"Appears very professional, never showed up and had to rescheduled. Gave me discount for the inconvenience. They did the treatment from the outside. However, my master bathroom where the termite originated from and very much destroyed the wood etc. I have been asking to Robbie and Zack if they did the treatment for master bathroom from the inside. Robbie, try to reschedule but I have no answer. Called the office, still waiting. It has been over two weeks. I would not recommend them to anyone. My service was handled by Prescott office."

"I live in Moreno Apartment homes in Scottsdale and have had an insect problem mostly nats for over 6 weeks they're everywhere in the house even the refrigerator we had over 40 nats in with our food, disgusting. Burns has come out 3 times now and spent a total of 5 minutes each time total from walking in the door to leaving, yeah real thorough Arizona needs to google what bedside manners are or even how to communicate without having the very first thing from drs, pest control people tell you we can't do that, I can,t help you.

"Kazi and his team did an amazing job with stepping stones, Sedona red rock, and boulders to cover the bocce court area in our backyard. His communication was fantastic, and they both started and finished the job much sooner than originally expected. Most of our potted plants are covered for the winter, and we will be excited to uncover them in the spring in their beautiful new environment. We love our backyard design now and are looking forward to working with Landscape Magic in the future on our front yard also."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Technically, yes—and you may have some successful growth—but this isn’t the ideal way to fill in sparse areas. By clearing leaves and debris, amending the soil, and aerating it properly before you lay the seeds, you’re providing the most ideal conditions for them to germinate.

A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and dull lawn mower blades can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. 

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.

The best time to top dress your lawn depends on what type of grass you have and what climate you live in. Cool-season grass should be top dressed in late fall, while warm-season grass should be top dressed in late spring.

The best fertilizer for early spring is an organic slow-release fertilizer that sets up your lawn for continued good health and vigorous growth throughout the whole growing season. If your lawn is particularly neglected or has specific issues, you may need an application of quick-release fertilizer alongside a slow-release one for an immediate boost.
