"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars Isn’t Enough! On Saturday, July 25, 2026, I was searching for a reliable landscaper when I contacted Aaron King of King’s Turf Solutions. Even though it was a busy Saturday, Aaron took the time to personally call me and let me know he would come out to provide an estimate. That alone impressed me. What happened next truly speaks to the kind of person and businessman he is. On Sunday, July 26, 2026—a day he normally doesn’t work—Aaron came to my home and completely transformed my property. He did a beautiful job landscaping the front of my house, giving it a fresh, clean, and welcoming appearance. He also mowed my lawn, cleared my backyard of overgrown weeds, and left everything looking absolutely beautiful. His work was meticulous, and he treated my property with the same care and respect as if it where his own. Aaron is an outstanding landscaper but also an exceptional young man. He is professional, courteous & hardworking, BEST SERVICE EVER. Warmly Helena & Max"

"I found Luis’s company through Angie’s list. He contacted me almost immediately after I submitted my project request, came over the next day to give me an estimate and completed the work on the following day. I needed extensive landscaping, tree and brush trimming, cutting back a very over grown area and cleaning gutters. He and his crew showed up on time and immediately got to it. Luis made sure everything was done to my specifications and was very attentive to details and clean up. I’m definitely going to use this company again. He is pleasant, professional and the work was performed efficiently while being mindful of what I wanted. So easy to work with. Even did my job on Sunday to accommodate my schedule. Luis also blew out the leaves in my garage as a freebie! This company is the real deal!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. Plan your backyard gardening season, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.

Xeriscaped lawns are far more varied than many gardeners initially assume. The often-pictured rocky and cacti-filled landscapes are just one option. Many wildflower-, herb-, and mulch-covered landscapes follow the same principles without straying too far from the lush and colorful landscapes we have come to know. In fact, there are numerous xeriscape ideas for customizing an energy-efficient lawn to your liking.

Yes, it is possible to add too little mulch. Anything less than 1 inch will likely result in too little coverage around your plants, allowing weeds to grow through and minimizing the positive effects that a deeper bed of mulch would have, like maintaining proper soil moisture and insulating the ground.

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.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
