"They completed landscaping my front yard. They are quick and efficient. Great communication and good price. I will be hiring again to do other projects around my home. Put in a concrete path and stamped it. I was unsure of exactly what I wanted to do and assisted with ideas. Put turf in as well. Very happy with the project."

"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."

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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

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.

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.

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.
