"First off Trejos landscaping is a awesome company to do business with. They are super professional and very accommodating. They like to get in and get the job done, they totally revamped my back yard with turf and a flowerbed out of pavers. They were also able to help with getting concrete added to my yard. Now they do my regular maintenance for the front yard."

"Silverio came out and helped design a landscape for several plants I had and installed a drip irrigation system at a very reasonable price. He even searched for a specific plant and color off season at several places in the county! I have hired him and his crew to do ongoing maintenance. They are professional, reliable, and reasonably priced, and I have recommended them to several of my friends. I often have requests for specific yard maintenance or upgrades and they are able to accomodate them without an issue. I am glad I have their help working on my yard!"

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"Cruz is XLT. Brought his crew, trucks a hauling trailer to take care of our much needed yard clean up on short notice and did a very thorough job. Came back next day and did gutters. Cruz will be doing our regular yard care and we could not be happier. I have used many other landscaping services over the years and GreenEarth Landscaping stands out as the best of them. Very pleased. Note, he goes by his last name, Cruz."

"This is not a reasonable price for the work that they were requested to do. They wanted to charge me $40.00 for 30 min of yard work per person. So if 2 people worked on the yard the price would be $80.00 for 30 minutes of yard work. They were only suppose to pull the weeds and cut of the dead flowers."

"Look no further! Jeremy is very professional, clean, efficient, and does a great job. I hired him based on reviews and after meeting him in person. I highly recommend his services. The ceiling light he installed was perfectly done. He had instructed me to shop for was needed before he arrived (which saved time and money), for example, a dimmer switch and light bulbs. Everything went so well and I am very pleased."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you want to take your tree-planting hobby beyond your outdoor space, here are a few great ways to do it:

  • Encourage your neighbors to participate in the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA program, which has a four-step framework that helps communities grow and maintain their own tree cover.

  • Support businesses that plant trees. 

  • Lobby your local government to plant more trees around your community.

  • Donate to a tree-planting charity.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

Landscaping prices are sometimes negotiable, but it depends on the professional with whom you’re working. In most cases, you’ll have a better chance of negotiating prices down the more work you have done. Your pro might be willing to discount labor if they’re guaranteed a large job. You can also ask your landscaper to recommend more affordable materials that will still bring your vision to life to save.
