"The name of the company “welcome home“ really defines what they represent. They make you want to come home and see your beautiful landscape. I could not have been more pleased with my interaction and really feeling a sense of family when talking and planning out my design. They are always attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I can’t wait to work with them on more projects. You can’t go wrong when you engage them."

"Gomer Basave brought a team of three to four men to construct a 180 foot trench for proper drainage from the landscaped garden to the back of the property. It took six days to build the trench as well as lay the pipes and test the water flow. Throughout the construction, the team worked hard to create the trench and the work was supervised by visits from Basave to the site. Starting with the estimate and proceeding with the work, Gomer Basave was an approachable, responsible and honest contractor who worked with his team to complete the project. The job was not an easy job but Gomer and his crew worked continuously to create a trench that could transport water away from the house. We greatly appreciated working with Gomer and his crew and hope we have the chance to work with them again on other projects."

"Eli and his Acer Landscaping staff were beyond excellent, perfectly executing their top-notch design, which mirrored exactly what we envisioned for our backyard space: a family oasis. We love to entertain, play basketball, and relax and lounge outside. This is now our forever home/backyard, and it's all thanks to Acer. They stayed on budget and completed the project before the anticipated due date. In a heartbeat, we'd recommend Acer Landscaping to anyone looking to hire the perfect partner!"

"Eduardo, Bay Breeze Landscaping, and his team transformed my front yard from a patch of dirt to a lush lawn in just a few hours. I’ve lived in this SF house for 15 years and the lawn only looks nice (and certainly not this nice) during rainy season. Bay Breeze helped me determine the design plan, provided a trusted, reasonable quote to hire/manage/customize the plumbing required to install a sprinkler system, and in just a few hours dig up the current yard, add gopher barriers, install a hardwired automatic sprinkler system, and lay gorgeous high-end sod. I’m beyond happy and would recommend Bay Breeze Landscaping to anyone."

"We hired Black Diamond for demo, pavers, artificial turf and landscape - the whole front yard project here in Danville. We were very happy with the results, thanks to Michael Martinez and his team! We were impressed that the project proceeded on time and budget. You might find cheaper folks, but none with the experience, professionalism, and company resources like Black Diamond."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

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.

Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. Plan your backyard gardening season, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.

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.

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.
