"Jesus arrived for free estimate, and after seeing the scope of work was available to being the project the same day. This was a general spring cleaning (leaf removal, hedge shrub trimming, weeding of bark covered yard areas, and the 3 workers were able to get through this in just over 1.5 hours. The work was fast, efficient, and exactly what we needed!"

"I have found Rodriguez Landscape Service to be reliable and knowledgeable with excellent customer service. Gardeners have conscientiously worked at turning a somewhat overgrown yard into a neat, tidy, enjoyable garden again. The irrigation crew kept working on a faulty system until it finally seems to be working efficiently and effectively. In addition Raul and his crew are helpful, friendly and listen attentively when I share garden needs. I am very pleased and will continue to have Rodriguez Landscape Service maintain my yard monthly."

"I hired Falcon Landscape for roof cleaning and weed removal. To their credit, the actual work was done carefully and the results looked good. The roof cleaning was thorough, and the yard was cleared effectively. The estimate for the work itself also seemed fair and reasonable. However, the experience was impacted by how cleanup and disposal were handled. After removing a large volume of weeds, they did not take the debris with them and instead asked me to dispose of it in my own trash bins. This resulted in over 15 bags of yard waste, which did not fully fit, and when they ran out of bags, they left the remaining weeds piled in the middle of my backyard. When I questioned this, I was told disposal was not included in the contract and would cost an additional $200. While I understand contract terms, weed removal in my experience includes disposal. This lack of upfront clarity felt misleading.Overall, decent work quality, but disappointing handling of cleanup and communication"

There were a few spots that I was not satisfied with and he willingly redid them. I am very happy that everything looks so clean. Emmanuel is very conscientious and does excellent work. Very nice working with him."

"Leo did a great job on our yard clean-up project at a good price. Excellent communication skills which was helpful as this was all done remotely on a second home where I was not present at all for the whole job. This involves a certain amount of trust that the job was done right and Leo sent good pictures of a job well done and there was no hesitation on my part to send the agreed upon payment. He was also very prompt and got the job done quickly within a short window of opportunity. I will looking to set up regular long term yard service with Leo."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

The legality of blowing leaves into the street depends on your city or county laws. Many cities have codes that restrict blowing leaves into the street because it can obstruct the view of nearby drivers and make cars dirty, not to mention angering neighbors. Violations can result in a fine or other problems. You can check the codes on your municipal government website to learn more local guidelines, but avoid spraying leaves into streets for now.

Most housekeepers won’t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like carpet shampooing, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It’s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you’re on the same page.

As we know, leaving dog poop on your lawn can cause patching and even death of your grass. But, even if your yard is hardscaped, leaving dog poop lying around is unhygienic and smelly, and it’s an invitation for kids to trail it into the house on the soles of their shoes.

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

  • Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn. 

  • Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment. 

  • Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.
