"David's Landscaping did a great job in the cleanup of my front yard and backyard. On time, efficient, and easy to communicate with. Will be hiring him and his services again, as needed. I have already recommended him to other in need of the same work."

"The work including the in-person estimate was completed within a 10 day period. Originally, I hired New Earth to change out the backyard control box for sprinkler. At the time I received a quote for setting up a drip sprinkler system for the front yard, which I pursued. All was completed within 10 days period. Experienced fast communication and good work. Would definitely recommend New Earth for sprinkler installation."

"I hired Adolfo to work on my mother's yard. He did an amazing job taking my design and adding his own touches to create what she calls her "oasis"! He went over and beyond to get everything detail right. The final design was much better than I dreamed. He is so patient and hard working. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for someone who can take their yard to another level."

"Daniel and Blanca are an amazing team! Together, they worked on two great projects and provided excellent recommendations and service. I had interviewed different companies to prune my two trees. Their effort and lack of interest made a huge impression on me. They just did not care. So different with Daniel and Blanca! They are thoughtful, kind and so hard working. I look forward to building my dream yard with Soto Landscaping."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

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.  

Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.

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.

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.

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.
