"Alex is a very hard worker but beyond that he is a very well self taught hard landscape architect . He is creative and inspiring. I initially hired him to put up a fence. He did such a great job I hired him to redo my pond. It came out beautifully. I then hired him to redo my poolâ s patio area and erect a small brick barrier between the flower beds and the patio and once again it was beautifully done. He also put in two walkways that charmingly meander through the forest behind the pool house. We are now planning to put in a bocce court . On a scale of one to ten Alex is a twelve. I highly recommend him. PS his prices are very competitive so much so that he was the low bidder on these projects. He is the best landscape architect I have ever hired and a great guy to work with."

"Project: Privacy fence installation We contracted Martin Alvarez with Alvarez Landscaping Company to install over 200 linear feet of privacy fence. Martin was very easy to get in contact with and provided an estimate for our project in a short time frame. He was very knowledgeable and recommended ways we could save money. He and his colleagues were very professional and completed our project in a very quick turnaround time. The work and craftsmanship is excellent, and he was very accommodating to all of our requests. We now have a solid privacy fence and two custom gates all for a price that canâ t be beat."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.
