"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."

"I had landscape lighting in my backyard where the wires were cut accidentally. Carlos came out from Artistic Illumination and quickly fixed the problem, but he went over to each light, inspected the connections and replaced the ones that were initially installed cheaply. He was very thorough. I was impressed with the service."

"Although I was meeting with several potential landscapers, I knew I would hire Steve from the beginning. He was just as enthusiastic about my project as I was. I was struggling over an exact plan and he came in with expertise, knowledge, experience and confidence. I received a beautiful, professional visual and detailed written proposal for my landscape committee. After it was approved, everything went exactly the way Steve said it would. There were no problems or issues. He and his crew were on time and efficient. When they were done, I had a beautiful addition to my yard and they left behind a clean work site. It was unbelievable, really. I was and still am very pleased."

"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"

Customers say: True professional

"As our project nears completion, I wanted to express how impressed we have been with the quality of service through Del Mar Landscape. After 30 years, we completely reconfigured our front yard with a low maintenance/ water usage design. New lighting, porch tiles, and walkways were incorporated. Our backyard has new lighting, a fire pit, new pergolas, and a new walkway. The transformation has been amazing, and we continually receive compliments from our neighbors. This success is due to the dedication and talent from Doug and his team. No matter how busy Doug may be, he continually contacts us by phone or with in-person visits to review the project and to provide updates. Any call to him is immediately answered. Doug is very relaxed and supportive in addressing changes/requests identified as the project moves forward. Most importantly, he has an excellent team of workers doing the job. They arrive early each day and diligently work to advance each stage of the project. They are highly personable and communicative as they work throughout each day. They ask for input to assure they are meeting our needs and will suggest ways to address design changes. In addition, they assure the area is clean and accessible before leaving for the day. As a result, I would highly recommend Del Mar Landscape for any future landscaping needs."

"Emily and her team did a fantastic job creating a modern paver patio and turf landscape for our backyard. We started with nothing and had to put in drainage as well. Her team worked quick and efficiently. Emily is super responsive to all your questions and very professional!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

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.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

It is for the purpose of protecting them from hail because you’ll be removing it soon after the threat is over. However, plastic or vinyl tarps aren’t recommended as a long-term way of protecting your plants from frost because they’ll trap too much moisture inside, which is actually not a good thing for your plants. But in the short term, it’s fine to use even an overturned garbage can to protect a plant from hail.
