"This is the second year that Del Rio's Landscaping did my Spring Clean Up and Landscaping.  All services exceeded my expectations once again.  Ramon Del Rio and crew are punctual, polite and definitely get the job done right!  Ramon is very pleasant to work with and is very reasonably priced.  Everything was spotless and beautiful when they finished.  My neighbors have all been commenting on how nice my Landscaping looks! I will definitely contract Del Rio's Landscaping again next year!"

"Harvey and his team did an excellent job installing new landscaping in my front yard. They were prompt and professional. I liked the quality of their work and hired them again to install sod in the back yard as well as the side of my house. I plan on using Harvey’s services again this upcoming spring season."

"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."

"They repaired our landscaping lights.  We kept having lights go out and they got them going them again.  They suggested lights that were better to use.  They were very good.  They specialize in the landscape lighting, so they are the people to call."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to plant a tree in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.

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.

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

There are many benefits to raised garden beds. It’s easier to control weeds and enrich the soil. The truth is, most top soil isn’t suitable for growing veggies, and you’ll need to make adjustments. It’s easier to adjust a controlled space than a large area.

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
