"Adrian got the work done fast and it turned out really well. He was able to clean up my yard that was a mess, haul out soil, haul in new soil, add a weed barrier, and install the sod in a couple days. He was able to work with the existing sprinkler system."

"HA was a GO TO service finding professional contractors when I lived on the east coast. I almost gave up on HA, Google search and finding a professional who can actually provide xeriscape landscaping. I interviewed 5 contractors on HA who advertised "Landscape and Yard Maintenance" in their Company name but only cut lawns. All of 6 said they could do xeriscape work. They walked my property, estimated and said they would give me and estimated within 2 days. I never heard back from 4 them. I left messages and never heard back from them, no return calls. When I met Chris, he was professional from the start to the finish of his contract. Chris and his team of Landscapers walked the talked, and added a personal touch treating their work as if the job was on their own property, something I have not experienced with Bakersfield contractors. I wish Chris would add property yard maintenance to his services. I would recommend Chris' services, a 5 star contractor."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.
