"Jose and his crew completely rebuilt our stone patio and wall that was falling apart, and surrounded it with redone landscaping. We are thrilled with the result. Jose has an eye for design. He makes good suggestions and sees possibilities we did not. He used high quality materials and plants and was careful not to damage the surrounding area. I highly recommend him."

"They did an amazing job and worked several days to landscape my front and backyard. They placed mulch, removed weeds, cut tree limbs down, plus more. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. I love everything that they did and would definitely hire them back. Give them a chance and they will do great work at a good price as well."

"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."

"I recently hired J.J. Sanchez Landscaping to trim low-hanging branches on a couple of trees and ended up with a complete makeover of the front and back patios, and I couldn't be happier! The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They transformed both patios from looking okay to beautiful. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs! From the initial consultation to the final touches, J.J. Sanchez Landscaping was fantastic. They communicated every step of the way and made sure I was happy with the progress. I will definitely be using their services again!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.

Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

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.

Plant privet hedges at least 1 foot apart in a trench about 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. It’s important to space privet hedges relatively far apart due to how quickly they grow to significant sizes and heights. You don’t want to crowd privet plants, or they could overcrowd each other, causing unwanted damage.
