"We want to express our very sincere thanks and appreciation to Unique Landscape. Raul (the owner) is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. Raul made sure he explained everything and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. I never met anyone that went that extra mile for his clients. What really impressed me was that everytime I called or texted him he always replied back in a timely manner. Communication was open and honest. Raul's team was great to work with. Especially, Javier (team leader.) Javier listened to our ideas, offered options and made suggestions. He gave us a time frame for which we could expect the different parts to be completed. The project was completed in a very timely manner. His team was very professional. Part of the project included dealing with drainage problems in the area in which the patio was to be built. We are incredibly pleased with that outcome, too. Javier always had a smile and a positive attitude. Javier always answered my questions and addressed my concerns. Javier and his team were very detailed and meticulous in their craft. I will definitely recommend Unique Landscape. Raul and Javier has earned my trust and respect. Jon and Angela."

"After getting many quotes we decided to have Hector and his crew install turf throughout our back yard. Leading up to and during the job, Hector was always available and super responsive to calls and texts. They did a fantastic job of following our design and made our life a whole lot easier for landscaping the rest of the yard. His crew also did an amazing job of cleaning up afterwards, there was absolutely no dust or trash left behind. I recommend them and will 100% be using them again for future jobs. Thanks guys!"

"After months of trying to find the right landscaper who could meet the needs and support our vision of an entertainerâ s backyard, we found Elâ s Landscape on Yelp. Their stellar reputation is known in Coachella Valley as evident in their reviews. We totally agree with all of the other reviews and recommend them across Riverside County. Their work ethic, attention to detail, team and time management is nothing short of outstanding. - Emmanuel is responsive from the moment you reach out and he listens carefully to his clients. - He creates and develops a professional plan that aligns and optimizes your space. - His contract and phases are clearly laid out, his pricing is fair, totally reasonable and the timeline ideal, not aggressive and communicates with you throughout the process. -Details.Details.Details. They did not leave one stone uncovered... Literally. From the rock choices to cactus type, to the light wattage down to ensuring your turf color matches, Emmanuel was collaborative and educated us on the ideal choicesâ even providing multiple samples to compare and contrast so we captured a look similar to our travels to Mexico. Our pictures speak for themselves and plants were hand-picked by Emmanuel. Take note: Yucca rostrata (atop pool), Giant hesperaloe, Golden barrel cactus, Mexican fence post (lit up), Shark skin agaves, Agave parryi, Red yucca, ocotillos, nopales and 2 Olive trees (corners.) We give Elâ s landscape our highest recommendation and look forward to seeing his work prominently across any high-end boutique hotel to any mid-century modern home. He created the backyard of our dreams so much so every morning we wake up, itâ s as if we are on vacation. Thank you Emmanuel and Team! PS - You can visit our backyard anytime to see for yourself - itâ s magazine worthy (even the neighbors say so!)"

"Absolutely beautiful landscaping work. They were able to guide me when I wasn’t sure about what would look best and gave me exactly what I wanted when I was sure! They did their work in a very timely fashion as promised-and each of the crew could not have been more professional! They were true artist when it came to clean it up my bushes and trees and having everything look great upon their departure. My neighbors actually made a point to come and tell me how nice everything looked. I would definitely use them again and I will!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

In most cases, buying plants from a local greenhouse or nursery is well worth the investment, even though they tend to be a bit more expensive than those at a home improvement store. Employees at nurseries are usually well-versed in gardening and understand how the climate in your area affects different plants. They can help you make selections based on your skill level and time commitment to your landscaping, and they can provide detailed care instructions and advice to help keep your plants alive and diagnose and treat issues like pest infestation and illness.

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.

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.
