"Del Rio's Landscaping did a WONDERFUL job on our garden pathways. They were prompt, professional and did an excellent job. In fact I am hiring them to put in a garden walk way on the other side of my house. Highly recommend them! Brian and Jennifer Gosizk Barrington, Illinois"

"Juan and Jose worked with us a few years ago. Once we bought our new home they were the first on our list to call for landscaping needs. They installed new entryway, spring clean up etc. As always, they were professional, good communication, flexible and punctual. The finished product was the envy of my neighborhood. If you are looking for reliable, hard working, professional and flexible landscapers Juan and Jose are the ones to call. At this point they are like family. They are currently providing landscaping services for me biweekly. My lawn is looking great! Thank you and the crew for an amazing walkway and entry way."

"Dean from D&D was amazing to work with on our landscaping project. Our yard needed a lot of work, and from our first meeting, we could tell Dean had extensive experience and knowledge. He educated us throughout the process, built a custom a design layout specific to our needs and provided with us additional support even after the job was done. His passion and care for his clients was very apparent throughout the project. We plan to use him for future landscaping projects and plan to refer him to anyone we know."

"R.R.V. Landscaping is a very professional and superior landscaping company. Their overall customer service and pricing is exceptional from the moment of first contact to completing the job. They completed spring cleanup, mulching, laid down a low brick border wall around our vegetable garden just as we asked, and the end result was beautiful. They also trimmed our bushes and mowed our lawn. Raul was very timely in texting me back whenever I had a question and is easy to work with. We look forward to continuing our business with them in the future, which will include weekly mowing/trimming, all season cleanup and lawn treatments. My husband and I highly recommend this landscaping company."

"Alex and his father did a fantastic job with adding in to my existing patio. From start to finish, the communication was consistent and timely. Getting a quote was easy, whereas I had to hound other landscapers just to get a quote. Alex kept in touch with me every step of the way. They were able to start the project quickly and worked very hard. Iâ m so happy with the result and I highly recommend this company for any landscaping services!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.
