"Fernando is the owner and landscape professional. We asked him for a quote to remove and trim many trees and shrubs and landscaping our front yard. The Front yard had become overgrown because our gardener did not have the time or wherewithal to maintain it. Fernando gave us an estimate for the job which was quite high, but he told us he would do excellent and complete work and would maintain by coming twice a month the cut the grass and trim the trees and bushes, so we agreed on that basis. He did a good job of removing the unwanted trees and bushes. He went with us to the nursery to buy new plants and did a good job of planting and fertilizer. Afterward, he came only a few times and then stopped coming or answering my calls. In the few times he came, he charged extra for repairing sprinklers and trimming the large trees, complained he was spending too much time, changed the monthly fee to a per visit fee that increased the price about $20/month, and tried to sell me on additional high-cost services like additional tree removal. He was good on the initial job, and I would recommend him for one-time trimming/removal/landscaping, but I cannot recommend his lack of professionalism, failure to maintain the landscape as he promised, and the high prices he charges."

"Mario is a professional in irrigation systems and I learned a lot just from listening to him. He has quite and extensive knowledge about sprinkler systems, water flow rates, etc. What I thought was a leak at one of my sprinkler heads turned out to be much more. There was no leak at that head, however, Mario knew enough to shut off the rest of the heads. Sure enough the lead was back by the patio, coming from one of the old cheap pvc pipes that break and crack easy. If he didn't know how to find and properly repair that leak, I probably would have spent back breaking hours look for it and never finding it. I will be inviting him back in the future to assess the whole yard. I can highly recommend Eco-organic Landscape Services."

"My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Lucas from Oasis Turf and Hardscape, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, Lucas provided exceptional service, demonstrating his thorough knowledge of the various turf styles available to suit our specific needs. Lucas took the time to explain the entire process of installing turf at our home, ensuring that we understood each step and making recommendations based on our preferences. His expertise and attention to detail gave us confidence in our decision to move forward with the project. Communication with Lucas and the team at Oasis Turf and Hardscape was outstanding throughout the entire process. We were impressed by their responsiveness and their ability to address any questions or concerns we had promptly. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. When it came time for the turf installation, we were equally impressed with the crew's professionalism and punctuality. They arrived on time and efficiently transformed our yard into a beautiful oasis. The crew worked diligently, paying close attention to detail to ensure a flawless installation. The results exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with our new turf. Overall, our experience with Oasis Turf and Hardscape, specifically with Lucas and the installation crew, was exceptional. Their knowledge, professionalism, and top-notch communication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend Oasis Turf and Hardscape to anyone in need of turf installation.

"Luis, his brother and their team recommended perfect plants for our situation. They stripped out the 25 year old bushes and grasshoppers in less than a day and cleared a clogged drain to the street. By the end of the second day, an extension to the drain was completed, all new sod was over it, and new plants covered all of the gardens. It was a huge transformation and still looks great a month later."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

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.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.
