"Over the past 11 months, we've interviewed and received numerous quotes on our landscaping needs. For example, some of these "fly by night" vendors didn't show up to the appointment, some didn't clarify job scope or felt more like a salesmen, and one asking for down payment before they start a job. ...sound familiar? EcOrganic Landscaping not only provided a competitive bid, I was thoroughly impressed by their quality of work, on-going transparency, and professionalism. Their contracts are clearly defined, and straightforward...no hidden games and/or any sense of fraud. The company is insured and licensed which brings additional comfort. I know we all have many choices when shopping for landscaping needs, but it was very important for me to focus on quality, honesty, professionalism, and reliability. I truly believe EcOrganic Landscaping has met all 4 of my expectations and am entering a monthly maintenance contract with them as well. If you've already invested 5 minutes to read this review, I would recommend investing a few more minutes in giving them a call and making your own assessment. I worked with a gentlemen named Mario. Respectfully, Sam from OC"

"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

Since you’ll likely be digging a trench to install your yard drainage system, this is a good time to complete other tasks that involve digging up your yard, including: Sprinkler system installation Lawn reseeding Regrading your yard Redesigning your landscaping If your drain is under a walkway or driveway, your contractor must also remove those materials. This is a great time to consider upgrading your hardscaping features, especially if they’re nearing the end of their life span.

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

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.
