"These guys were great! We moved into a house and needed help understanding why our landscaping quickly started dying. Landscaping Bay Area carefully diagnosed and quickly fixed the issues, thoughtfully taught us about our system, and added lines to automate our yard care. Would absolutely recommend and use them again!"

"Welcome Home Landscape did a fantastic job on our yard. Ken and Emily are a talented team and their hard work and creative ideas made such a wonderful improvement in both our front and back yards. We were so pleased, we have hired them to also do routine maintenance. I would highly recommend them for any landscape needs."

"They installed sod and cleaned up the rest of the yard in a day and a half. It looks really nice but they did break a sprinkler (and threw the sprinkler head into a pile of trimmings as if we wouldn't notice it was missing and the sprinklers no longer work) and installed sod on top of another sprinkler so we had to dig that one out. They also only haul away one truck load of trimmings (~$80) and you have to take the rest to the dump yourself or pay $300+ for them to take a large truck load. Regardless, I am happy with the quality of the work and the very quick turnaround for a nice yard."

"Gomer Basave brought a team of three to four men to construct a 180 foot trench for proper drainage from the landscaped garden to the back of the property. It took six days to build the trench as well as lay the pipes and test the water flow. Throughout the construction, the team worked hard to create the trench and the work was supervised by visits from Basave to the site. Starting with the estimate and proceeding with the work, Gomer Basave was an approachable, responsible and honest contractor who worked with his team to complete the project. The job was not an easy job but Gomer and his crew worked continuously to create a trench that could transport water away from the house. We greatly appreciated working with Gomer and his crew and hope we have the chance to work with them again on other projects."

"Acer Landscaping & Tree Service were a pleasure to work with. They provided a fair and reasonable quote for removing several trees and their stumps in my backyard. Since the owner was in my local area, he was able to visit the site and provide a quote on the same day I called. The owner and his crew were onsite early and worked efficiently and professionally while maintaining social distancing and/or wearing of face masks. I'm very pleased with their services and will hire them again for future work."

"HD Landscaping did an amazing job on our front and backyard project. What started as new sprinklers and sod evolved into a beautifully executed hardscape transformation. Mr. Hoang was incredibly flexible and patient with our last-minute changes. Mid-project, we decided to extend our planter boxes and add lighting for a warmer, more welcoming feel. Even when we changed the planter box height and requested a different type of sod after the initial batch was delivered, Mr. Hoang remained calm and professional throughout. Their top-tier craftsmanship really shined on the planter boxes—their attention to detail on the complex curve was fantastic. HD Landscaping completely transformed our home. I cannot recommend Mr. Hoang and his team enough!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.
