"This was a small landscaping job for placing ribbon/ synthetic grass between concrete that was already poured. The team was fast, friendly professional, and gave a great price. They did an amazing job! I highly recommend for any of your landscaping needs."

"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. They are truly experts in their field, and we are grateful for their outstanding workmanship."

"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

If you don’t like the way your empty drainage ditch looks, reach out to a local landscaping professional to discuss your options. They may be able to liven it up with plants, stones, bushes, or other decorative elements. You can also add your own landscaping, but you should first make sure that it won’t block your ditch or prevent it from operating effectively.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

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.

There are some instances when you can use extra drywall in your garden. Ideally, unused scraps of new drywall are best for amending soil without the concern of additional chemicals or mold. However, drywall with paint, mold, or potential asbestos requires specialized disposal by a professional and should be kept out of your garden.
