"I recently had synthetic grass installed by this landscaping company, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The team was incredibly quick and efficient, completing the job smoothly and with great attention to detail. They communicated clearly throughout the process and left the area spotless. The synthetic grass looks natural and has transformed my yard beautifully. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality work done swiftly and professionally!"

"I highly recommend Williams Irrigation & Lawn Service. I had a massive brush pile from trimming a tree in my front yard over the weekend, and they completely took care of the clean up. They were able to come next day after contacting them, arrived on time, and worked efficiently to clean up everything. My yard was spotless, the price was excellent, and the crew was incredibly professional. A+ service!"

"Large landscaping job: about 600 metal edge with river rock, decomposed granite, a raised bed with limestone edge and over 200 plants. With weather delays, took about two weeks. Danny was very accommodating as the project grew and evolved. He was fair in pricing and was eager to make right the one issue we had after the fact. We would highly recommend!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

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.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

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.
