"Great. They arrived at my home early, went right to work, checked that all watering zones are operational, advised on the seasonal dormant plants in yard, completed the job, and advised on the watering system settings. Reasonably priced as well!"
"Alex is a wonderful young man and extremely trust worthy. That made all the difference in my section to hire him. He keeps me informed of the work he is doing each visit. He discusses in advance any suggestions he has and makes sure it is approved before he moves forward. He is now helping maintain my yards on a monthly basis. He does full yard services for me, from weed control and removal, to bush/hedge trimming, and eventually will be helping with keeping the gutters clean. I have even paid in and ace before the work had been done and was never concerned that Alex would not complete the work. Alex had always kept his word. He is very communicative, if he is unable to make our originally scheduled date. I am very happy and appreciative for all he does for us. You cannot go wrong hiring him to help you too!"
"The crew came in and build a 100’ interlocking wall/dirt control. It was tough work but it turned out beautifully. Super sturdy and completely level. Super impressive. I attended to upload a picture but got a pop up saying the file was too large- it’s just a pic!!!!!! Highly recommend for any and all projects"
"Mike Settle was great at listening to what I needed to be done. He was very knowledgeable about my tree problems and saved a few that I thought were gone. He was very thorough in dealing with the long overdue yard cleanup and shrub trimming leaving me with a pristine yard. When we ran into irrigation problems he had great solutions and quickly got the trench work done with new pipe and lines in before the heat impacted my plants. He was always thoughtful, knowledgeable, honest and kind in all his dealings with me and also very responsive to texts or phone calls."
Mushrooms do not harm your yard. In fact, they can actually help improve your lawn health by decomposing woody organic matter in your soil, and breaking it down into nutrients that feed your grass and plants.
The best way to landscape your front yard on a budget is to invest in hiring a professional for hardscaping—things like upgrading walkways, redoing driveways, and installing partitions around garden beds. You can often do the softscaping yourself—think laying down mulch, caring for your lawn, removing weeds, and planting flowers and shrubs. It’s also almost always worthwhile to pay a professional for routine yard maintenance, as this dramatically improves curb appeal and delivers above 100% ROI in most cases.
Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.
If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.
If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.
