"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.

"Eliu and his brother Victor have done a few projects for us now and also our neighbor. It's nice to find a landscaper who cares, are professional, and also do a great job! Our yard looks great, we get complements all the time. Victor did an amazing job on the design in our pavers and the pergola. They work well with budgets and are very reliable and easy. to work with. I would recommend to anyone."

"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

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you’ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it’s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.

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.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.
