"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."

"Alvarado Landscaping did an excellent job and are great to work with. Cristian was very responsive and provided multiple revised estimates as I altered the project requirements after seeing the price. They cleaned their work area at the end of every work day so we were still able to get around our yard when they weren't working. Any deviations from the original estimates were very clearly communicated. They did a great job providing complete transparency. We were very happy with the quality of work and the finished product. I highly recommend Alvarado Landscaping for your landscaping projects."

"Javier arrived promptly. My husband showed him the problem with our backyard low voltage landscape lighting. Javier conducted an inspection, and found that the electrical outlet that the lights were plugged into was no longer functional. He plugged the cord into another outlet, and everything now functions just fine! Thank you Javier and M&J Prime Builders!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

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.
