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."

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 optimal time to tackle thorn bush removal is during late fall or winter when the bushes are dormant. The plants are less active during this time of year, making it easier to prune and remove. Additionally, you can more easily see what you’re cutting since there are no leaves.

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.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.

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.

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.
