"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 would like to giver V & M an A+++! Veronica and Oscar are fantastic to work with. They went over the plans with us and were very flexible with any changes we wanted to make. The final outcome is just beautiful. They made this whole project so easy. You will be so happy with them. They are very talented and knowledgeable with plants and materials. They also repurposed materials like river rocks from the parking strip to make a beautiful dry riverbed in the old lawn area. New stone facia was placed over the old, tired looking brick. They planted a beautiful variety of plants and 2 trees. The parking strip also came out great! I can't say enough good things about Veronica and Oscar. I am now looking around to see what other projects we can tackle together!!"

"Velasco Landscaping did an amazing job installing pavement at my property! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the finished pavement looks fantastic—clean lines, solid craftsmanship, and it’s built to last. They were respectful of the space, cleaned up thoroughly after the job, and completed everything on time. I highly recommend Velasco Landscaping for anyone looking for top-notch paving work and reliable service. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"I had an amazing experience with Nextera Landscape Solutions. I spoke to Noe and requested a quote and received a quote within minutes. I asked how quickly they could start and a worker was able to come out within hours. My sprinkler system was a mess and multiple sprinkler heads were broken and many parts of my lawn wasn’t being watered at all. As a result, much of my lawn had died. Miguel assessed my entire system and found remedies to ensure my entire lawn was watered. I’m getting ready to seed the lawn, so I am over the moon happy with the work Miguel did and Noe was extremely easy to work with as well. I would definitely work with them again."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Mowing your grass regularly, especially if you’re mowing close to the ground, can help kill Johnsongrass. Frequent mowing helps limit the spread of Johnsongrass and can even deplete carbohydrate reserves in rhizomes over time. The more time you leave in between mowing, the more likely Johnsongrass is to regrow and take over your lawn. 

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.

Carpetgrass is distinguishable by its pale green to yellowish color and coarse appearance that grows well under shady conditions in poor and compact soils. If it grows uncontrolled, it tends to develop a hairy seedhead, giving patches of grass a messy appearance. If carpetgrass is regularly cut, it looks very similar to centipedegrass and St. Augustine grass, and people may confuse them. Carpetgrass blades are flat and rounded at the tip. Note that the grass only typically grows as a weed in Southern states.

You can mow the grass when it’s dry to the touch, usually between 2 and 5 hours if it was a light rainfall or morning dew. If the rainfall was significant, you may need to wait up to 2 days until the grass is dry. Touch the grass and soil to determine if it’s dry. Be sure to check in shady areas too, as those can take longer to dry out.

Longer lengths are always better for striping, so mowing your grass to between 2½ to 4 inches tall. More length allows for optimal bendiness, plus it helps your lawn stay healthier, too. Remember, never mow more than ⅓ of the grass height at once to keep your lawn looking green and healthy.
