Why restore, as in remove, repurpose & resituate, your existing xeriscape gravel or stones? Because a mere 2.5 tons of newly delivered 1.5"-2" Arkansas river rock comes with the fine print disclaimer of a whopping "20% to 40%" fines (dirt). It's been a challenge to get much cleaner rock delivered from just about every industrial rock company in the county. If this is what is being installed atop your new w**d barrier, how long will it take for the w**ds to return to overrun your newly xeriscaped rock beds with this soil-laden advantage? As depicted here, my crew sifted out nearly 4 wheelbarrows of dirt from the aforementioned delivery: nearly 3/4 ton of unwanted dirt charged instead of actual rock. And, no, you can't just hose the rocks clean with this much dirt already in it once installed; w**d barrier is like a coffee filter, the dirt will remain.

Ephraim Cruz Landscaping ensures we blow your existing rocks clean before resituating their re-installation atop w**d barrier replacement.

Oh, yeah, I took the dirt right back to the distributor; not my dumping co$t. You betcha. 😉

Transitions to xeriscape after two costly full sod replacements on this sizable front lawn didn't take the past 5 years. First phases were creating a dry white cobblestone creek between neighbors (whose front yards I've also xeriscaped), a curbside perimeter with western river rock and a heart-shaped Arkansas river rock bed for future planting. The next phase will be to mulch the dying middle and add xeriscape plants. The healthier ends of the lawn under the tree and opposite side will remain...for now.

To transition to, install, restore, refresh, overhaul your xeriscape project within their existing/original landscape layouts, you can text me direct to 929-351-5467 with your name, address, landscaping needs & availability window for me to walk it through with you. I would relish the opportunity to lead handcrafting your projects.

Thank you for considering me to be of service to you.

*Cut out areas were the homeowners' design; I proffered the rock types for the respective areas for aesthetic continuity/balance, functionality and future refreshment/restoration efforts.

This evening picture in the shade doesn't do the plants justice, as they haven't "xeriscaped", yet, in roots, maturity & blossom, but just wait. In the interim, the Blanket Flowers & Yarrow plants command their respective flanks of the dry river rock creek.

*The homeowners provided their HOA-approved rendition but we made it out own within those parameters.

Backyard snake infestation no more. Not to mention, fire mitigation.

Full perimeter overhaul of this property in The Meadows within its original landscape layouts.

Backyard: all vegetation (trees, bushes, etc.) extracted; sod removed for medium nugget bark mulch; irrigation disengaged; edging replaced; all river rock removed, repurposed & resituated; and underlying w**d barrier replaced. A Herculean task, but it's what my self-imposed fall & winter landscaping bootcamps are all about. Not intimidated, nor overwhelmed by the task at hand. I know the feel of the work. I do the estimate, I lead the ex*****on.

Full perimeter residential overhaul (front & back): sod removal (front & back) with reinstall already in the front only (HOA rules 🤷); irrigation updated in the front, disabled for the back; most vegetation, including Aspen trees & numerous varied bushes extracted throughout; all rock beds being restored to replace underlying w**d barrier & edging, repurposing/resituating all river rock; breeze pathway to backyard removed. Property is being restored to simplicity with only planting in the front, but it'll be clean & snake rampant-free, again. Neighbors have commented on the sod renewal installment & thanked us for bringing the property into aesthetic alignment with its neighbors.

To overhaul, reset, restore, refresh your residential landscaping/xeriscaping within its original layouts & contours, text me direct to 929-351-5467 with your name, address, landscaping needs & availability window.
