"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

"I interviewed six companies regarding backyard renovation and I am so happy that I chose Yosi and Rainforest L.A. They transformed our backyard into a relaxing oasis. We were astonished at the transformation. Yosi was so easy to work with, very calm, professional, excellent communication, easy to reach.Yosi provided a detailed bid the very same day we met. He answered all of my questions politely. Yosi's team were friendly, professional, creative, hardworking, and they left our yard spotless every day. We have used many contractors over the years and Rainforest L.A. was the best."

"I hired Erix with LA Landscape & Sprinkler Pros to completely redo my irrigation setup, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. He installed a mix of drip irrigation and pop-up sprinklers throughout the yard, and it’s made a huge difference already. The coverage is much more even, everything runs efficiently, and the installation was done neatly and professionally. What I appreciated most was how thorough and knowledgeable he was throughout the whole process. He walked me through the best setup for the different plants and lawn areas, suggested a few smart adjustments to help save water, and made sure everything was working properly before wrapping up. It never felt rushed, and you could tell he actually cared about doing the job right. The yard already looks healthier, and the whole system feels much more updated and reliable. Erix was professional, easy to communicate with, and great to work with from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing irr"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

The best way to clean artificial turf is to use a stiff-bristled broom or rake to loosen up any large debris once a week. The process will also redistribute the infill material that keeps your turf blades standing up straight and evenly. For artificial turf maintenance, do not vacuum your turf or apply cleaning solutions. If you need to rinse the blades, spritz them with a light hose. 

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.
