"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."

"Alex is very thorough and takes pride in his work. He maintains my yards to keep them looking as good as possible. I would definitely recommend him to do anything related to landscaping and irrigation systems. Alex shows up for every job too, not just his hired help. That makes a difference to me."

"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!!!"

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

You should exercise care when deciding how to landscape over a leach field for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won’t damage the drain field’s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.

The best type of rock for landscaping depends on your specific project and needs, as different rocks are suited for different applications. For covering large areas or creating an affordable driveway, consider gravel, but note that it can wash away in flowing water. For water features, river rocks are a good option. Flagstone and cobblestone are ideal for aesthetically pleasing patios and walkways. If you are building a stone wall, fieldstone or small boulders are up to the task. Large boulders and landscape rocks work well as statement pieces, to fill empty space, or to indicate boundaries, but be mindful that they can overwhelm smaller gardens. The best approach is to first define your landscaping project and then select the rock type that best fits that purpose.

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

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.
