"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."

"Some guys say the happiest day of their life was when they married their wife, however, for me it was when D&D Landscaping finished my front yard. ð All kidding aside they performed an exceptional job that was above and beyond my highest expectations. They completely removed all previous landscaping and installed all new landscaping along with a watering system for the shrubs/trees and a beautiful lighting system. The transformation is completely incredible and I couldnâ t be happier with the outcome Moreover, the entire process of working with Dean from D&D Landscaping was exceptional. Prior to D&D Landscaping coming into the picture I was meeting with several other landscaping contractors and found that none had any vision. I would ask them what they think should be done to my front yard and they had few ideas and would simply reply that they would do whatever I wanted. That forced me to do a ton of research and sketch up a design myself. On the other hand, Dean from D&D Landscaping had tons of ideas and he sketched-up a complete design that far exceeded mine given his extensive background in all-things landscaping. Moreover, none of the other landscapers offered a watering system or a lighting system as part of their base package, which further separated D&D Landscaping from other landscapers. I highly recommend D&D Landscaping for the incredible job they do, but they are also seemingly one of the few landscaping companies that are fully insured with both Liability Insurance and Workmanâ s Compensation Insurance, which was also highly important to me."

"Try JK Company. I obtained 5 estimates from different companies, and JK provided the most competitive quote for the job I needed (instead of unnecessary extra up-sales). I hadnâ t used them before, so I was more than impressed with their communication, timeliness, professionalism and quality of work. They know what theyâ re doing and involve you in all decisions. They fixed a botched job by a landscaper who said he knew how to work with paver patios, but didnâ t have experience or expertise. Tinoâ s crew built a beautiful patio with fireplace by leveraging existing walls, shape and color of the house, and length of the back yard. This is the first time Iâ ve taken time to write a review for anyone, and Iâ m doing it because of how impressed I was with Tino, Kelsey and their crew. Theyâ re worth the try!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

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.

A half inch above ground level is ideal for metal edging. This provides enough depth for the edging to hold in place and enough height to keep in most landscaping materials (like mulch or gravel). If you install edging too high off the ground, it will stand out from your landscaping and pose a tripping risk. If you install it too low, your ground cover won’t stay in place.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.
