"Chris and the Trimen Landscape crew did a great job! They releveled my yard, got rid of the remains of a big stump, installed irrigation and sod. The work went very quickly and everyone was very professional and detailed. This is my second time hiring them and would highly recommend them!"

"Generally, Green Iguana did a good job of cleaning up leaves from my yard. They also took the raked leaves with them so I didn’t have to stack bags in my driveway. If I had one area where they could have improved it was that they some leaves scattered near the landscaped areas (not in the landscaped areas, as they had to leave some or they would have had to also take up the mulch). I may be a little particular, but when I pay to have my leaves removed, I expect them all to be gone. Outside of that one comment, Green Iguana did a decent job, arrived on time and didn’t leave a mess for me to clean up."

Customers say: Quick response

"They did an amazing job. We are absolutely thrilled with the results. Several neighbors have already inquired about who performed the paver installation so Olvera will likely get some more business out of this project. Since I plan on hiring them again for some landscaping, I hope they don’t get TOO busy."

"They installed artificial turf in our back yard. My concern was that the seams would be visible. Instead, it looks incredible and more natural than I could have imagined. Our dogs and child love it and there are no more holes of dirt in the yard for us to trip over. Easy to clean up after everyone and leaves blow right off too. They were incredibly friendly, responsive and professional. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Moss attaches to the ground but doesn’t have roots, so it can take four to six weeks for establishment to begin. It takes between 12 and 18 months for full coverage, and maximum thickness takes about two years. Keep your moss moist and debris-free to ensure it establishes itself well.

Consulting your local university extension, Audubon society, or municipal urban forestry program are all good ideas when choosing a tree to plant. You can also ask an arborist or a knowledgeable landscaping company for advice on good trees to plant.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

Yes, weeds can still grow in decomposed granite. If properly compacted, it can act as a good weed suppressant, meaning you’ll only pull weeds occasionally. But no ground cover is completely weed-proof. To further prevent weeds, you can try spraying your decomposed granite with distilled white vinegar.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.
