"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."

"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."

"Tropical Landscape's Filemon responded promptly to our request, came to access the stairs and fencing that needed repair, and presented the estimate in a timely manner. The project was completed to our satisfaction with only a slight increase in time spent and estimate. We are very pleased with the experience and would recommend Filemon to our neighbors."

"Our back yard came out beautifully! We enjoy it every day and it fits our needs perfectly Emily was terrific to work with and helped design a beautiful backyard with us. The workmanship and quality shows. Lots attention to detail and a highly finished look. We had SD premier outdoor replace our driveway and walkway with pavers last year. It was good experience and the final product is so nicely done we contacted her this year for the back yard. We are glad we found SD Premier and love the entire landscape they created."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best place to plant a rose bush is where it will be happiest. Growing roses is difficult if the location varies much from what the plants like. Choose a location that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight during the growing season but not much more than that in hot-climate locations. If such a spot doesn't exist in your yard, consider planting your rose in a movable container to take advantage of portability.

The primary disadvantages of xeriscaping are the high upfront cost and the significant labor required to establish it. A xeriscaping project can cost between $3,000 and $24,000 on average. Additionally, the resulting landscape will have less of a traditional green appearance, which may not appeal to everyone's personal taste and could potentially narrow your pool of buyers if you decide to sell your home. However, despite these initial drawbacks, the long-term benefits include saving water, time, and money on lawn maintenance.

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

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
