"Silverio came out and helped design a landscape for several plants I had and installed a drip irrigation system at a very reasonable price. He even searched for a specific plant and color off season at several places in the county! I have hired him and his crew to do ongoing maintenance. They are professional, reliable, and reasonably priced, and I have recommended them to several of my friends. I often have requests for specific yard maintenance or upgrades and they are able to accomodate them without an issue. I am glad I have their help working on my yard!"

"I have found Rodriguez Landscape Service to be reliable and knowledgeable with excellent customer service. Gardeners have conscientiously worked at turning a somewhat overgrown yard into a neat, tidy, enjoyable garden again. The irrigation crew kept working on a faulty system until it finally seems to be working efficiently and effectively. In addition Raul and his crew are helpful, friendly and listen attentively when I share garden needs. I am very pleased and will continue to have Rodriguez Landscape Service maintain my yard monthly."

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"Maplewood Landscaping did a commercial landscape install at our daycare facility and we were very happy with the results. Their pricing was honest, and Cesar, the project manager, kept great communication throughout the entire process. The work was completed professionally and on time. We look forward to working with them again on future projects."

"I had an amazing experience with Nextera Landscape Solutions. I spoke to Noe and requested a quote and received a quote within minutes. I asked how quickly they could start and a worker was able to come out within hours. My sprinkler system was a mess and multiple sprinkler heads were broken and many parts of my lawn wasn’t being watered at all. As a result, much of my lawn had died. Miguel assessed my entire system and found remedies to ensure my entire lawn was watered. I’m getting ready to seed the lawn, so I am over the moon happy with the work Miguel did and Noe was extremely easy to work with as well. I would definitely work with them again."

"Cruz is XLT. Brought his crew, trucks a hauling trailer to take care of our much needed yard clean up on short notice and did a very thorough job. Came back next day and did gutters. Cruz will be doing our regular yard care and we could not be happier. I have used many other landscaping services over the years and GreenEarth Landscaping stands out as the best of them. Very pleased. Note, he goes by his last name, Cruz."

"The work was not to be performed in the area where the contractors serviced. They should not be charged for the referral as the work was 200 miles from my home. The work was near Redding not Pebble Beach. I did not make any request for work in PB"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

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 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.

Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.
