"Pete is a bundle of energy! He was one of the first responders, quoted a reasonable price and had solid thoughts about the potential. If you have a plan in mind, he will make it happen. If not, stand back and turn him loose. Our front landscape was an overgrowth disaster, Pete made it right. Trustworthy and recommended."

"Prompt professional work. Marco and his crew cleared and landscaped my overgrown disaster of a yard in a timely manner. A beautiful mulched garden was put in. Marco's price was by far the most reasonable quote I was given. A+ work, I highly recommend Marco Landscaping."

"Derek and the gang did a BANG up job. I got just what I was looking for. At first visit, I was just going to re sod the lawn. Then i read Shady Lady website. I called Derek back to have a talk about a change in plans. Now I can't be MORE pleased that Derek took the time, to come back and work with me on my new quest. I love my yard. And the lighting of it at night. WOW WOW WOW."

"Wonderfully! MDA LAWN was extremely professional and thorough with their service! I've used them repeatedly on trimming, hedging and mowing. II needed a troublesome bush deeply rooted in my yard taken out and they were able to remove it in no time, and on an extremely quick turnaround time! Lifesavers! I've recommended them to friends and family because it's hard to find a service nowadays that doesn't cut corners !"

"I had the pleasure of hiring California Palms Landscaping for a large project at my home. Steven Miro and his team were fantastic. They installed a sprinkler system, plants and sod for my front and back yards. They were efficient, cost-effective and the utmost professionals. I was so pleased with the results I hired them again to install my patio. It looks awesome! I will be using California Palms Landscaping for all of my outdoor needs. I highly recommend you try them."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Multiple rules of thumb exist when discussing tree planting. When planting a tree, the best rule of thumb is to provide it with everything it needs to survive and thrive in its new environment. That may mean learning about the type of tree you're planting and studying the best methods of taking care of it before purchasing and planting. 

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

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.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

A scattering of leaves won’t pose a problem through the winter, but a thicker layer of leaves may not decompose before the first frost and can instead weigh down your grass and harbor mold or fungi. A thick layer of leaves also cuts off light and air that grass needs to grow. That’s why we suggest removing thick leaf layers within several days if possible. If your lawn goes dormant over the winter and snow has already caught up with you, then remove the leaves in early spring before your grass-growing season starts so your lawn can thrive.
