"My husband and I worked with Four Brothers Landscaping to complete a front, back, and side yard landscaping project in September 2021. Antonio - who runs the company and was our main point of contact - was absolutely wonderful to work with. He arrived on time for every appointment, communicated throughout every step of the project, navigated the tight timelines and complicated project flow we were working with (we were working against installation schedules for fencing and irrigation, and a massive chimney masonry project that popped up in the middle of the landscaping one), and made such helpful suggestions along the way. The crew was fantastic - so friendly, meticulous, quick, and left the workspace immaculate at the end of each day. Antonio's wife, who oversees a majority of the operations, was so wonderful to work with as well. It truly is a family operation run by honest, hard working people. Prior to connecting with Antonio for the project, we met with three other landscapers who either over complicated the details, or never followed up after our initial meeting. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Four Brothers Landscaping as they completely transformed our property and went above and beyond in every aspect of the job. We enjoyed working with them so much and hope to have more projects with them in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Adam from Visions Landscaping did an amazing job understanding our requirements and planning everything meticulously. He did an amazing job replacing the faulty wiring and damaged bulbs. He even came back a few days later after sunset to see if any of the landscape lights needs adjustments. I would highly recommend Adam to anybody needing help with landscape lighting"

"Victor and his team did an amazing job on my yard. He put in a paver patio, put in a stone walkway filled with gravel around it, leveled my yard and put sod down. My husband and I love it so much! He gave us a great price for quality work."

"Home Line replaced two walkways and my driveway with pavers. Incredible job, and they were done in 2 days. They moved dirt and sod from the excavation of the driveway so that I could repurpose it elsewhere. Final product looks amazing. Nothing but compliments from my neighbors. Highly recommend."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Ernest and Sons to construct our patio tiles. We purchased 2' X 2' Tiles and I have to say they did a gorgeous job. I was so pleased with the way they showed up when they said they would. The men that laid out on my job worked so hard. The labor was very strenuous but they never took a break. They were the most conscientious and polite workers I've ever dealt with. They worked neatly, cleaned up totally afterward, and just had a great deal of respect for our property. They really did a beautiful job and Ernest, the owner is a real gentleman also. Love this company!"

"Lately haven't been able to get to the lawn. It started looking a forest. So much so, that my backyard became a regular hang out spot for deers. Castaneda is very professional. Called to get estimates from other landscapers. Castaneda Landscapers was one of the few who showed up for the estimate. While the landscapers who said they would come for estimates never did. I hate when people do that. After the others never showed. Castaneda got the job. They showed on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. They helped us with the areas that needed help. When they were finished, I was surprised because I never seen my lawn look so clean. Had to give them a tip. This isn't a bot or a friend or relative of theirs writing this. I'm a new customer of Castaneda Landscapers who really liked their work. Will be working with them again."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

The best time to plant a tree is in the spring, so the roots have time to grow into the surrounding soil before winter sets in. Some people recommend planting in the late fall. However, planting in the spring reduces the stress on the tree, as it will be emerging from dormancy, giving it the full spring and summer ahead to acclimate and put down roots into the soil.

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.

It’s usually best to buy plants from a local greenhouse or nursery yourself, but landscapers are also a reliable option. First, you can choose exactly what plants you want based on their appearance rather than relying on your landscaper to choose. Additionally, while it’s more time-consuming to go buy the plants yourself, you’ll often save money because landscapers charge for delivery and may upcharge the plants. You can also speak to a professional at a nursery to ensure you understand how to care for your plants and get the most long-term value.

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.

Yes, you can landscape in the rain, but you should take some precautions to keep yourself and your tools safe. Avoid using electric landscaping tools during rainfall, and don’t mow, thatch, aerate, or rake in the rain, as your tools can more easily tear out roots in the loose soil. Be careful when working on wet grass, and take your time to avoid slipping. Avoid putting in new plants before a particularly bad storm, as heavy rain and strong winds can damage or uproot plants that aren’t yet established.
