"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."

"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."

Customers say: True professional

"My fence had blown down in a recent storm and I didn't want my dogs getting out. All American came out promptly and gave me a quote that day and started the following Monday. The service was very well done and completed in one day. The owner was very polite and easy to work with. I am looking forward to them coming out and pressure washing my patio and decks. I would recommend this service."

"????? I can?t recommend Jimmy highly enough! He has helped me with numerous projects at my seaside home, from a major cleanup to building a greenhouse, and everything in between. His work has consistently been excellent, and he?s proven himself to be incredibly hardworking, efficient, dependable, and trustworthy. One of the things I appreciate most about Jimmy is the peace of mind that comes with knowing I can trust him to get things done right, even when I?m not there to oversee the work. He takes initiative, follows through, and genuinely cares about doing a great job. Beyond his work ethic and abilities, Jimmy is simply a great guy?friendly, honest, and a pleasure to work with. Finding someone with his combination of skills, integrity, and reliability is rare. I?m grateful to have found him and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly count on!"

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.
