"Alfredo is the BEST!!! He was always on time. His design concept was perfect and he more than exceeded my expectations. He is the best landscaper I have used. I had a mess from the previous landscaper, and he fixed it all. I highly recommend him."

"Ken and his team did a great job with a landscape project I've been holding off for about a year now. I had about 150 feet of dead blue pacific junipers on the side (slope) of my house that needed to be pulled out and new ones planted, 60 junipers total. Ken also pruned my crype myrtles, japanese maple, knockout rose bushes, sea-green junipers and pampas grass - these are not shrubs planted this spring but established shrubs for over 10 years, so not small by any means . The entire project looks amazing and I would hire Ken again for my next landscape project. Excellent communication throughout the process and the guys cleaned up well."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The best time to plant a privet hedge is autumn, ideally October or early November. Fall is the best time to plant privet hedges because young plants need plenty of water to jump-start their growth, and it typically rains more during this season. However, you can also successfully plant privets in the spring.

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.

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.
