"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."

"From the top we want to say how thrilled we are with our landscape project. This was a complex and lengthy project, mostly due to the enormous amount of rain we had this past season. Our entire yard was completely renovated â front, back and both sides. It included taking out a side hill along the house and grading a hill in our front yard to accomplish a complex paver design layout. Dougâ s crew did everything from building walls, pavers, stone caps, stacked stone pillars & siding, 2 water features, firepit, plants, irrigation, drains, artificial turf, etc. We love our new outdoor living space and so does our neighbors â who regularly comment as they pass by on walks. Doug was professional, reasonable and very timely with his responsiveness. He stayed in touch throughout the project â his crew was extremely capable and courteous. Multiple neighbors commented on how nice the crew was. The onsite project leader was very experienced and had a firm grasp on all parts of the project. He was knowledgeable and clearly wanted to make us happy and he accomplished that. As with any major construction project there will always be some frustrations, whether it is with the weather not cooperating or with discovery of needed changes during the demo and construction process. These issues were dealt with professionally â and in the end, Doug never forgot who the customer was. We utilized a designer for our process (which Doug recommended). Del Mar Landscaping crew was able to execute the vision of the design even as changes and challenges came up. We are very pleased with the hard work and are very satisfied customers!"

We did some price shopping and found that her pricing was competitive and we love the design that she came up with. We have received a number of compliments from even strangers passing by our house on our new turf."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
