Joe and Tony Landscaping LLC is entering it’s 45th year, as a maintenance and design/build company providing the Northshore with professional, experienced, award winning landscape services. Our continued commitment to employee training and product knowledge assures you the highest industry standards and product installation techniques are being utilized on your landscape project. Take advantage of our landscape design and installation experience to give your home the look that complements you and your lifestyle.
"I hired Joe and Tony Landscaping over 10 years ago to design my front yard landscape. I told Dan (college educated in landscape design) that I wanted my yard to have 4 season interest. I also mentioned that I wanted low maintenance plantings. I was blown away with the finished project. I have trees that bloom and produce berries at different times in spring. Roses blooming in summer. Tall grasses that bloom and turn red in fall. He installed beautiful ground cover and hardscape. My neighbors were inspired to upgrade their own yards. One neighbor mentioned that the landscape design made my house look like a different house. When I hired Dan I met with several other landscape designers. Everyone gave me a similar price quote but Dans design was far and away the best bang for the buck. I contacted Dan in Feb/March of this year. I needed some updates to the yard. Some plantings were getting too large and a few bushes were damaged by ice damns that fell from the roof. He responded immediately. Made suggestions and quoted a price. I also got a second quote from another company. Again, both quotes were very similar. I hired Joe and Tony again for the job. I made my down payment and as soon as the plantings were delivered by the nurseries Dan called and gave me an installation date. I called him several times throughout this project to make a change here or there. He always answered the phone. Was always understanding if we wanted to change something. The men who did the work were polite, pleasant and always cleaned up at the end of the day. I’ve hired Joe and Tony Lanscaping twice and would hire them again. If you have a project give them a call and see what creative ideas they come up with."

Stamped concrete is a decorative technique where concrete is patterned, textured, or embossed to resemble materials like brick, tile, stone, or wood. After pouring the concrete, installers add color and stamp patterns onto the surface before it sets, creating an attractive finish. Basic stamped concrete designs start at $8 per square foot, making them less expensive than pavers, brick, or slate. However, more intricate designs cost up to $28 per square foot. While complex designs are pricier, stamped concrete often provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
A stamped concrete overlay costs between $3 and $5 per square foot, making it an affordable choice to update an existing surface. This overlay option refreshes outdated concrete by adding design elements such as multiple colors and custom patterns. In a 100-square-foot project, the expense is between $300 and $500, and the process enhances appearance with minimal additional work.
Stamped concrete lasts up to 25 years when installed by expert professionals using quality materials. This durability means your surface is engineered to remain attractive and strong throughout its lifespan. Regular resealing every two to five years and prompt repairs ensure the concrete maintains its integrity and visual appeal over its whole lifespan.
Stamped concrete is a cost-effective alternative to laying pavers. This option provides comparable aesthetic appeal at an average rate of $12 per square foot, less than the high expense of brick or slate installations. Homeowners gain a modern and customizable finish while reducing overall installation and maintenance expenses when they choose stamped concrete.
