"I created a problem with my sprinkler system. I'd put it off long enough. Saw Rainbow's ratings on yelp and Angi and reached out to them. Fernando was quick to answer the call and most importantly was available the same day. He estimated his arrival time and was early in a good way. He was friendly and assessed the situation by asking good questions and it didn't take long for him to figure out what was going on. He estimated the project and we felt it was a fair price. Everything is working and we're happy. We hired him again to inspect our other sprinklers and he addressed the faulty ones and installed updated digital WiFi timers. He’s thorough, efficient and patient. I highly recommend Rainbow Landscaping."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work performed by Vega Landscape on my recent hardscape and landscape project. From the initial consultation with the owner, Nick Vega, to the final reveal, the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding.  Nick's design consultation was incredibly insightful as he took the time to listen to my vision and offered creative and innovative solutions that exceeded my expectations. From beautifully poured concrete, smooth stucco walls, IPE wood fencing, artificial turf installation and modern pavers, the execution was flawless with impeccable craftsmanship. And let's not forget the plants! The plants Nick chose were everything I wanted and more, especially because I love seeing birds, bees and butterflies in my front and back yard. The final result has completely transformed my outdoor space. It is now a stunning and functional extension of my home, perfect for hanging out and enjoying the outdoors. The project significantly increased the curb appeal of my home and created a more private and relaxing outdoor living space. I am incredibly grateful to Vega Landscape for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to creating such a beautiful and enduring space. I highly recommend Vega Landscape to anyone considering a hardscape or landscape project. They are truly the best in the business. I particularly appreciated Nick's consistent involvement throughout the entire project, from the initial design to the final completion."

"John Anguiano was able to start the project quickly, was competitively priced, and they did a fantastic job. His crew worked very hard tearing out the old concrete, installing sod, and installing a new concrete walkway. John checked the project site daily. Greatly appreciated."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The most important thing to put under a rock garden is the appropriate soil. The specific soil needed will depend on the type of plants you’re growing as well as the environment you live in. You can also put non-woven or woven fabric under the rocks to add to the garden's structural stability.

The best landscape edging tool depends on you and your needs. For homeowners who are looking for a budget-friendly edging material, plastic might be the best option for them. However, homeowners who want a low-maintenance option might opt for concrete or brick. Since there are loads of gardening edging ideas, decide what factors (maintenance, style, or budget) are most important to you to help you narrow your choices.

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.

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.

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.
