Blue Stone Construction
Landscape Gardeners in San Marcos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 December 2019
“Hire them. Seriously. My husband is an engineer and it goes without saying, very detail oriented. Very. Our project was large and presented a lot of challenges but Tom and his team were on it. They paid attention to details and didn't cut corners. Workers came with a clear plan each day, showed up on time and worked hard. Tom and/or his project managers were on site every day, explaining what they were doing, what challenges they saw and what changes needed to be made (and believe me, that engineer husband of mine appreciated it). Above all, they are fair, kind, accommodating, responsive and very easy to work with. We've worked with many contractors and would have them back in a heartbeat.”

Gravel To Gold, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in San Marcos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 December 2018
“Gravel to Gold took on a large hardscaping and landscaping project at our 1940s bungalow in Pacific Beach. The work entailed removal of many truckloads of old grass and debris, and much tedious prep work to lay the foundations of a successful planting plan, including irrigation, LED lighting, and specific "obscuring" objectives. GtoG was the designer and general contractor, with the concrete work sub-ed out to a trusted contractor with many decades of experience. The final product is beyond expectations and was completed in almost exactly the predicted time. GtoG even re-did some of the work that to me was perfect, but that did not meet their very high standards. In the end we paid what we were told the cost would be to within just a few percent (there are always surprises in work like this), but the accuracy with regard to budget and timing is the best I've ever encountered by a wide margin. We would definitely use GtoG again, and in fact we are on our new project, a much bigger remodel of a 1920s Spanish-style house. Highest recommendation.”
Terra Group Landscape

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 November 2018
“We were very pleased with the way Terra Group worked with us to provide a wonderful landscape plan within our budget. They were very professional and explained what they were doing at every step and the final installation was beautiful. I am upgrading my earlier review of this business based on more recent experience with Terra Group. They are a small group and very busy, which is a great recommendation in itself,”

Better Place Remodeling
Landscape Gardeners in San Marcos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2022
“My wife and I were looking to have an old wooden covered patio replaced with a new one. Joe from better place remodeling came out for a free estimate. He was very friendly and explained every step in great detail. There was a small mishap during demo that Joe took care of immediately. They increased the patio size to 14’ wide from our old 12’. Such a difference it makes to have outdoor living space to read, relax, and get away from the kids. Joe was constantly in touch and even made some changes for us on the fly. I would highly recommend Better Place Remodeling if your looking for a patio as well Joe H. San Marcos”

As a general guideline, established plants with well-established root systems typically require watering once or twice a week, adjusting as needed depending how warm it is. Newly planted or seedlings may need more frequent watering for proper establishment. During hot and dry weather, plants may require additional watering to prevent drought stress, so monitoring soil moisture is important.

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the San Marcos, CA garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in San Marcos, CA will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features. You can think beyond the flora too, to patios, decking, sculptures, pathways, outdoor sculptures and all sorts of other garden supplies.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in San Marcos, CA?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in San Marcos, CA will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for a San Marcos, CA landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in San Marcos, CA that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire San Marcos, CA gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire San Marcos, CA gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some San Marcos gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
