"I hired him to do a large yard (about 1/3 acre) cleanup and removal of all debris, some trimming of bushes. Great work, started early, finished early, professional, and thorough. Will hire him in the future for other projects. Able to do more than yard 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."

"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

Most junk removal services don’t take hazardous materials, including paint, gasoline, bleach, and other chemicals. When gathering quotes, ask the company about its specific restrictions.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.

Yes, you can absolutely make your own mulch, and there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can lay down pine needles or mulched leaves if you’re mulching in the fall. In the spring and summer, you can use mulched grass clippings. Alternatively, you can lay down a few layers of newspaper in your garden and gently wet the paper to keep it in place.
