"I had a rather small project for a retaining wall, and Perez Landscaping was perfect for the task. Ramiro the owner answered my request on Sunday, came out to scope the project on Monday, and had it done by Wednesday! That’s kind of unheard of these days for landscape projects. Ramiro and his team were so nice, so efficient, and didn’t damage any of my landscaping in the process. Price was very fair and the result was just what I was looking for. Thank you Perez Landscaping, I will definitely call them again if I need a project done (they do fences, too!). And thanks to Anji for their help in finding these guys - gives a level of safety to me knowing they’ve been checked out!"
"I am so happy that I picked On Deck to landscape my front and back yards! Douglas came up with a beautiful design that was far better than any other landscaper had provided to me. His crew did an awesome job and they finished it on schedule. Douglas was very responsive and communicated very well. I always felt like he listened to what I wanted and he took pride in his work. I would highly recommend On Deck Fence and Landscaping to anyone!"
"El Reyo Landscape did an excellent job. The workmanship on the paver installation is very impressive. The job was completed to my satisfaction with no hassles. I will continue to use this company for future projects."
"Lawn Express is great to work with. They listened carefully to what we wanted and then helped create the perfect design for our back yard. The final outcome was beautiful and they have been there for us over the years as we have added, modified or needed service."
"I could not have higher praise! I reached out to them on a Tuesday morning and that afternoon they had come over, provided a quote and started/finished the job on Thursday. I was having 47ft of fencing replaced and I am so thankful for the quality and quick response - it’s beautiful. I plan on doing more landscape work with them with year."
"Highly recommended. Excellent service, show up on time. Best price in town & the hardest workers I've seen. The best company I've ever worked with for my landscaping. Great attention to detail, very emulate with keeping grounds & the surrounding areas clean."
"Pure Magic!! That’s how they handled my new wrought iron fence installation. They built a custom jig so they could bend the rails to match the radius of the sidewalk on my corner lot. All the posts and rails are perfectly straight and level with self closing gates too. Very quick and clean work supported by competent and professional office staff made for a very pleasing experience. I’ll hire Enterprise Landscaping for all my future landscaping needs."
"Excellent job!! Ed knew exactly what to do. He installed all the landscaping in my back yard within two days and it is absolutely gorgeous. Ed also stepped in and assisted me finishing a deck which another contractor had abandoned. I have already recommend Ed to our HOA as well as neighbors and friends."
The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”
Monkey grass isn’t too picky when it comes to light conditions: It needs sun but prefers partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun, it thrives in environments with partial shade (around four to six hours of sunlight per day). The black mondo grass variety is the most tolerant of heat from direct sunlight.
Grass is the most popular and safest option for planting over a septic drain field, but you can also plant small flowering plants and other lightweight plants that don’t have woody or deep roots. Avoid trees and bushes within 10 feet of the field, as the woody roots can crack the perforated pipes. You should also avoid planting vegetable or fruit gardens over your drain field, as a leak from the pipes could contaminate the soil and put anyone who eats the produce at risk.
There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.
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.
