"Taz construction did a outstanding job on our retaining wall and refreshed our hill with new plants and mulch. They cleaned up after the project was completed, along with doing extra work around the site. We will have them back on any further work we need done."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had (4) maple trees needing to be trimmed / cleaned up. Curt V. came out to my home and provided a very reasonable quote compared to others. He along with Chris and Preston came out and did an immaculate job with the trimming and removal of trees. I am extremely satisfied with the job they did! Would definitely hire them on for future trimming and any other landscaping project!"

"They did an excellent job of cleaning up. My yard looks really wonderful right now, but they've got to come back and lay the landscape Escape Fabric and The Mulch, but they did such a great job. Everything they've done so far. I'm sure they'll do a good job on the fabric of the most. I mean, they're just really hard workers and really pleasant. Really nice to work with, I just sort of, never had a nicer group of people work for me. And especially Sante Luna. He's just such a delight. He's just very patient with an 81-year-old lady and explains things. And he's just wonderful. I said that he they have a lot of services, and I will be happy to use them over and over because they're so outstanding. They're hard workers and do a great job. They just do absolutely. They're high, very hard workers. They do a great job. They're very pleasant in Ba They're very reasonably priced. And they have. They do many things, so I will have them back over and over because they are so good. And I'm so excited to find them a widow and, I need help with my yard and they do everything imaginable.

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

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.
