"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."

"Very smooth, hired again to do a small bathroom remodel. Harvey Benjamin, the owner really impressed me and my husband. At first I wasn’t sure about letting such a young man handle such a huge project ($36,000) patio remodel. but after meeting with other local construction contractors, I was extremely impressed by Harvey’s Knowledge and expertise in the exterior field. long story short, within 10 days his team totally transformed our crappy little yard into a neighborhood Envy. they now Maintain our lawn and remove our snow in the winter time, eventually they were hired by our neighbors to do lawn maintenance . Great guy, affordable prices and extremely talented"

"We were referred to R & G Almanza Landscaping by our tree service. After a less-than-pleasant experience with another local fencing contractor (who did a terrible job repairing a shared fence that had blown down in spring windstorms), working with R&G was a fantastic experience. Although R & G is more well known locally for their yard maintenance work, the high-quality job they did installing my fence was exceptional. Their price was very reasonable, they were clean, fast, responsive and cared about the details. They even went above and beyond what I expected and really weeded and cleaned up the ground surrounding the fence. I plan on using them again next season for more landscaping work and even am considering them for weekly yard maintenance because of this experience. I highly recommend!"

"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."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.

Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include: 

  • Acorus (Sweet flag)

  • Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.

  • Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.

  • Juncus effusus (Curly rush)

  • Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.

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.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.
