Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 5, 2014
“D&J Landscape Contractors were a pleasure to work with on this project. They are great at communicating with the client and the designer. An artfully set flagstone path passes through a woodland garden. A wheelchair ramp passes through lush plantings in the front entry of this Portland home. There is no lawn, just beauty, texture and fragrance-exactly what the client wanted and needed. Donna Giguere, APLD, Landscape Design”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 27, 2022
“As a homeowner who loves to entertain, I decided it was time to landscape my back yard. Emerald Green Garden landscape did a very professional job with everything. They put in a large deck around my pool with fencing and a large patio, A very elaborate sprinkler system (Outdoor shower, flower beds, mister and drips for my hanging baskets. Large wooden planter boxes and prepping and painting cement walls for a mural, also brought in sod and gave me a brand-new beautiful lawn. They did all this and had to overcome a lot of obstacles. My property is built on a hill with huge retaining walls. This meaning that everything that they bought in had to be maneuvered very carefully, bringing equipment through other yards removing and replacing fencing as my yard is 2 stories below the road. All of the gravel, sand, dirt, sod and cement had to be brought in using large garbage cans because of the narrow walkways and stairs. They always had smiles on their faces and never complained. As you can tell I am very pleased with my new backyard and am looking forward to entertaining this summer. I would highly recommend them for your outdoor project. I plan on using them again this spring to finish up a few more things.”

“After reviewing several quotes and reviews, I chose Forest Landscape. I am really happy now that I did. Their work is fantastic. They were on time and got the job done when they said it would be done (not a day later, not a week later)... The driveway is approximately 2400 square feet worth of concrete, laid and prepared to exact specifications I laid out... The new driveway is the talk of the neighborhood....I highly recommend Forest Landscape and their crew ( I would give you more stars if I could) ... Thanks you guys :)”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 23, 2013
“Robert Kinsey and crew are absolutely top notch when it comes to delivery as promised. Last year, Robert and his crew did a great job modifying a retaining wall in our backyard. They were polite, and on time, each and every day. The project was completed as scheduled and budgeted. As I write this, Robert and his crew are here working the second phase of our backyard project. Most of the guys are the same ones that worked our project last year. Again, the crew arrives on time each day, works very hard, they are polite, and clean up the area at the end of the day. Robert works right along side his crew, and treats them with respect. Robert asks the right questions to understand our vision of our backyard retreat, and he will definitely bring that vision to reality.”

“Fernando and team did a complete overhaul of my 5000 square foot property. They installed a sophisticated drainage system, graded the property, built a multi path paver pathway, 2 patios, lighting, 2 stairways and finished it off with lawn, mulch and nice plants everywhere. They gave a very competitive price and we’re not just racing to get it done. They were detail oriented and put extra effort into perfecting details. They all were very nice people too. I strongly recommend them for hard/land scape work.”

Landscaper FAQs
The duration depends on the lawn size and preparation needs, but most residential projects are completed within 1-2 days. Larger or more complex landscapes requiring significant soil preparation or custom solutions might take longer. Consultation with your installer will provide a more precise timeline based on your specific situation.
Selecting the right type of sod involves considering your local climate, soil type, sun exposure, and water availability. Common types include Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Fescue, each with specific care requirements and benefits. Professional sod installers can provide guidance based on soil testing and local experience, ensuring the sod type matches your environmental conditions and maintenance preferences.
Homeowners should clear the lawn area of debris, furniture, and toys. Marking out sprinkler heads, utility lines, and similar obstacles can prevent damage. Ensuring easy access to the lawn area for large rolls of sod and equipment is also helpful. Discuss with your installer if additional steps like old lawn removal or soil treatment are needed before installation.
Installers use their experience to address challenges such as uneven ground (by leveling and compacting soil), poor soil quality (through amendments or topsoil), shade (selecting shade-tolerant grass types), and drainage issues (installing drainage solutions or grading the lawn). They assess your site-specific challenges during the consultation to plan effective solutions.
Yes, eco-friendly options include selecting drought-tolerant grass types to reduce water usage, opting for organic soil amendments, and choosing local sod farms to decrease transportation emissions. Discussing these preferences with your installer can help identify sustainable practices that align with your environmental values.
After installation, itʼs crucial to follow the watering schedule recommended by your installer, generally involving deep watering to encourage deep root growth. Avoid walking on new sod until itʼs firmly rooted, and begin mowing when it reaches recommended height. A maintenance plan including fertilization, aeration, and overseeding as needed will help your lawn thrive long-term. Consult your sod installer for a personalized care plan.
