"Jason has just come once so far but did a very nice job of mowing, blowing and planting some plants. He has a good grasp of landscaping fundamentals and knows quite a bit about seeding, fertilizing."

"Mr. Jordan did an outstanding job of cleaning up the leaves in my yard. It's a big yard with lots of leaves and he worked tirelessly for several hours and left it looking great. I would definitely recommend him for his professional attitude and dependability."

"Great company and team to work with. We requested a retaining wall for the front of our home, metal edging for the sides and back, some intensive weeding/mulching, and some concrete pavers to install in one section. It was a complex job, but the Soto team was very well priced. More importantly, they are incredibly honest. Rigo reached out early and let me know we could save a huge amount of money if we ordered the pavers and river rock on our own, since the company would order in bulk quantities larger than we'd actually need. Then, when it was time to install they brought a huge team in and finished the entire process within a day and a half. The whole team was kind and patient with me (I know very little about landscaping) and it was a very comfortable process. Multiple neighbors have already reached out impressed with the quality of work! They fully deserve a 5 star and I'll be sure to call them for future landscaping needs too."

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.

Most experts recommend a quarter-inch layer of compost for best results, and you will need about .77 cubic yards of material per 1,000 square feet. To measure how much compost to use, take the square footage of your yard and multiply it by .77, then divide that number by 1,000.

Palm trees are relatively easy to grow, especially when planting different varieties in their native habitats. While regular watering is crucial in the first couple of months while the palm develops a strong root ball, palms typically require minimal maintenance once they’re established. You’ll need to prune palm fronds once or twice per year to keep it in tip-top shape.

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

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
