"Ken was very prompt coming out and giving us a quote when we inquired on Angie's list. Ken and team came out and removed the old lawn rototilled, and got our sprinklers working. He setup the sprinklers on a timer and everything looked beautiful. A couple days later we noticed a leak coming out from the ground near one of the risers. I called Ken and he came out the same day. He found the source of the leak and fixed it. This all happened on a weekend. We were impressed with his dedication to make sure we were satisfied. I recommend Ken to anyone needing landscape services at a reasonable price."

"I am a property manager and needed someone to clean gutters and downspouts for my rental properties. They answered my inquiry promptly, showed up on time, and were very reasonable on the amount charged. I was so impressed, I have hired them to take care of other items that need to be done. You will not be disappointed in their quality of work performed."

"We highly recommend Premium Landscape. Peter came over and got our backyard irrigation running. An old valve at the water source was stuck, preventing water from reaching the irrigation valves. Peter got it running and then checked the coverage of our lawn irrigation. Noticing the pressure seemed a little low, he adjusted it at the main pressure regulator. Now it's all working fine. We'll definately be contacting him again for future projects."

"Vinny’s Landscaping did a superb job on our property at a very competitive price. This is a professional team with a manager with 30 years in the business. They built a new patio of pavers with a cemented surround and replaced the backyard “lawn” that was suffering from erosion and gofers. In the front, they created a dry stream bed to complement a cactus garden and added a beautiful wall to set the display off from the sidewalk and street. I plan to call Vinny’s Landscaping for any future work we need."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

You free up your weekends, as pros often conduct mowing and maintenance efficiently and without disrupting your schedule.

Yes, it's common for lawns to look bare after dethatching. Dethatching brings soil to the surface to create a "bald" look on your lawn. While you may choose to patch or reseed your lawn if bare patches seem excessive, it's normal for a lawn to look bare after dethatching. With the layer of debris that was blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching your grass now gone, your lawn is likely to grow better than ever.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.

As a beginner, start by mowing your lawn in symmetrical rows by turning the mower at the end of each row and overlapping with the previous row. Use an edging tool or weedwacker to make your lawn look sharp and crisp around the edges, and then sweep the debris back into the yard. Take it slow, and know that you can adjust your approach or pattern the next time your grass needs a clip.

During normal temperatures, you should mow about once per week. However, if your grass is distressed by extreme heat, you should avoid mowing it altogether. Wait until after an irrigation session or rainfall. That way, your grass will be good and hydrated before you mow. Remember, you should not mow the grass when it’s wet. Wait until it dries first.
