James Petrillo, owner of IPM Landscapes, is an experienced environmentalist who opened a company to fill a gap for property owners who enjoy eye appealing landscapes but struggle to find services that produce a product with low ecological impact. During his tenure with PGA TOUR Agronomy, James developed his IPM approach. In the golf industry, there are many challenges to maintain a championship quality product. His time with the PGA gave James great access to and hands-on experience with, creating and preserving low-cost, environmentally sensitive areas registered with the National Audubon Society. In order to maintain Audubon status, these areas must be low-maintenance, esthetically pleasing and provide natural food and shelter for native wildlife. IPM is an acronym for Integrated Pest Management, an approach to dealing with the various pests of crops, landscapes, and structures, which incorporates multiple concepts from the disciplines of systems science, and ecology.
"Beware of this company, the work was average but the pricing was ridiculous and not communicated before doing the job, they just show up and send you a bill."

$200 minimum invoice. Please be respectful when inquiring. I am a locally owned and operated company. I have been doing this longer then some people have been alive, and am dedicated to the satisfaction of my clients.
"Absolutely horrible services we were ripped off and lied too! He seemed very nice when we spoke on the phone but the work this men does is so bad. We paid him $150 for spring clean up (normal average for most Landscapping businesses) and he told us what’s included in the price yet all he did was cut the grass which by the way was left so long we wanted it to be much shorter and he trimmed few plants and the rest were left the way they were leafs everywhere, small branches everywhere, weeds everywhere just a total disappointment if you’re going to promise somthing keep your word and do your work. Very unprofessional business!!!"

"This past fall we had the front and side landscaping of our house completely redone by White Oak, and we are extremely happy with the result! After speaking with several landscaping companies the decision to move forward with White Oak was very easy. They got back to us very quickly and came to the house to discuss the project in detail. Both Shannon and Matt were very responsive with inquiries, including stone and plant selections based on our preferences. They also put together a render and discussed all details before kicking off the project. As part of the project they had to relocate some sprinkler heads, something that other companies would not do. Hats off to Shannon, Matt and the rest of their team - they are punctual, friendly, and hardworking. I highly recommend them and will certainly reach out to them for future projects!"

Buying rocks in bulk is more cost-effective than purchasing them in bags. Bulk orders reduce the cost per unit because suppliers charge less when materials are acquired in large quantities. Procuring rocks by the pallet or truckload cuts packaging and handling fees, significantly lowering your overall landscaping project expenses while ensuring consistent quality.
Landscaping with rocks and stones offers clear benefits as well as some drawbacks. The advantages include a maintenance-free landscape that requires no watering or trimming, abundant shapes, sizes, and colors, and a durable material that resists decay and pest damage. However, the disadvantages involve higher upfront installation costs, challenges ensuring even placement, and increased heat retention in surrounding areas. A professional rock installation addresses these issues to create a balanced, attractive outdoor space.
The least expensive rock options for landscaping are crushed gravel, decomposed granite, and pea gravel. These choices deliver exceptional value through low material costs and simple installation, providing an affordable solution for outdoor projects. They help maintain a professional look while controlling your budget by reducing upfront expenses without compromising durability or visual appeal.
Preparing your yard for river rock installation is essential for achieving a flawless, long-lasting finish. Begin by clearing the area of weeds, debris, and large boulders, then install a durable landscape fabric to prevent the stones from sinking. Adding a layer of sand enhances even coverage and promotes proper drainage. These steps ensure that your installation remains secure and visually appealing.
