"Received an estimate for work to be done and scheduled work for the next day. Dillon and co-worker were actually available to start the project earlier in the day, than originally scheduled. Work was completed timely and to my satisfaction! I would hire Perfected landscaping again."

"This was only my second experience with Angie’s list. I was looking for a landscaper and I found it quite surprising. How many popped up. The first one that responded was Daniel‘s landscaping out of Racine Wisconsin. Explain my needs on the phone then Daniel was out here the next day, giving me a quote, I needed new plants which I had already bought an old plant taken out plus about 2 1/2 tons of stone. He listened to my needs very carefully. He believes in direct communication with the customer at all times during the job. All of my concerns were addressed and covered my garden ended up exactly the way I wanted them everything now looks so clean and neat and beautiful. He believes that the Customer comes first and always will. He’s extremely honest with very good business ethics he has high professional standards. I strongly suggest that when you have landscaping needs, even cutting and mowing you give him a call. You can trust him and don’t hesitate. You will not be disappointed."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.
