"We have hired Aerate 1 several times and have always been thrilled with their work. They planted a tree and provided pruning after the tree matured. They surrounded our above ground pool with drainage covered by pea gravel inside brick, and installed a paver walkway to the pool's heater. They landscaped the front and side with mulch inside brick. Every time they do work they make the site look better than when they arrived, even in areas only slightly impacted by their work. I highly recommend their company due to their excellent work and commitment to keeping their promises about when and what will be done!"

"Almanza is the best in the area, I've learned the hard way. Had them as regulars for landscaping a few years back. They were great for the most part - Raul was excellent at doing extra jobs (paving, tree-cutting) fast and prompt at very reasonable prices. The yard looked great. However, when fall cleanup came, the crew left a lot of debris behind. During the summer, they also trimmed stuff I asked them not to trim and didn't trim what I wanted them to. I chalked it up to the crew though. Raul has always been great and I complained to him about it, noting I couldn't renew the contract with the same weekly crew. Not hearing from him about a different crew, I too hastily terminated the contract. BIG mistake. Subsequent lawn care and landscape specialists have been totally abysmal compared. I've learned that the weekly crews of any company are not as honest, hardworking, scrupulous, etc. as the owners but you have to put up with that stuff. It's just part of the game apparently. Looking back, aul's crew wasn't perfect, but they were a lot better than any others I've had. If you have him as a landscaper, keep him. A good dude. I've regretted my action more every year."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Juan at J&P Brothers Landscaping to transform my front and side yard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Juan and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to excellence. 1. Initial Consultation and Proposal: Juan visited my home, took meticulous measurements, and showed me impressive examples of his previous work. He listened attentively to my preferences and needs. Within a week, he provided a detailed proposal that broke down various options, including addressing our backyard landscaping needs. 2. Efficient Execution: After a brief delay due to rain (which Juan communicated promptly), his team efficiently cleared out the yard in just one day. Over the next two days, they laid down approximately 2,500 square feet of lush Kentucky Bluegrass in the front and side yards, as well as the parkway. Juan also addressed a water pooling issue near our foundation—a problem we’d been grappling with for a while. 3. Attention to Detail: Not only did Juan level the problematic area, but he also added a beautiful flower bed according to our agreed-upon plan. Landscape fabric was strategically placed to prevent weeds, and a layer of fresh mulch completed the look. Our neighbors have been giving us glowing complements —the transformation is remarkable! 4. Smooth Process: Juan’s digital contract process made everything hassle-free. I appreciated the transparency and ease of communication throughout the project. 5. Looking Ahead: My wife and I are thrilled with our rejuvenated front yard, and we’re already planning to engage Juan for our backyard landscaping. His expertise and dedication are unmatched. In summary, Juan and his team delivered exceptional results, turning our outdoor space into something truly special. If you’re seeking top-notch landscaping services, look no further—Juan is the real deal!"

"They repaired our landscaping lights.  We kept having lights go out and they got them going them again.  They suggested lights that were better to use.  They were very good.  They specialize in the landscape lighting, so they are the people to call."

"Daniel and the My Landscape Contractor (MLC) crew are incredible. I cannot say enough to convey how well they did fixing our patio and also creating new additional patio, a retaining wall, two privacy fences and a new composite ceiling under our second floor balcony. We had a paver patio that was sinking up to a foot in several locations causing major issues making our large, raised patio a hazard. We consulted with 4 other hardscape/landscape companies and MLC was the standout clear choice. We felt that Daniel had the best solutions at a reasonable price. He was confident in his solutions and executed them perfectly. He took my creative ideas for the new additions and made them work while keeping structure and long term stability a priority. We were very confident throughout the entire process that Daniel was the right choice. We appreciated that he kept in constant communication with us regarding the schedule and work. He oversaw and worked directly with his paver team on a daily basis for 2 weeks. It was amazing what they accomplished in such a short time given how much work was to be done. On a rare occasion, we noticed something small that needed to be changed and he immediately had it corrected. We worked with his paver team, softscape team (for sod) and carpentry team. Each team was professional and did excellent work. The best part is that we feel our patio will never sink again because they did such an excellent job. We highly recommend you hire MLC for your hardscape/landscape work and plan to hire them again for any of our future work."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

You should plant trees at least 15 to 20 feet away from your house, and more if the tree will grow large and spread its limbs. Trees pose several dangers to houses when planted too close. They can litter the roof with leaves and branches, create fire hazards, make a ladder for larger pests, and even damage the foundation as their roots grow.

Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want. Some add-on services may include the following:

  • Sourcing and delivery of raw materials

  • Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways

  • Drainage system design

  • Recommendations for specific plants and trees

Yes, such as sod installation and erosion control for comprehensive site improvement.

How much 4 yards of dirt will cover depends on how deep you want the soil to be. In general, a yard of dirt will cover 324 square feet for a 1-inch depth or 100 square feet for a 3-inch depth. Therefore, you can expect 4 yards to cover between 400 and 1,296 square feet if you keep your soil depth between 1 and 3 inches.

Yes, if you are using rocks to form a pathway or driveway, it’s a good idea to first install landscape fabric before layering in your rocks. Landscape fabric is your first line of defense against unwanted grass and weeds on your rocky surface.
