"It was incredibly easy! They showed up on time and had the job completed in 2 days. They replaced the irrigation, installed the sod and fixed our drip irrigation. The landscapers were professional, polite and hard working! I would definitely hire them again. After a few weeks our lawn is lush and beautiful! ?"

"I am so happy with the results. They cleaned up, trimmed trees, put down bark & rock. My yards look amazing. These guys really went above and beyond. They cleaned off the roof of my shed. In fact, they even fixed my mailbox!"
"The owner initially came to my home to assess the work I needed to have done. He is very knowledgeable about landscaping. The time he spent upfront was greatly appreciated as he fully understood to my landscaping needs. He had great ideas on how to replant a tree, recommend how to control grubs and how to properly care for specific plants. Once the project began the owner was no longer involved. In fact, I never saw him again. In addition to his landscaping services I had him give me a bid for painting my new fence and yard fence. The painting itself was very nicely done however, the worker(s) were careless and left several oil based paint spots damaging 15-20 of my brand new pavers. When I addressed this with The Owner he replied via email his worker(s) told him they didn’t do it. I provided pictures of the pavers as proof to substantiate my claim. The Owner had his lead come by our home to fix a sprinkler head that was covered during sod repair and to remove these stains. When I reached out to The Owner again he solely relied upon his lead who promptly told him the oil based paint stains were removed. The stains still remain, I’ve contacted my pavers company who clearly stated “oil based paint cannot be removed!” It became blatantly obvious the owner was siding with employee. In fact, The Owner not once has stepped foot on my property since he took the bid. He never came to oversee the project and all contact with him has been via email or text. Lastly, we were in agreement to plant a new tree. As of this review, I have never heard back and there was never any follow up as to when this would be done. I really had high hopes In the beginning and I am very disappointed in The Owner’s project management. He appears to be knowledgeable but my recommendation is that he needs to manage his team, stay closer to the project and make an attempt to do a final walk through. Lastly his hourly bill rate was inconsistent vs. negotiated. Hourly rate doubled for final day of painting which I regretfully paid."
"Welcome Home Landscape did a fantastic job on our yard. Ken and Emily are a talented team and their hard work and creative ideas made such a wonderful improvement in both our front and back yards. We were so pleased, we have hired them to also do routine maintenance. I would highly recommend them for any landscape needs."
"Oliver Branch replaced the concrete in our garage. They outlined every step they were going to take in the process, as well as communicated to me an estimate beforehand. They installed the necessary components and removed/hauled away the old existing cement. The team is meticulous with their work, and they completed the job on time. I'd recommend this company for any landscape/concrete work."
"Prestige did such an amazing job in my backyard. He built a retaining wall to level my backyard installed synthetic turf that just looks so amazing and natural. He also did an interlocking paver patio. He was fast efficient and his estimate was well on point compared to others who are charging outrageous prices. I will use them in the future for my front yard. Thank you Carlos your amazing !"
"We started with Vazquez Landscaping after we moved into our rental home and had problems keeping up with the lawn and normal jobs. They came and cleared out the jungle of horrid bushes in the back yard, and went above and beyond that we did not recognize the yard at all-it looked better than when we moved in. Since then (three years ago) we have had them come twice a month and our lawn looks so much cleaner and maintained when they are done. The edging, cleanup, mowing, each time we have had great service from the company."
"Acer Landscaping & Tree Service were a pleasure to work with. They provided a fair and reasonable quote for removing several trees and their stumps in my backyard. Since the owner was in my local area, he was able to visit the site and provide a quote on the same day I called. The owner and his crew were onsite early and worked efficiently and professionally while maintaining social distancing and/or wearing of face masks. I'm very pleased with their services and will hire them again for future work."
"Excellent service. Everado called immediately. Appointment set and arrived on time and completed small project with sprinkler system. I will definitely use them again for my landscaping projects."
Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.
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.
Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:
During the fall, you’re likely to see foliage in stunning shades of orange, red, yellow, and brown. These colors emerge because of a seasonal decline in the pigment chlorophyll that makes leaves green.
Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.
