"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."

"Thank you for the beautiful job with my yard, roof, an gutters. I highly recommend you and your team for the professional work and very reasonable prices. You went the extra mile removing leaves and stump, and putting down weed barrier before adding the bark chips. I love the color. I loved the price."

"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!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Cut your lawn a bit shorter before the winter, typically between 2 and 2½ inches, depending on the variety of grass. On average, the best height to cut grass typically falls between 2 and 3 inches throughout the year. Aim for the shorter side of this range when you mow for the last time of the year to avoid common winter lawn diseases and moisture issues.

Yes, watering after you level a lawn is essential. Water helps settle the soil, eliminating air pockets and encouraging the newly-applied topdressing to bond with the existing surface. Adequate watering aids in achieving a smoother and more even lawn surface. However, be sure to avoid overwatering, which could lead to soil erosion or compaction issues.

Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can save time and money on lawn maintenance by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you.

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

Yes, many services provide preseason checks and winterizing to ensure year-round efficiency.
