"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."

"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

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.

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.
