"In May 2017 we hired AZ NativeScapes to landscape our townhouse back yard, which was originally nothing but boring gravel. These photos were taken right after work was completed; the plants have grown a LOT since then, and now it's quite the paradise out there. Work included pavers on the patio and extended two feet past the concrete pad, a new paver walkway from the gate down to the driveway, a half wall to hide the trash cans (which blends in perfectly with the back wall - you'd never know it wasn't original), leveling and reshaping the yard, moving boulders to better locations, new gravel for the yard, an artificial turf area, new plantings, and an irrigation system. Quality of the work was fantastic, and Craig and his crew were so easy to deal with. They worked quickly and were done with everything in a couple of days. July 2022 update: the irrigation system started acting up - wasn't running the whole programmed time, then stopped turning on at all. Christian came out and did some troubleshooting to figure out the problem, then replaced the valve solenoid at no charge. How's that for service, five years after the original job! If you need any kind of landscaping done, AZ NativeScapes just has to be your first call. We love the work they did transforming our yard into a place we enjoy every day."

"Jose did an exceptional job!! I contacted Jose and he called me back right away. I needed my yard cleaned up and was also looking for someone to do our monthly maintenance. He had an opening the same week to get the cleanup done so I was very pleased he could work me in so fast. After seeing what a great job Jose did on the yard clean up, I hired Jose that day to come back and do the monthly maintenance. He showed up today like he said he would and not only did he do an amazing job on the yard maintenance, he fixed my irrigation system that hadn’t been working for months. I really appreciated this. Thank You Jose!!"

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

Burning yard waste can be an efficient method for large amounts. However, burning has health and environmental risks. Smoke can aggravate respiratory conditions, expose you to carbon monoxide, and cause irritation. Fire produces greenhouse gases and may start wildfires. Minimize risks by burning clean, dry, natural materials. Stay upwind and monitor the fire closely.

In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
