"Ramon and his team have taken care of my yard for over 3 years and they do a great job. They have also re-landscaped the area where our pool was, including pulling pulling out the old posts from the deck that was by the pool. It looks like there was never a pool there! Recently they replaced some pavers by the front porch and in front of our shed. They suggested a contrasting border outlining and it turned out great. I highly recommend Del Rio's."

"So great! They were so fast and so cheap! Our dog had dug up parts of our back yard and we even had a tree stump. Now looks amazing. We now spend more time in the backyard in 1 week than we have the 3 years prior COMBINED"

"Midwest Landscaping did a top-notch job on my front yard. I had 2 trees that needed major trimming, along with thinning of an over abundance of hostas. Pat was very personable and friendly, making it easy for me to voice my wishes and concerns. He explained in detail the big branches he would cut, where and how he would place the flagstone paths & outcropping stones and also the new nursery stock his workers would be planting. He and his team were quick and professional completing their work and clean-up in one day. They moved and re-planted some of my existing plants too, expertly placing them and changing my helter-skelter overgrown hosta carpet to a beautiful park-like setting. Beginning with something that looked overly oppressive & shady, my front landscaping now looks light, airy and welcoming. My curb appeal has just gone up 100%! Pat and his team of professionals were fabulous!"

"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!"

"Tom was an incredible resource and project manager for our home backyard project. He worked with us to get the brick materials we wanted for our patio. He helped us install an area of artificial turf as well. His team worked hard and were working every day during the work week until project completed. Highly recommend Tom!"

"The crew came out and left my yard unrecognizable! My whole back yard was a jungle and the team was able to clear everything up. They had even taken out tree stumps that were next to impossible to take out. Very satisfied and highly recommend this company. Great prices, and a crew who cares about their quality of work. Will definitely be hiring them for the spring!"

"Mike and Eddie were great. They arrived on the days they said they would arrive and they were on time. The new sidewalk looks great. When I told them I needed them to come back to clean up they did it the same day. I highly recommend this company."

"Glenn was very pleasant and professional. I run a home daycare and in search of a better surface for the kids to play on. I was tired of replacing sod every other year. It seems like this ground cover should last until I retire, then I will go back to the real thing. For now I have no muddy spot and the children can go out daily."

"Oceguera Landscaping replaced an old paver patio for us. They came out with a competitive quote the same day I requested it and had the patio completed within a day that same week. Their work was clean, efficient and professional. We’re very happy with it and would highly recommend."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Yes, rock gardens do need water. That said, they typically require less regular watering and, instead, more occasional, deep watering since the rocks trap moisture for longer than mulch. Make sure you don’t water your rock garden too much during the winter.

Yes, you can absolutely transplant bushes instead of removing them completely. The success depends on the size of the bushes, their age, and the transplanting season. Ideally, transplant during the dormant season (late fall or winter). Dig out the entire root system in one piece, fill the new hole with fresh soil and mulch, and water thoroughly after planting.

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. 

As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:

  • Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy

  • Decline in growth

  • Leaves turn black within 3 years

  • Grass appears less vibrant

  • Grass begins to thin

  • Root rot

  • Grass takes longer to recover

The best landscaping for a septic drain field is shallow-rooted grass or native vegetation that helps prevent soil erosion while allowing water to evaporate efficiently. Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or deep-rooted plants near the drain field because the roots can infiltrate pipes and cause blockages. Using mulch or gravel sparingly can also help retain moisture and protect the system without restricting airflow.
