon Greene in West Columbia and came highly recommended by a neighbor down the street. This is our second home. We live in Ohio. Scott submitted a design for the landscape work we were envisioning that was thorough, timely and well designed. We worked with him over the phone throughout the project. From the beginning to the end of the landscape work he was accessible and provided cell phone pictures throughout so that we felt at the end of each day we could see what was happening. The project was finished in about ten days. We witnessed the day-to-day progress through Scott's photographs and his cell phone communication. We are totally satisfied with the project and could not have been happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Scott Pinkerton's company, Green Landscaping Maintenance & Design, to anyone looking for high quality landscaping work."

"Mr. Jason C. and his team are outstanding in customer service, professionalism and workmanship / quality. As we are new to the area, we struggled to find a good landscaping contractor initially. After requesting a quote, LTD gave us a quote the same day and completed the work within 2 days. LTD thought of details for our job we would have missed, and their attention to detail was remarkable. We highly recommend LTD Landscaping for your next project, if you want quality workmanship and impressive results."

"Havier and his crew did a remarkable job installing a new sprinkler system. They not only installed the system in one day but I has laid sod ahead of contacting Javier to put in the system. Javier said they would peel back the new sod and hand dig to install the system since the trencher would tear up the sod. Javier was correct everything went back the way it was to start with. You can not tell anything was dug up. Excellent job!!! I would highly recommend Javier Ramos Landscaping LLC for your landscaping needs. They really take pride in their work."

"I couldn't be more impressed with the results. My yard has never looked better. She is very professional, punctual, hardworking and pays great attention to detail. Very meticulous about mowing, edging and the clean up. Extremely helpful in addressing my lawn issues and has provided excellent referral. Every time she is on my property she goes above and beyond. My front and back yard has been transformed. I highly recommend Gardening Dash for any landscaping needs." In fact, I was told I have the nicest yard in the neighborhood. Thank you Olivia!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Chris called me immediately after I completed the Angi Home Advisor questionnaire. He came to my home the following day, a few minutes before my appointment time. He was well dressed, groomed and very respectful. We went to my backyard and he listened to what my vision was for the artificial turf install. He measured everything and shared some of his ideas, gave me a quote and 1 week later Chris and his team delivered my dream backyard. The expertise and customer service was impeccable. I love my backyard. Thank you Chris and your team."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

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.
