"Madeline did an excellent job with removing weeds and weed block (sometimes 2 layers), movIng schrubs and hostas. She also dug a new border and laid down 3" of new cedar mulch which she got from Lowes and put around existing shrubs and Hydranga. I would highly recommend Madeline for your landscaping project. She has good landscaping ideas and suggestions and is reasonably priced. She is a very personable and extremely hardworkng person. She also is reliable and shows up when she says she will. We were very happy with the outcome of our landscaping project! Please see pictures."

"Excellent! The Team (3-4 Men) was diligent, efficient, polite and hard-working. They left the site immaculate. Their work has already received compliments from neighbors and others. The Supervisor visited the site to evaluate the work done; he, too, was very professional. I hope to work with Jorge's Landscaping again."

"My hunting land needed stumps, trees and brush removed and a trail system created. Evan came out and walked the 90 acres with me. I explained what my ideas were for improving the hunting on the property. He did make some recommendations for the land and repairs to the pond. He had improvements on other properties, which worked well his customers. I gave him my budget and he believed he would be in budget. Some issues come up on my side and they were very willing to work me get it done. My hunting party and I are very happy with the work done. My 76 yr old father in law and friend that had a stroke can easily navigate for hunting. They worked long days due to a rain delay. This was to stay on the work schedule for the next customer. I would HIGHLY recommend Evan and Josh for rotary head and high hoe work. My neighbors and I have another project we are planning for the next year. I wanted to load photos of the work done, but the app will not let me."

"Gabe did an incredible job putting in a french drain on the side of our house and regrading most of our yard. We have hsd water coming into our basement through our basement window wells. Upon inspection Gus told us a regrade and French drain would fix this issue. He planted new grass and routed all the gutter pipes to the drainfield. A job very well done. Gabe is a hard working, responsivle young man and we would recommend his company to anyone."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

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 landscape edging tool depends on you and your needs. For homeowners who are looking for a budget-friendly edging material, plastic might be the best option for them. However, homeowners who want a low-maintenance option might opt for concrete or brick. Since there are loads of gardening edging ideas, decide what factors (maintenance, style, or budget) are most important to you to help you narrow your choices.

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.
