"I'm very satisfied with the tree trimming work done by Shaddai Landscaping . They were quick to respond to my request and were prompt to arrive as scheduled. They explained what they would be doing for each tree and were efficient in getting it done. Cut and stacked the dead wood for firewood and cleaned the yard before leaving. I certainly recommend them!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Alexis an Ricardo were amazing! Always on time, put in long days to complete the job in a very timely manner. Always kept me informed on progress. They had to do almost a complete renovation in my bathroom and the result was very good. These brothers are listed as landscapers,but they can do it all. I am very satisfied with the end result."

"Charles and Lorenzo are first-rate, knowledgeable, hard-working professionals. We will have them taking care of our landscaping needs from now on. Charles and Lorenzo were friendly, courteous, and above all professional and efficient. I was very impressed in that after the job had been completed they were more than happy to offer suggestions and advice on how to maintain and take care of minor concerns not associated with the original agreement - talk about establishing goodwill with their clients. Because of the above-mentioned and the overall excellent quality of the work, I will be using High Country Landscaping on a permanent basis."

"Cesar showed up and started the work with this team within two hours of starting the project. Completed removal of two trees and made the yard look pristine as if that was the state within 3 hours. I can't imagine any other team getting this project done this efficiently. I highly recommend Cesar!!!"

"Amazing guys who are so considerate and kind. They installed my new AC unit and found a leak in my roof while they were doing it, one that I didn't know I had! They also spotted issues with my duct work and are working with me to repair them. They replaced my water heater as well! Truly compassionate, affordable and very timely. I wouldn't hire anyone else. They are capable of everything and I plan on using them for lots of repairs. Cannot recommend enough!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The best size rock for your landscaping depends on the design, as different boulders serve different purposes. If you want to group boulders to create a natural-looking cluster, you’ll need a range of sizes. Otherwise, here are some suggestions:

  • Small boulders (smaller than 12 inches across): Best for landscape edging and fire pits 

  • Medium boulders (12–24 inches): Best for retaining walls and water features

  • Large boulders (more than 24 inches): Best as standalone landscaping features, steps, or walkways.

Of course, you can mix and match sizes to create a unique display.

Monkey grass makes a beautiful, low-maintenance ground cover, particularly in shadier areas where other grasses don’t receive enough sunlight to grow. It’s also excellent for edging walkways, bordering flower beds, and accenting rock gardens. You can grow it as a container plant, as well, which is a perfect solution for those who love its foliage but want to contain the spread.

Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.

Yes, backyard landscaping and total-home landscaping add value to your home. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), high-quality landscape design has a 20 to 30 percent return on investment. So, when it comes time to sell your home, having a beautiful backyard landscaping oasis will increase your home’s value. 

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.
