"The customer rep was friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. The price estimate was on par with other landscapers and sadly did not use the service since we had another company come out to winterize our lawn. I definitely do recommend people to call Dos Amigos especially with the great customer service."

"Eric and his guys did a great job. First thing I noticed is Eric is extremely responsive and prompt. Second thing is he explained everything in depth with options. Finally the job itself was great. I had a backyard that had pretty much turned into a mess from mud and poor drainage. Water would just sit for weeks on end to the point that it would start to stink. He made several drainage adjustments to my back yard to include installing a french drain and then I had a hardscape patio installed in place of the the constant sloppy mud I have had for years. The finished product was great I certainly would give it 5 stars and recommend him."

"It was delightful working with Mike. He responded to my initial inquiry promptly and came out within days to look at and estimate the job. He offered several solutions to our drainage/erosion problem. He answered our endless questions patiently and professionally. Basically everything he said happened. Which is pretty refreshing. He started the project, arrived when he said he would finished as planned. He and Bruce were quite neat and organized during the process, it was impressive. Mike goes above and beyond in his workmanship he just knows the right thing to do and we really appreciate the extra care he gave to our home. He seeded part of our yard that used to be a gravel driveway and it looks amazing! I highly recommend Mike, wouldn’t consider anyone else."

""Misa" and his crew took on a clean-up and reclamation of our two acre property and did a tremendous job. They had the equipment and expertise to get a range of projects done around the property. He and his crew are skilled. Also, Misa is a great guy, the kind you want to do business with. We have arranged for future work with him and so, can definitely recommend Misael Guevara Landscaping services."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

Pavers are one of the most affordable methods of creating an elevated outdoor space. Gravel is an equally affordable alternative. If your budget permits, you can look into building a permeable driveway to ensure proper drainage. Grid pavers, pervious concrete, brick, and brick pavement are all effective materials. Permeable driveways are great options, especially if you live in an area with heavy rainstorms.

If you choose to leave gaps between your pavers, you can grow some ground cover plants between them for an organic feel. Look for plants such as creeping thyme, dymondia, jewel mint of Corsica, or clover.

Many people have used old tires in gardens as raised beds, planters, tree rings, and DIY decor. However, these uses are not recommended due to the toxicity of many of the chemicals used to manufacture tires. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water as the tire breaks down, creating environmental pollution and health hazards for gardeners and their families.

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.
