"From the beginning they were very courteous and professional. The project was to cut into the hill in back of house to make a level spot for a pool. I needed a 22'x14' flat spot. They built a wall 22'x5' tall with 14' wing walls. Level in the middle. Cleaned up nicely. Sod around the walls and grass seed Under hay where they smashed down yard. Hay blanket in flat area. Very pleased. Highly recommend LA Landscaping !"

"Matt, Randy and their crew were absolutely AMAZING. They gave us a fair price, answered all of our question, and explained everything up front. Once we had the bid, the COVID-19 stuff happened and then the crummy weather, but their team was able to get out here and do the job. It took about a week as expected. The completed job ended up looking wonderful. Work like this is bound to have some effects on grass and other landscaping, but they filled in the necessary top soil and left everything looking great - down to the smallest details. I would not think twice about having his team come out and do other jobs. You cannot go wrong here! Thanks Outlook!"

Small jobs welcome

"I needed a retaining wall repair and found KingRose Landscaping. These guys were amazing!! They were prompt, kind, and most importantly they communicated with us throughout the whole process. Honestly, these guys have renewed our outlook on contractors since we had very bad experiences with other contractors and other jobs before this project. But KingRose has restored my outlook on contractors. They were also very quick in getting the project done, and their clean-up efforts were also great too. His Dad is a very good masonry as well. They do amazing work as a team! Also, their prices for their services were very reasonable. I was so very happy with this company and will be a return customer for sure. I strongly and highly recommend this company for any of your landscaping or concrete needs."

"Armando is very responsive. He gives clear quotes, provides high quality service, shows when he says he is going to show, and finishes on time. He created new rock landscape beds, installed a sprinkler system with plant spaghetti lines, repaired our fence, and up in sod after we installed a new pool. He followed up proactively when I needed to winterize and completed that without me even having to call him. He has also done work for my Mom. I will continue to use him and would highly recommend him. He great value for the price."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

By definition, gardeners are experts at designing and maintaining outdoor gardens. Their job duties extend far beyond choosing the right plants for the area, which in itself is a job—they also help maintain the health and well-being of the plants. Gardeners work independently or for landscapers, nurseries, or horticulture design companies.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

The landscaping elements that add the most value are often the basics. A well-maintained, attractive lawn can have a return on investment (ROI) of up to 217%. Routine lawn maintenance, such as edging and mulching, can provide an ROI of over 100%. Other high-value projects include upgrading your front walkway, which can offer a 100% ROI, and planting trees. Projects like adding decks, patios, outdoor lighting, irrigation systems, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens also add value and enjoyment, though their direct financial ROI may be less than 100% in some cases.

If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.

You should use mulch because it protects garden soil in a few key ways. This extra layer between the ground and the elements protects against erosion, helps your soil maintain moisture, regulates changes in temperature, adds nutrients as it decomposes, and keeps weeds at bay.
