"Peter and crew did a wonderful job of transforming our front yard from blah to wow. We are so happy every time we look out our front window or drive up to our home. Peter was very easy to work with. He listened to what we wanted to do, made a few suggestions and came up with a couple of great ideas as the project progressed. They completed the job on time and also cleaned up after each day's work. We would use Green Hornet Landscaping again and would definitely recommend them."

"I have been using ?Roblero Sod Installation and Landscaping? for over two years and I couldn?t be more pleased with the attention to detail and professionalism. If I have a project either big or small, Jose is always up for the challenge with competitive proofing and quick service. In my onion, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you contract another landscaping company."

Customers say: Quality work

"Southern Landscaping did an outstanding job mulching all the landscaping beds in and around our large condo community! Their team worked incredibly hard, completing the project quickly with excellent results. We're very happy with their efficient and high-quality work and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. Lupe was extremely easy to work with and very responsive to our requests. Hire him!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

Finding a reputable greenhouse or nursery should start online, where you can read through customer reviews to gauge the quality of the plants sold and the customer experience. Look out for customers complaining about plants dying shortly after purchase, and try to choose a greenhouse known for hiring employees who are able to explain how to care for the plants you purchase. It’s also a good idea to head to a few greenhouses to see the selection they offer and make sure they carry the plants or trees you’re looking for.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.

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.
