"Basave landscaping did an incredible job with the Astro turf install in my backyard. The initial consultation was a great experience. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and sourced affordable materials to keep my budget met. His team got it done in one day and worked very ho*** ** all the details. We love hanging out in our backyard now! I would recommend his team to anyone who needs landscaping/turf install services."

"Jose was very professional and I enjoyed doing business with his team! I’m just out of college and Jose was able to work out a plan in my price range So it was affordable for me and I wouldn’t have to deal with another muddy season where everything floods. I will be going back to SAC landscapes for future work in my yard and home."

"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!"

I would definitely recommend them for any big or small project!"

"Our backyard was basically been a dirt pit for the six years that we ve lived in our house. We decided that we wanted to have our broken patio removed and replaced and we knew we wanted grass for our kids to play on during the pandemic. Friends told us to get quotes months in advance because they all had to wait for landscape companies to do the work. I started the process of emailing local Livermore businesses to get quotes on a Monday. Dan called me back within about 20 minutes and set up a time to come by the next morning. We reviewed what we wanted, which was quite outside of the typical homeowner here. We have a mid-century Eichler style house and wanted a patio design that reflected the period with veins of rock separating concrete slabs. Dan seemed slightly skeptical, but after showing him pictures he got onboard and completely embraced the design. He gave us a totally reasonable quote and indicated that he could start work the next day! We were shocked since we thought no one would be able to start for months. We decided to go with Dan s team without getting any other quotes (seems crazy, but we trusted him). His team was perfectly on time every day, worked unbelievably hard and fast and in just under two weeks our backyard is better than we ever dreamed it could be. In addition to the patio and grass, the team dug trenches to send all of our downspouts to the street ( we had no idea that was possible). They created a raised garden bed, removed a tree, planted 3 new trees and several ornamental vines and plants, leveled our side yard and installed a path and installed an entirely new automatic watering and sprinkler system. Although we chose drought tolerant grass, Dan was very clear about the importance of the right watering schedule and lawn care. Right after the project was done, we had a major heatwave and the grass survived with Dan s protocol and is now thriving with 12 min of water a day. Finally, Dan went on vacation and Charli, his supervisor took over and didn t miss a beat. We will be calling them again as soon as we save up for the front yard. I wish I could post pictures!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

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.
