They have transformed our front yard and we highly recommend them for any landscape or gardening projects.

"Patrick contacted me for an appointment. He showed up when promised and was very friendly. He explained his business and what type of work his company does. He is very professional and found our problem within an hour. We needed a new controller for our irrigation system and he said he could get one and install it the next day. Appointment at 4 P.M. he showed up at 3:30. Replaced the old controller with and explained how to program and set everything. if I ever need a Landscape Contractor I need not look any further, I will just call Central Cal Landscaping. Great company and Patrick is a true professional, he is highly recommended by us."

"The work was not to be performed in the area where the contractors serviced. They should not be charged for the referral as the work was 200 miles from my home. The work was near Redding not Pebble Beach. I did not make any request for work in PB"

"????? 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!"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Many experts say anytime before 10 a.m. is a good time to water grass, but this does depend a bit on the climate conditions where you live. For example, if you live in South Florida and it’s already 95 degrees by 7:30 a.m., it may simply be too hot to effectively water your lawn, regardless of what the time is.

It is not recommended to mow wet grass, including grass with morning dew. Mowing when wet can damage your lawn, your mower, and potentially cause injury. Wet grass blades are more likely to be torn rather than cut cleanly, which can lead to brown tips and increase the risk of fungal diseases. Additionally, wet clippings can clump together, smothering the grass underneath, and can clog your mower. For best results, wait until the grass is dry to the touch, which is often about two hours after morning dew has evaporated. Regular lawn mower maintenance is also important for a clean cut.

Sometimes, pulling nutgrass can cause it to spread. If you do not discard the plant and rhizomes, the nutlets attached to the roots may each sprout. However, if you pull nutgrass repeatedly over the course of several weeks and discard the plant each time, it will weaken the plant significantly, eventually leading to its disappearance.

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.
