"After months of trying to find the right landscaper who could meet the needs and support our vision of an entertainerâ s backyard, we found Elâ s Landscape on Yelp. Their stellar reputation is known in Coachella Valley as evident in their reviews. We totally agree with all of the other reviews and recommend them across Riverside County. Their work ethic, attention to detail, team and time management is nothing short of outstanding. - Emmanuel is responsive from the moment you reach out and he listens carefully to his clients. - He creates and develops a professional plan that aligns and optimizes your space. - His contract and phases are clearly laid out, his pricing is fair, totally reasonable and the timeline ideal, not aggressive and communicates with you throughout the process. -Details.Details.Details. They did not leave one stone uncovered... Literally. From the rock choices to cactus type, to the light wattage down to ensuring your turf color matches, Emmanuel was collaborative and educated us on the ideal choicesâ even providing multiple samples to compare and contrast so we captured a look similar to our travels to Mexico. Our pictures speak for themselves and plants were hand-picked by Emmanuel. Take note: Yucca rostrata (atop pool), Giant hesperaloe, Golden barrel cactus, Mexican fence post (lit up), Shark skin agaves, Agave parryi, Red yucca, ocotillos, nopales and 2 Olive trees (corners.) We give Elâ s landscape our highest recommendation and look forward to seeing his work prominently across any high-end boutique hotel to any mid-century modern home. He created the backyard of our dreams so much so every morning we wake up, itâ s as if we are on vacation. Thank you Emmanuel and Team! PS - You can visit our backyard anytime to see for yourself - itâ s magazine worthy (even the neighbors say so!)"

"Hector with Westcape was amazing. We bought a newly constructed home in PS which needed complete landscaping including grass sod, hedges, synthetic grass, pebble rock, decomposed granite, raised vegetable beds, flower beds, shrubs, trees, drainage piping for entire property, 40 tons of dirt to level the property, complete irrigation system, and landscape lighting for the entire property. It was a massive job and he did it quickly, efficiently, beautifully, and at a very reasonable cost. Out of the dozens of contractors we’ve hired he was by far the best to work with, the most accommodating and checked in with us every step of the way to ensure we were happy with each piece of the project. I strongly recommend Hector and Westcape, you won’t be disappointed (as we so often are with contractors). Not only would I hire him again, we are going to hire him again for more work in the future. His reviews on HomeAdvisor were great and now I know why, I was so pleased I felt compelled to tell everyone so they don’t make a mistake and hire someone else."

"Noe from NF Irrigation and Landscape is top notch. He arrived right on time and did an outstanding job of repairing my entire drip system. He also checked and adjusted my lawn sprinklers at no additional charge. Noe is extremely knowledgeable about his trade plus he's friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.
