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 LA Landscape and Sprinkler Pros for some light front yard landscaping and to remove two old tree stumps in the backyard. Their team was fantastic. They were super fast, efficient, and respectful of the neighbors, which I really appreciated. The front yard looks like a brand new yard and refreshed without being overdone, and the stump removal was handled quickly without any mess left behind. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality work and professional service. Five stars!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.

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.  

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.

Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to remove the moss immediately to prevent damage.

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.
