"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."

"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!"

"C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service did a fantastic job in my backyard. They worked within my budget. My planting beds were cleaned out, weed barrier installed and new succulents planted. They worked with me on design and planting. They also re-installed stairs to allow access into my canyon lot. Finally they installed a retaining wall to support my mature sycamore tree that is on a slope and also terraced above the tree on the slope. The workmen were efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend this business for your landscaping needs.1"

"What a pleasure to work with a professional. Various conversations about types of sod, decorating, costs and time estimates. Suggested things I would have not thought of, I was going to buy a plant for the corner of the lawn, he said he would pick one up, was perfect. Color and type to do all I wanted. He was on time every morning. Was respectful and friendly with my dogs. I joked with Wes and said that when I came home I walked out front to check the address because the backyard was so BEAUTIFUL. Thank you Wes and Boney's Landscape for an incredible job. You are highly recommended."

"Kyle at Boulder Landscapes was great from beginning to end. When he came to provide the estimate he was full of ideas providing multiple possibilities for plants and trees. He gave us a vision for the project and then executed it perfectly. We were so happy with the work that we extended our project and had he and his crew do more work. Not only was Kyle great but crew was also friendly and professional. They worked hard and efficiently. I couldn’t recommend a company more!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. Plan your backyard gardening season, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

Common features in lakefront landscaping projects include native and water-tolerant plants, stone paths, docks or piers, seating areas, and erosion control solutions to create a harmonious integration with the waterfront setting.

Professional lakefront landscaping addresses environmental factors such as water level fluctuations, erosion control, and native plant suitability. Regular maintenance includes pruning, fertilization, and ensuring drainage systems function well.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.
