I hired him for my front yard improvement which required installing artificial green turf, pavers and a fountain. Totally satisfied with the high quality of work and professionalism from his team. They finished the work in quick time."

"We are very happy that we found Welcome Home Landscaping. Ken and Emily helped us design our new backyard landscaping, suggested some new design ideas we hadn't thought about, were flexible and responsive to our needs, and did great work to complete our beautiful yard. Their subcontractors were also of high quality and did excellent and timely work. We will not hesitate to hire them again the next time we are looking for landscaping and design."

"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!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"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."

"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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

Lakefront landscaping offers benefits such as enhancing aesthetic appeal, increasing property value, supporting ecological balance, and providing recreational opportunities while preserving the shoreline's natural beauty.

Xeriscaping can be more affordable than traditional landscaping, but it depends on your landscape design. However, you will save on water. If you live in an arid climate or a location prone to droughts, xeriscaping is an especially efficient way of reducing your lawn’s water demand without detracting from the beauty of your yard.

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
