"We just moved into our new home in Sacramento and as you know these new build houses are bare bones when it comes to landscaping! Yasmine came out to do our estimate and ultimately we chose her and Forever Green as our landscaper. I am so impressed with her professionalism and vast knowledge on landscaping options! She guided us the entire process and was prompt with her communication! I’m so happy with my new backyard!!"

"Kevin has done a phenomenal job on a number of occasions like completely doing the hardscape for my front yard including a rock river and some plants. He also created a nice walkway and found someone to do a wrought iron gate. He also created a flagstone and pebble walkway in the backyard. He also put in a cement slab and put in a storage shed. He has done everything really well with respect for the property and the environment. He has integrity."
"California Exteriors was selected after attending the Napa Home & Garden Show. The salesman (Mark) was very knowledgeable and professional. When given a high estimate, we scaled back the job. We were given a work start date (for about 3 weeks later) and called two days later to start work the following day. This rushed our own preparation for moving pots and plants away from the work areas. There must have been 10 workers on this job. At the end of the first day, all preparation was ready for concrete to be poured the following morning. We felt there was not enough gravel and rebarb within several of the forms and this was corrected the following day prior to all concrete being poured. Again, there were 10 workers working around our yard when the concrete was poured. When they were just about finished, we realized they had not used the concrete stamp we had selected for our main patio and walk way (this was our biggest disappointment) and the stamp used for our green areas was pressed too hard so there are some lines and dimples rather than semi smooth texture. Also the main step into the house was not banded as had been promised. Our fee was adjusted down due to the wrong stamp being applied, step not banded and to cover replacement of two patio cover post wraps that were scraped by the tractor removing dirt and concrete. Although we did have a few issues, we would probably use this company again as we do really love our new concrete patio and walkways and are happy with the stamped pattern we received rather than the one we selected. It has fewer grooves and is easier to clean. The next time we do concrete work though, we will make sure the top of the concrete is not two inches or so above ground level. Too much work rebuilding the ground level.
"I should have called Fenix years ago. I am not sure how to fully convey how completely thrilled I am with the entire process and the final outcome of Fenix' services. A very professional crew arrived on time (in fact, they moved us up a few days!) and began a well choreographed process of clearing the awful rock and roots and uneven ground. I think they had 4 wheelbarrows going in a steady stream. There was a sprinkler pipe issued and they solved that issue...they have seen every problem that can occur. They began at 7 a.m. and by 4 p.m. we had a gorgeous outcome. They sculpted/laid out the turf exactly how we wanted it (and suggested a better idea!). I can't believe how beautiful my "grass" looks and how amazing my yard looks. All of the crew were so nice with great attitudes and excellent craftsmanship. The foreman is there all day with the crew which is important...no coming and going. Truly, I am amazed and delighted with zero "buyer's remorse" speaking of which, I was pleasantly surprised by the very very reasonable cost for such an excellent job. Call them...you will not be sorry. Excellence shines in this company."
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.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.
Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.
It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
