"Kevin's team did a great job on my landscape project. They were punctual, professional and were easy to work with. Kevin came out to the jobsite and did a great job in mapping out my project. When his team came to work, they were very friendly, wasted no time and I ended up with a fantastic yard."

"Jeff Kale and his crew were great to work with. We had 24 trees and plants, beds and mulch done in our backyard. The trees are vibrant and healthy, beautiful. The crew did a great job. We are definitely going with Jeff Kale for our front yard landscaping next year."

"I was very pleased with Divine Lightscapes. Communication was swift and efficient. And was a lot through text. Which I love because I'm not able to speak on the phone during the work day. I just bought a new house that had existing landscape and deck lighting but everything was out. I purchased the big deal and they replaced all of my bulbs and fixed all my broken connections. They were even able to do everything while I was away from home so I didn't have to miss any work. Thank you. I would definitely recommend

Customers say: Quality work

"Chris and his team did an excellent job with removing our old fence and installing a new fence around our yard. We wanted to have an arbor as the entrance to our backyard. I showed Chris some ideas from Pinterest and he came up with a design and built it perfectly. We are so pleased! He was responsive, easy to work with, and fast. I highly recommend him for any fencing or landscaping job."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Gutierrez Lawn Maintenance. We recently had them tackle a major backyard overhaul that included a full drainage solution, fresh soil, and new sod. The results are incredible and it feels like a completely different yard! They offered a very fair price and the quality of the installation was top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that is professional and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend them."

"We hired Mills Landscaping two different times recently. The first time was to cut down a few trees and have the stump removed. They did such an amazing job that I decided I need a few more things done. They came back and installed a border along my front my house for my plants and added some more gravel stones to my fire pit area. They also cleaned up the weeds which I hate doing! I highly recommend Mills Landscaping as they not only do an amazing job but they are extremely affordable!"

"Our Hardscapes project consisted of construction of a concrete curb and paver strip along the front street side portion of our lawn followed by fescue sod in the front. Also installed were a large decorative stone wall and smaller stone wall in the front garden. Additionally, a short stone wall was constructed in the back garden. Entire project moved along smoothly & in impressive condensed time frame. We are thrilled with the aesthetics of the completed project, the fact that the labor crews have been with Hardscapes for a significant time and are treated like family, and also something that is increasingly rare in today’s hurried environment-good communication regarding weather delays, anticipated start dates, prompt response to questions & project design tweaks. It has been a pleasure working with Adam Simpson & the Hardscapes group."

"I had ABS come out to clean up and refresh our backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their quote was very reasonable compared to other options we considered, and they were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and did a fantastic job clearing everything out and laying pine straw. The attention to detail really made a difference, and the yard looks better than it has in years. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that provides great communication, fair pricing, and high-quality work, I highly recommend ABS. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.

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.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
