"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

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.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.
