"They completed landscaping my front yard. They are quick and efficient. Great communication and good price. I will be hiring again to do other projects around my home. Put in a concrete path and stamped it. I was unsure of exactly what I wanted to do and assisted with ideas. Put turf in as well. Very happy with the project."

"Cristian, his father and their team did a tremendous job building steps down our very steep slope to our deck. The steps are beautiful and amazingly the job was finished in 1 day!!!! They built a small retaining wall and sourced the exact stones i wanted. I’m excited to continue working with Alvarado Landscaping to complete my garden that will include building a path, planting and putting in irrigation. Alvarado Landscaping is a joy to work with. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and neighbors. They are professional, creative, really nice, hard working, reasonably priced and very efficient. Oh and they show up on time or early. I HIGHLY recommend Alvarado Landscaping. I am extremely happy with their work. Amazing!!!"

"Javier arrived promptly. My husband showed him the problem with our backyard low voltage landscape lighting. Javier conducted an inspection, and found that the electrical outlet that the lights were plugged into was no longer functional. He plugged the cord into another outlet, and everything now functions just fine! Thank you Javier and M&J Prime Builders!"

"We needed to replace a 25-foot section of fence in the back yard and rain was in the forecast. Eusebio (Nacho) Santana and his son came out immediately to provide an estimate and returned the next day, Sunday, to install the fencing. Nacho also installed 2 new water sprinkler timer units for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Santana Landscaping and would definitely use them again."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

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.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

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.
