"Alberto with AB landscaping came by and gave me a quote for the landscaping work that included some slight grading of my back yard and installing Bermuda sod. We ordered the sod and the day before it was delivered Alberto and his crew came by and completed the grading work and returned the next day and layed the sod. Great job AB landscaping my backyard looks great. Thank you for a job well done"

"David and his team are AMAZING! They took a day and a half to transform most of my backyard! First, they installed a mortared decorative brick edging all around my beds. Next, I had an area that was basically a muddy mess because of too much water sitting around. He cleared that area, laid big, beautiful pavers down for a walkway and filled in the bare areas with river rock! Finally, they laid fresh brown mulch in my beds. Wow!! I have used these guys in the past and I will most definitely be using them in the future. His crew was very knowledgeable, tidy, productive and kind. Any questions I had, they answered and were on point! Finally, David is very fair on pricing. He’s thorough and is quick to return phone calls and text messages. I love my new backyard and I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg like some of the other landscape companies out there."

"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."

"Ken & crew are great workers and problem solvers. Installed sod in an area that was suffering from flooding and shade. . Prepped ground. Added dirt to low lying area that was flooding. Laid sod. Now runs off as it should. Also, down spout was throwing water to foundation. They installed a French drain, rain pipe along front of house to tie into another gutter down pipe, sending water underground to street behind house. All done creatively, quickly, and affordably. They do great work and stand by it. Will definitely use again."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many providers offer organic or eco-friendly treatments. Confirm availability with your contractor.

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

Yes, adding a pergola can add value to your home and provides an excellent selling point for potential buyers who enjoy outdoor living. Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment. To add more value, choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and have it professionally installed. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may also give you a better return on investment.

Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.

It depends. Smaller, younger trees take longer to mature, but they're more resilient, their roots don't get as damaged during transplanting, and they recover faster. Plus, they're much more affordable to plant, and it's possible to DIY the planting. 

On the other hand, mature trees produce fruit faster and provide more shade and privacy immediately. Ideally, a small or medium tree is the better choice if you can wait a few years for it to mature. But if you need immediate maturity, a larger tree is the only option.
