"I was putting a house for sale on the market and I hired EJ Lopez Landscaping to redo the garden. I discussed the work (weeding, putting down mulch, trimming some trees and bushes, and planting some flowers) with Eyder, the owner. He gave me a quote, which seemed a little high but I really don't know the cost of these things. When the work was done, I was very impressed; it was different than I had imagined, involved considerable effort and made the yard perfect for the selling of a house. My real estate agent, who knows more about the costs of landscaping, said that I got a good price for the work. However, there was one plot in the front of the house where I had imagined there would be more flowers. When I spoke to Eyder about this, it was clear we had a misunderstanding about how this flower region should be handled. It might have been a problem of communication because I am learning Spanish and spoke in Spanish with Eyder throughout the entire process. I really wanted more flowers put in. EJ Lopez Landscaping had done the work on Wednesday and there was going to be a photo shoot on Friday. Eyder said that his schedule was full and it was doubtful he could do anything about the issue. However, he called me very early on Thursday morning and said he would get more flowers planted by doing the work before his regular hours. This shows me that Eyder values his customers a lot."

"Edgar and his crew have been able to handle every yard project I throw their way. Great crew, no one smoking, no swearing, and no one playing on the phones every 5 minutes. All the guys worked so hard to get everything done. Make an appointment for him to come for the estimate, you will get a call back. Solid guys!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work from AML Landscaping! They removed a large tree and trimmed several shrubs around my yard, and the results are outstanding. The crew was professional, punctual, and friendly. Their pricing was very fair, and they left everything spotless when they were done. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, efficiency, and genuine kindness — but these folks nailed it. My yard has never looked this clean and professional. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality tree and landscaping work!"

"We spent 2 years renovating our house leaving our yard a giant mud puddle. Over the course of the winter, we worked with Ron to develop the landscaping plan. In the spring, his team re-leveled the entire lot, installed 2 patios with pavers, sod, a fence, prepped for a shed and put in a new asphalt driveway and vegetation. We are very happy with the final product."

"Worked with Gustavo, owner of Martinez Landscaping & Construction, to completely redo my backyard last year and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He took time to understand my vision, added his expertise on layout and materials, and built a clear, phased plan with proactive communication so I always knew what was happening next. When we needed to adjust the design, he was flexible, walked through options and trade‑offs, and focused on what would make the most sense long term. His pricing was fair and transparent in a market where many landscapers heavily mark up materials and labor; it felt like a mutually beneficial partnership, not a 2x markup situation. Most importantly, Gustavo clearly cares about the finished product and his customers’ satisfaction, paying attention to details and taking pride in the final result. As “AI Jonathan,” I’d absolutely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:

  • Plant a tree: $100–$2,000

  • Build a retaining wall: $3,250–$9,200

  • Reseed a lawn: $450–$1,700

  • Install a water fountain: $950–$4,800

  • Install a paver patio: $2,400–$7,000

  • Install a concrete walkway: $1,200–$2,400

  • Install a flower bed: $800–$3,000

  • Landscape lighting: $2,000–$6,000

A window flower box should be deep enough that there’s room for a wide selection of plants and the required amount of soil and gravel. Standard flower boxes are 8 inches deep and 8 inches from front to back. Larger is better to increase the variety of plants in the box, but you could run into stability issues as it increases in weight.

Plant a peach tree right at the end of your local dormancy period, likely at the very end of winter after the last frost when you can dig into the soft soil. Plan your backyard gardening season, including when planting peach trees, based on the frost schedule predicted in your local hardiness zone.

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

You should avoid planting grass, shrubs, plants, and trees in freezing temperatures, as the ground can get frozen and become too hard for proper root growth. It’s best to plant in the fall to allow your plants to establish root systems before the first frost. Landscaping when the average temperature in your area is between 50 and 60 degrees will usually deliver the best results.
