"Ken and Emily were responsive to our needs. They came quickly and were able to troubleshoot our problem. They also checked our entire sprinkling system and gave us recommendations for our yard. They cleaned the area that they worked in and made it good as new. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Considering changing our gardener to their service. AAA rating!!"

"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."

"5 stars Daniel was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable about sprinkler systems. He responded within 24 hours of my quote request and not only solved the original issue but also repaired a nearby sprinkler head at no extra charge. I highly recommend Soto Garden Tree Landscaping for any sprinkler troubles!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

You should not water your lawn every day, even in hot weather. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. It is best to water during a drought or when temperatures are high, but avoid watering in the middle of the day or if the temperature exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) when the temperature is cooler.

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.

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.

How often you should maintain your yard depends on your climate and what season it is. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a lawn height of three inches.

Water your yard a little more deeply after a drought for about two weeks (while still avoiding overwatering). Continue to water in the early morning hours before 10 a.m. You'll also want to invest in some high-quality fertilizer to get more nutrients to your roots and help them grow back stronger and quicker. Look up your grass and soil type, or do a soil test, to see what type of fertilizer you need.
