"Paul's crew did a very nice job on my backyard landscape. They put concrete curbing around my planters, installed a sprinkler system for my small area of grass, installed weed barrier and applied small gravel everywhere else. They fixed the drainage system that a previous landscaper had put in the yard which pooled water in places during the prior heavy rains, and Paul did not charge me extra for that fix. Paul and his crew were very professional and very responsive to my calls."

"Great job. Clean. Efficient. Courteous. Dug up my whole yard including a 50 year old Yucca tree. Poured a new patio with drainage system. I love it. They also did the kindest thing I ever heard of. My beautiful cat Leilani was hit by a car and these guys actually buried her for me. I couldn’t believe it. Angels! I highly recommend them."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

You can fill the holes weeds leave behind with soil or sand to avoid unsightly spots or tripping hazards. If you remove weeds from a grassy area, fill the hole with soil and grass seed, and water regularly to promote grass growth.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

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.
