"Ryan trimmed several large bushes in my front and back yard. He removed the debris and took additional items to the dump. He was pro-active and cleaned areas that needed help."

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."

"We highly recommend Palomas Landscape! Miguel Barajas was one of the most professional contractors we have ever worked with. He was the only one that we interviewed that offered great suggestions for us which we appreciated and found very helpful. He did a great job overseeing the whole project keeping his hard working employees moving and the work completed in a timely manner. Rock retaining walls and rock steps done right are truly a work of art and take special talent. We found the best of the best for this! We will definitely use them again!"

"HD Landscaping did an amazing job on our front and backyard project. What started as new sprinklers and sod evolved into a beautifully executed hardscape transformation. Mr. Hoang was incredibly flexible and patient with our last-minute changes. Mid-project, we decided to extend our planter boxes and add lighting for a warmer, more welcoming feel. Even when we changed the planter box height and requested a different type of sod after the initial batch was delivered, Mr. Hoang remained calm and professional throughout. Their top-tier craftsmanship really shined on the planter boxes—their attention to detail on the complex curve was fantastic. HD Landscaping completely transformed our home. I cannot recommend Mr. Hoang and his team enough!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.

Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want. Some add-on services may include the following:

  • Sourcing and delivery of raw materials

  • Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways

  • Drainage system design

  • Recommendations for specific plants and trees

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

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.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.
