"Memorial Day Weekend Nightmare: The week before Memorial Day, I hired Dave's Tree Service to trim the trees in my front-yard. He guaranteed me there would be three very experienced tree trimmers and two would be 'tree-climbers'. The project should be done in about 5 hours - give or take an hour. I said OK. However, on Weds May 23, when Dave arrived at my home, he only dropped one tree-climber and a handyman [both the tree climber and handyman were only recently hired] and the handy man had no real tree trimming experience. Let me say at the start of this review, the two workers are both good men and this review is not a reflection on them. When Dave was about to drive away [to work on other jobs] …. I asked where are the other workers? He responded they would be here shortly…. they never showed up. I'm paying HOURLY for a tree trimming project that includes three experienced tree climbers/trimmers and only one shows up and the owner disappears to work on other jobs with the meter running and my bill mounting. Quickly it became apparent the tree-climber did not have all the proper equipment to climb the trees. And I felt his safety was in question. In addition the handy man had to borrow some of my tools to start cutting branches. Throughout this ordeal I'm in constant contact with Dave and it one excuse after another, Though Wednesday was a disaster, Dave said he’d have the full crew at my house bright and early on Thursday... but I needed to pay him approx. $1,000 for the work done on Wednesday. My yard was a complete catastrophe and I need to get this project done. He had backed me into a corner... so I paid him the money. Thursday morning, NO ONE SHOWED UP! So... Dave says he’ll have a FULL CREW at my house on Friday. And they’ll get the project done on Friday no matter how long it takes. Come Friday, again only the tree climber and handy man show up. And the tree climber has to leave at 10:30 am for a doctor appointment... he never returned that day. Dave basically says; 'oh well...they’ll be back next Tuesday'. After six days [which should have been one], on Tuesday, May 29, three guys finally showed up and they cleaned up what was left. There were still trees needing to be trimmed but I just wanted them out of there. It cost me 'an arm and a leg’ for this nightmare. Let me say, this is an abbreviated version and I do have many more details. Fortunately, I took copious notes w/ videos in case I needed to go to court. If you hire Dave’s Tree Service, I suggest you be prepared to do the same."

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.
Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design.
While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.
Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.
Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
