"Arturo and his wonderful team have been incredible with our landscaping projects and grounds maintenance. For us they specialized in restoration of native plants and sustainable, organic gardening, which is hard to find! They have also helped with rock and mulch, sprinklers, pergola and tree trimming. They are reliable, reasonably priced, always professional and super courteous. Our neighbors now use them too based on what they've seen with our yard. I highly recommend this team!"

"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!"

"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!"

"This is not a reasonable price for the work that they were requested to do. They wanted to charge me $40.00 for 30 min of yard work per person. So if 2 people worked on the yard the price would be $80.00 for 30 minutes of yard work. They were only suppose to pull the weeds and cut of the dead flowers."

"Look no further! Jeremy is very professional, clean, efficient, and does a great job. I hired him based on reviews and after meeting him in person. I highly recommend his services. The ceiling light he installed was perfectly done. He had instructed me to shop for was needed before he arrived (which saved time and money), for example, a dimmer switch and light bulbs. Everything went so well and I am very pleased."

"Justin landscaped my entire property: front, back, and side yards after my home was destroyed in the CARR fire. He installed pavers in the front driveway and porch area as well as throughout the backyard (patio and walkways) These have LED lights to light up the walkways. He installed a most beautiful large pond with fountain. Put in sprinkler system, fence, and planter boxes. The yard is exactly what I asked for. Beautiful trees, flowers, shrubs, grass, retaining walls. It is my own little piece of paradise. I could not have asked for a better result. He is kind and professional, with a good work ethic. I highly recommend Justin."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

A rock garden can last indefinitely as long as you properly maintain it. Whether solely made of rocks or with greenery incorporated, they generally last a while, though it may vary based on your climate.
