"Excellent job. They came out and gave me ideas, provided a plan and an estimate. Work done turned out great. Three of the smaller plants did not look healthy after about 4 months and the promptly replaced them. Would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"Have used them twice since moving in several years ago. Second time was because I’d redone the back yard so needed to redo the lighting there. Brent and his crew did a great job at a reasonable price. They came when they said they would and cleaned up nicely when they were done. Highly recommend them for landscape lighting and putting in security lighting. Haven’t used them for holiday lighting but have seen some of their work and also recommend for anyone needing such."

"We had an excellent experience with RDZ Landscaping. We communicated what services we wanted and the guys came out and ran through these items and left our yard with that curbside appeal. They mentioned other services that may be needed in the future ie mulch, weed control, power washing with prices so that we know what to expect if and when we decide to add those services. RDZ team arrived on our scheduled date and treated our landscaping as if it was their own. RDZ was very easy to reach, open to the questions I had followed by recommendations. Glad I found a group that I can rely and trust on with my house and poolside landscaping."

"We had some work done by Espino concrete Solution and I have to say I was impressed with a job well done. The owner of the company was very professional and is very knowledgeable of his work. Kept in contact with me and made sure we were in complete agreement with the job that needed to be done. When the job was done, the area was left very clean. And organized. I highly recommend for any of your concrete jobs. JOlmos"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

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.

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.

Yes, you can hydroseed with a garden hose, but you’ll need a tank or other large vessel for mixing the slurry, then a pump to send the slurry through the hose for spraying. Making your own hydroseeding unit can work, but it’s not usually worth the effort and supplies unless you already have them.

If shade is a priority for you, then panting elm trees is a fine choice. A full mature elm tree has enough aesthetic appeal for some folks that it could add value to your home. 

That said, never plant elm trees too close to your home, sewer line, or sidewalks, as their roots can damage these, which can lead to costly repairs.
