"These guys were great! We moved into a house and needed help understanding why our landscaping quickly started dying. Landscaping Bay Area carefully diagnosed and quickly fixed the issues, thoughtfully taught us about our system, and added lines to automate our yard care. Would absolutely recommend and use them again!"

"Eli and his crew did a great job trimming our very large cypress tree. The logistics were difficult. The tree is on a steep hillside, and we have many delicate plants and fruit trees beneath the cypress. Eli made sure there was no damage to any of these other trees and plants. They worked a long hard day and came back the following day to finish cleaning up. The site was left cleaner than it was when they started. Eli is very professional, has a great crew, is insured for the dangerous work they do, and very reasonable. I would definitely hire him again."

"Luis was able to locate my hidden sprinkler valves. Some of which were more than 18” deep. I had many other contractors tell me they couldn’t guarantee finding those valves. After finding those valves I requested he replace them above ground. I appreciated the fact that he worked with all my requests. Before replacing the valves he made sure the sprinklers for that valve were working correctly—very conscientious. He eliminated two valves after we discussed the situation and came to an agreement. He completely cleaned up the yard and put everything back in perfect order. I would definitely have Luis work on your irrigation."

"After having gone through a couple of gardeners who either did the very minimal or ones that just didn't show up I was hopeful after reading the reviews here. I scheduled a visit and waited that morning wondering which it would be. I received a text shortly before the scheduled time indicating that he was going to need to reschedule to a few hours later. A text! Jackpot! This guy actually uses technology! So of course, a couple hours was perfectly fine. He arrived, we went through my expectations; explaining that we had a dog and he knew right off about the foxtails and said that he would take them off site and would clear everything out. We scheduled for the next week and while they arrived a bit late (<30m), again, he sent me a text telling me he was running a little behind. They got to work and started plowing through the roughage. He and his team were 'all up in those weeds'. I was seriously impressed as they were pulling out the foxtails on the incline and properly corralling them onto a cloth for disposal. His team put in some hard work clearing this area out. Afterwards, they redistributed the existing mulch and I could not be happier with the quality of work he and his team performed. I've already got him scheduled for regular lawn maintenance monthly."

Mulch and Topsoil questions, answered by experts

The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common causes of basement flooding, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.

A light layer of mulch can help protect a tree, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.

Yes, you can put soil on top of existing grass to level small areas. This is helpful for filling in small divots or leveling out minor dips in your yard that collect rainwater. However, this isn’t a good option if you need to regrade your entire lawn. It’s better to have a professional excavate some of the dirt first so that the level of the lawn doesn’t rise too high.

Ensure clear delivery pathways, remove obstacles, and prepare to cover surfaces to protect landscaping areas. Coordinating with the provider for an estimated arrival prepares punctuality.

Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.
