Alfredo's Landscaping & Masonry Inc FAQs

Whether or not you hire professional landscape contractors is up to you, but paying meticulous attention to your lawn will provide a multitude of benefits. It’ll give you a great space for your family to enjoy, increase the value of your home, provide oxygen to the environment, and cool down the area around your home, making your air conditioner’s job easier. An established lawn will also have a deep root system that controls erosion, runoff, and the purity of water that is funneled into the groundwater supply. Healthy lawns can trap the dust and impurities that we want to keep out of the home.

There are many benefits of having landscape contractors add mulch to flower beds, including: 

• Helping the soil retain moisture 

• Contributing to soil health as the breakdown of the mulch happens over time 

• Blocking the sunlight to pesky weeds, helping to keep them at bay 

• Repelling insects, depending on the type of mulch used 

• Controlling soil erosion

After landscape contractors add new greenery to your yard, the basics of watering are simple. Water immediately after planting, let the water soak into the soil, and then water again. During the first week, it’s best to continue frequent watering either daily or every other day. Following the first week, you’ll only need to water two to three times per week depending on the weather conditions in your area.

Absolutely! Every living plant does its job to filter carbon dioxide out of the environment. One tree alone can remove 26 pounds of CO2 annually, equaling about 11,000 miles of vehicle emissions, according to the Virginia Cooperative Extension. Plants also help keep debris and pollution out of our water supply. On top of that, trees that cast shade on your home will keep it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, giving your air conditioner and heating units a break. If you’re thinking about planting additional trees, shrubs, or flowers, they will all benefit our environment in their own unique way, so go for it! Call our landscape contractors today. 

Modern landscaping refers to the designing, planning, and construction of gardens and other features that both create useable space for outdoor activities and enhance the appearance of a home. Landscaping includes hardscaping and softscaping, although many people refer to them softscaping and landscaping interchangeably. Hardscaping would be the aspect that includes non-organic materials such as stone and woodwork, retaining walls, decks, firepits, and more. Softscaping would then refer to planting designs, creating burms and grading, and mulching. Whether you need landscaping or hardscaping, give our landscape contractors a call today!

Our landscape contractors accept cash, checks, Venmo, and Zelle for payment.
