"This was a complete landscape redo for our residence. The project included fencing and painting, repair redwood deck and paint, install pavers and fire pit, remove grass and install synthetic turf, large tree removal, hedge removal, destruction and removal of sidewalk and replacement with pavers, replacement of lawn with decorative rock and succulents/cactus, complete irrigation overhaul and installation of drip system, install landscape lighting. Luis is a stickler for detail and made sure the job was done right. He is great to work with and his crew are professional and courteous."

"We are very happy with our new lights, and with the service we received from Carlos. He made suggestions regarding placement, and we are very pleased with the results. When he was finished, everything was cleaned up, and looking really nice. He finished in under the estimated time as well. Would definitely recommend to a friend!"

"Our project included landscaping, as well as concrete work, and it was a huge job. Owner Kris had a tall order to communicate with his skilled workers every step of the way and he was able to inform them of all that needed to be done and when to do it. On many days Quetzal was on site at 6:30 a.m., not leaving from here for nearly 12 more hours”even though we were all suffering through a month-long heat spell. Our yard and new driveway look terrific!"

"Tropical Landscape's Filemon responded promptly to our request, came to access the stairs and fencing that needed repair, and presented the estimate in a timely manner. The project was completed to our satisfaction with only a slight increase in time spent and estimate. We are very pleased with the experience and would recommend Filemon to our neighbors."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.
