"Josue, the owner of Crest Landscape is wonderful. He listens to what you want and anything is possible. He reassured me when I had difficulty with my fountain and said “no problem we will get it running” and running indeed he did. I will be using Josue to create my backyard into a sanctuary for me with my fountain as the centerpiece. He is personable and professional. Call him before he gets too busy. Excellent service.

"What a wonderful experience working with Welcome Home Landscape and Lawn Care. A tree company had unexpectedly taken down a eucalyptus tree, destroying my back fence, leaving a glaring view of my neighbors and creating a crisis for me and my three dogs. Ken from Welcome Home walked the land with me and we brainstormed together. He was kind and understanding, had great ideas for what we could do, and together we developed a plan in several stages that I truly believe will make a big difference. He recommended a fencing company that came out right away. We put in a deer fence that is such an improvement. Then Ken came and cleared the debris from the land, leaving a forest floor of light mulch from the leaves. The land has never looked better. Our next stage is to plant. I so look forward to working more and seeing it all flourish. I feel truly blessed to have found this company and worked with Ken. And my dogs are happy too."

FAQs for landscape yard or garden installation projects in Oakland, CA

Well-maintained trees can add significant value to your property. Mature trees enhance curb appeal, provide shade, improve energy efficiency, and can increase property values by up to 10%. They also offer privacy, reduce noise pollution, and create a more inviting outdoor space, making your home more attractive to potential buyers.

The fastest-growing tree species include alder, rowan, silver birch, willow, cypress, and poplar. However, it’s best to consult with an arborist to choose trees that will thrive in your area, as they’re affected by climate. Otherwise, their growth may be stunted, and the trees may die. To reach their growth potential, trees need high-quality, nutrient-rich soil, ample space, and the right amount of water.

You should plant trees in the spring for the best chance at root development and recovery. Spring provides ample moisture and moderate temperatures, reducing the risk of transplant shock. While fall planting is possible, spring conditions are more likely to produce healthier trees, leading to thriving growth and a stronger root system.

Tree maturity significantly affects planting outcomes. Young trees take longer to mature but recover from transplanting with minimal root damage. Mature trees provide immediate benefits like shade, fruit, and improved curb appeal but may be more challenging to transplant. Consult a professional arborist to choose the right tree for your landscape goals.

A five-gallon tree is one grown in a five-gallon container, indicating a compact root ball and smaller size. These trees typically grow two to six feet tall, making them a manageable, cost-effective option. They also transplant easily and establish quickly with proper care, making them ideal for homeowners seeking immediate landscape improvement.

Tree costs vary significantly by species and size. Smaller, common species like a Colorado spruce may cost as little as $30, while ornamental and shade trees are often more expensive due to their size and planting complexity. The larger the tree, the higher your labor and transport fees will be, raising overall costs.
