"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 called me minutes after I posted the job. He came out to give a bid two hours later. He asked me questions to guarantee the pruning would be what I wanted. He was able to come today and complete the job. I already had a bid from another landscape company. Cesar and his crew did a great job, cleanup, this morning and also did it for substantially less than the other company had bid."

"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

While you can leave roots in the ground, if you don’t want the shrub to regrow again over time, it’s best not to leave any roots behind. Ensure you remove as much of the shrub as possible, including the root ball and any main roots you can see, to prevent new growth. Some gardeners opt for using a chemical treatment to prevent the stump from growing back, but this can kill beneficial microorganisms living in your soil.

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

There are several reasons your grass may be dying that could be in or out of your control. The most common issues include poor drainage, under/overwatering, poor soil pH, low soil nutrients, low sunlight, or too much foot traffic.

Determining how many boulders you’ll need for your landscaping project depends on the area you need to cover and how big each boulder is. First, you’ll need to determine how big of an area you want covered, then divide that by the base surface area of the boulders. A landscape professional can help you determine how many boulders will be right for your project.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.
