"Brad is a horticulturist and was extremely helpful as we decided what plants and trees to use that were drought resistant and inviting to butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Brad’s son, Dan, and worker Danny, were professional, efficient, and friendly. We had some changes and additions we decided to make as we watched the wonderful job they were doing, and they were most accommodating and provided some excellent suggestions. I would definitely use them again."

"We had a sprinkler leakage problem that Saul and his team solved during his visit. They came on time, did a thorough walkthrough of the property pointing issues and solutions. After a couple of days after their visit, I can say the problem is solved. I will definitely recommend Sola de Vega Landscaping for their professionalism and honesty doing their job."

"Brian and his crew were hardworking and knowledgeable. They listened to what we needed and provided it with friendly efficiency. We needed to tweak a couple of things, but there was no problem, and we are thrilled with the final results. We now have beautiful stable flagstones and a lush new lawn with a path. Brian followed up by coming by later to check on the new sprinkler system, and made the necessary adjustments. I would definitely recommend him, and have already done so."

"Ivan was a great person to deal with. He listened to us and added his own expertise for our yard needs. Part of his job was to trim our trees. We?ve had other people come and slash and chop our trees. Ivan showed care and knowledge for our trees and for our whole yard."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

First, dig a hole that’s the same depth as the root ball and wide enough for the roots to spread out fully. Before placing the tree in the hole, pour water in to help get rid of any air pockets in the soil.

When filling the hole back in, opt for a 1:1 ratio of organic compost with the soil left over from the ground. Do not use potting soil, fertilizer, or chemicals of any kind, as these can stress out and kill your newly planted tree.

Yes, a cubic yard of dirt will fit in most standard-size pickup trucks. However, consider the truck’s payload as well as the truck bed dimensions before loading it up with dirt. Soil can be quite heavy, and if the total weight of a yard of dirt exceeds your truck’s payload capacity, you risk damaging the chassis and suspension.

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.

When it comes to which stone is better, crushed or natural gravel, it all depends on the project. Crushed stone is a great base and filler material for projects like retention walls, concrete slabs, driveways, pipes, and drains. Gravel is a common choice for visually attractive landscaping projects like walkways, above-ground drainage systems, patios, and garden borders.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.
