"My yard had a lot of weeds. They came to work at my house immediately. They started working as soon as they arrived. They check the smallest detail so that their work will be excellent. They start and finish working very quickly. Everyone works as a team to provide the best service you can find. When they finish, they make sure before leaving that the work is to your liking. Every movement you want to make, they do it for you and they don't move from there until you are completely sure that you like it that way. They are a team of wonderful workers."

"Fredy and his crew are professional, communicative, and thorough. Most important to me, they approach working with trees carefully and lovingly. Our giant palm looks like a new tree! I was worried about having this work done because the tree is such a special part of our home. The crew did a fabulous job and cleaned all the many fronds so well that you wouldn't have known the yard had been full of them during the trimming process. I highly recommend MC Landscapes."

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

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.

Burning yard waste can be an efficient method for large amounts. However, burning has health and environmental risks. Smoke can aggravate respiratory conditions, expose you to carbon monoxide, and cause irritation. Fire produces greenhouse gases and may start wildfires. Minimize risks by burning clean, dry, natural materials. Stay upwind and monitor the fire closely.

It’s often not necessary to clean up rocks before you sell or donate them, although it’s a nice gesture. Cleaning the rocks you’re getting rid of probably isn’t worthwhile if you’re selling a large volume of small rocks, but if you’re selling or donating large boulders for landscape design, a quick clean might fetch more money or help out the donation center.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

If you want to take the decomposition process into your hands to speed it up, water and sunlight are key. Of course, you can’t control sunlight yourself, but you can rake leaves into piles in sunny spots in your yard. In terms of using water, you can also moisten the decomposing leaves with water, whether by pouring some from a watering can from time to time or using a hose to moisten them.
