"I am very pleased with the back-yard patio Conrad and his crew installed. Cost was very competitive. Timeline for project was very close to original estimate. Conrad was very helpful in helping us make final design decisions, especially on picking the paver block style and color. He also promptly addressed all of me concerns, even though they were mostly minor. His crew also worked with me to get the final outline of the patio, with many curves. Del Mar Landscaping is definitely on the top of my list for any future landscaping work."
"It was actually one of the BEST experience I have had with repairs and upgrades to my home. I am a retired General Contractor, (40 years in the trade), specializing in very high-end custom homes. I know quality, and it seems to be getting harder to find in any trade. I was VERY HAPPY to have been referred to C. Perez Sprinkler & Landscape. I met with 3 different "contractors" and Cipriano was the absolute BEST. There was no language barrier at all. Cipriano and his entire crew were VERY professional and thoughtful. Cipriano showed up EVERY DAY, and if for some reason he couldn't, he would text me. He kept in constant touch with me. That, in and of itself, was very enjoyable. He finished on time and within budget. He even threw in a little stuff. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH of very good compliments about Cipriano, his crew and the quality of work completed. He WILL be coming back for my back yard.!!!!! He does many more projects then what I hired him for, but if you need anything done, ( landscape, lawns, gardens, hardscape, etc. etc. ) I would highly recommend that you look him up and CALL HIM !!! You won't regret it. Vincent.......Calabasas resident for 30 years."
"I interviewed six companies regarding backyard renovation and I am so happy that I chose Yosi and Rainforest L.A. They transformed our backyard into a relaxing oasis. We were astonished at the transformation. Yosi was so easy to work with, very calm, professional, excellent communication, easy to reach.Yosi provided a detailed bid the very same day we met. He answered all of my questions politely. Yosi's team were friendly, professional, creative, hardworking, and they left our yard spotless every day. We have used many contractors over the years and Rainforest L.A. was the best."
"We have used Green Life Landscaping for four years and are completely happy with their work. Jose and his staff are professional, reliable and do a great job. They provide quality service and are quick. Our yard always looks great and they let us know anytime anything needs more attention. I highly recommend this company. The employees are respectable and trustworthy. I feel confident and safe with them working when we are not home."
"We needed major repairs and new sprinklers on an old irrigation line. Russell worked hard and conscientiously to do a thorough job. I was very pleased with his work."
"Diego and the team are top-notch professionals. Diego is excellent at communicating and very accommodating and aware of all of my concerns. I only wish all contractors were as excellent and these guys. And the work itself was too-notch. My wife commented how much better their mulch install was for our entire back yard than the one we had previously. It was thick and well-leveled. Highly recommend."
"They provided excellent service and was very professional and quick. I am so pleased with the outcome. My yard is beautiful. All the neighbors are envious. They came back with a quote that be out all the other landscapers and were very nice to work with. Five stars across the board."
If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.
Several leaf-removal tools are available to make this annual process easier, including a leaf grabber, leaf tarps, leaf blowers, and leak vacuums. Each piece of equipment works differently, but they all achieve the same goal of picking up leaves as quickly and easily as possible.
To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.
Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.
