"Alvarado Landscaping did an excellent job and are great to work with. Cristian was very responsive and provided multiple revised estimates as I altered the project requirements after seeing the price. They cleaned their work area at the end of every work day so we were still able to get around our yard when they weren't working. Any deviations from the original estimates were very clearly communicated. They did a great job providing complete transparency. We were very happy with the quality of work and the finished product. I highly recommend Alvarado Landscaping for your landscaping projects."

"I'm a very active Gardener by hobby and have been for 45 years. Because of the drought, I had to shut off the water to our front lawn and big hillside in May of 2022. As expected, the lawn died and 147 the native shrubs I planted on the hillside in 1993, started dying from old age and also from the loss of water. The front yard is fairly large and the hillside is 140 feet long and 15' t.o 25' high from the public sidewalk. These shrubs became a huge wildfire hazard as were the four very large Hollywood juniper next to the house and two very large Italian cypress next to the driveway. The very large olive tree in the center of our front yard was starting to look terrible because of the loss of water and was an main allergy agent for us. I had all of this removed. Seven trees and 147 shrubs from the hillside. The end result was a moonscape appearance for nearly a year. We hired Sampson Landscaping to landscape, hardscape, install lightning and drip irrigation to this large blank canvas. It's done and looks amazing as all our immediate neighbors and passerbys have told us and keep telling us. We are very, very pleased with the job that Sampson did for us. We removed 7 trees but got 6 new ones to replace them. The estimated timeliness was 3 weeks from start to finish and was started ontime and completed in 2 weeks and 2.5 days. We made several design choice changes that added to to the total cost but the job remained on budget in lieu of those changes. We Stronly recommend Sampson Landscaping."

"Excellent job! The Black Diamond team led by Mike Gurtler of the San Ramon office did a beautiful and professional job on our landscape remodel. From the landscape design work by Kirby to the professional installation by Freddy and Jorge, we could not be more pleased with the finished job. We continue to get compliments from neighbors about how great the yards look. Black Diamond is highly recommended!"

"Number one in communications and top attention in details. We worked with Geico Builders to build our addition, ADU and install pavers on the front of the house. Overall the process took us almost one year they were delays from the city of Oakland on approval plans despite that Victor went above and beyond and smooth all process once they got to actual building. He work hard to make progress easy on our addition especially with tough Inspectors. The quality of our new ADU well-built, and the bathroom has a great tile work with precise attention to details. Their price was not the cheapest one but for the amount of time and quality of work it’s very well deserved, we feel like we got good value for the money we paid. We do recommend Geico Builders and especially Victor to all who is looking for quality work."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.
