"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!)"

"I highly recommend Desert Terrain landscaping, I had a yard that hadn’t had any attention in many years, old lawn dated watering system. I had a certain budget, got 4 quotes, but price wasn’t the only reason I went with Desert Terrain, the owner Raffi, is a straight shooter, a true desert local. I grew up in Indio, so I connected with him quickly, he asked me my budget and worked with me to get the front and backyard landscaped and modified my current sprinkler system to drip irrigation. I had a cactus garden, and transplanted a lot of cactus throughout the property. His staff is very friendly and work very hard. I highly recommended Desert Terrain for your next project. App is only letting upload 2 photos for some reason."

"I had an amazing experience with Panther’s Landscape! They completely transformed part of my yard and installed turf to make the perfect play area for my pups! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. The crew was friendly, efficient, and clearly cared about getting everything just right. My dogs absolutely love their new space — it looks beautiful, drains well, and feels incredibly safe and clean. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their yard. Before and after photos are included. ❤️🐶❤️🐾"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

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.

Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting. 

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

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.
