"Alvarado Landscaping did an excellent job and are great to work with. Cristian was very responsive and provided multiple revised estimates as I altered the project requirements after seeing the price. They cleaned their work area at the end of every work day so we were still able to get around our yard when they weren't working. Any deviations from the original estimates were very clearly communicated. They did a great job providing complete transparency. We were very happy with the quality of work and the finished product. I highly recommend Alvarado Landscaping for your landscaping projects."

"I'm a very active Gardener by hobby and have been for 45 years. Because of the drought, I had to shut off the water to our front lawn and big hillside in May of 2022. As expected, the lawn died and 147 the native shrubs I planted on the hillside in 1993, started dying from old age and also from the loss of water. The front yard is fairly large and the hillside is 140 feet long and 15' t.o 25' high from the public sidewalk. These shrubs became a huge wildfire hazard as were the four very large Hollywood juniper next to the house and two very large Italian cypress next to the driveway. The very large olive tree in the center of our front yard was starting to look terrible because of the loss of water and was an main allergy agent for us. I had all of this removed. Seven trees and 147 shrubs from the hillside. The end result was a moonscape appearance for nearly a year. We hired Sampson Landscaping to landscape, hardscape, install lightning and drip irrigation to this large blank canvas. It's done and looks amazing as all our immediate neighbors and passerbys have told us and keep telling us. We are very, very pleased with the job that Sampson did for us. We removed 7 trees but got 6 new ones to replace them. The estimated timeliness was 3 weeks from start to finish and was started ontime and completed in 2 weeks and 2.5 days. We made several design choice changes that added to to the total cost but the job remained on budget in lieu of those changes. We Stronly recommend Sampson Landscaping."

"I reached out to Geico Builders through referral program. Project Manager Mila was super responsive and came out to give me ideas and quote. Once we agreed to the bid they were able to start work in just a few days. I already had a plan and plant list from a landscape architect so I was able to share those documents with them. I had biggest issue with the goffers all over my front yard, the suggestion that Mila gave me was priceless. The way how they did concrete an the amount of rebars they use I knew at that time this concrete stays here for a very long time! Team worked very quickly and efficient always left the job site clean when they left for the day. Mila was also helpful when we added more elements to the original plan. I got several quotes for this job and Geico Builders beat them all. The quality of the work was great so I feel like I got a great deal. Geico Builders thank you so much for all your hard work. We love our new yard!"

"We hired Green Magic to makeover our yard. I gave Geno a sketch and a "vision" of what we wanted and he made ir come to life! We were extremely pleased with how quickly the team worked, and how the finished project turned out, but most of all, with working with Geno. Green Magic truly transformed our yard into a space we can use and enjoy, just like magic!"

"Jorge and his team did great work. Cost was a little more than I expected although he does guarantee his work which is a big plus. I'm hiring him again on an annual basis to "tune-up" my irrigation system."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want. Some add-on services may include the following:

  • Sourcing and delivery of raw materials

  • Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways

  • Drainage system design

  • Recommendations for specific plants and trees

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.
