"Cristian, his father and their team did a tremendous job building steps down our very steep slope to our deck. The steps are beautiful and amazingly the job was finished in 1 day!!!! They built a small retaining wall and sourced the exact stones i wanted. I’m excited to continue working with Alvarado Landscaping to complete my garden that will include building a path, planting and putting in irrigation. Alvarado Landscaping is a joy to work with. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and neighbors. They are professional, creative, really nice, hard working, reasonably priced and very efficient. Oh and they show up on time or early. I HIGHLY recommend Alvarado Landscaping. I am extremely happy with their work. Amazing!!!"

"Jose was very professional and I enjoyed doing business with his team! I’m just out of college and Jose was able to work out a plan in my price range So it was affordable for me and I wouldn’t have to deal with another muddy season where everything floods. I will be going back to SAC landscapes for future work in my yard and home."

"HD Landscaping did an amazing job on our front and backyard project. What started as new sprinklers and sod evolved into a beautifully executed hardscape transformation. Mr. Hoang was incredibly flexible and patient with our last-minute changes. Mid-project, we decided to extend our planter boxes and add lighting for a warmer, more welcoming feel. Even when we changed the planter box height and requested a different type of sod after the initial batch was delivered, Mr. Hoang remained calm and professional throughout. Their top-tier craftsmanship really shined on the planter boxes—their attention to detail on the complex curve was fantastic. HD Landscaping completely transformed our home. I cannot recommend Mr. Hoang and his team enough!"

"5 stars Daniel was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable about sprinkler systems. He responded within 24 hours of my quote request and not only solved the original issue but also repaired a nearby sprinkler head at no extra charge. I highly recommend Soto Garden Tree Landscaping for any sprinkler troubles!"

"Excellent work laying out a residential landscape using pine bark with river stone walkways lined by larger rocks creating decorative paths for low maintenance, water conserving and weed free garden access. Also pleased with light carpentry to repair fence gates, reinforce some wobbly fence posts, and also hauling away fallen branches and leaves. Always show up on time, review what is to be done and a walk-through afterwards to be sure I'm satisfied with everything. A polite and professional team. Have employed them several times this year, on the recommendation of a friend."

"I hired him to do a large yard (about 1/3 acre) cleanup and removal of all debris, some trimming of bushes. Great work, started early, finished early, professional, and thorough. Will hire him in the future for other projects. Able to do more than yard work."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.

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.
