"Fantastic! My lawns are beautiful because of the way they cut the grass plus sweep up the bits of grass on the sidewalks. Many times they will cut the top of a huge Bush that is nicely cleaned then. Also, he is on time each week!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from John Wilson Landscaping and Gardening. From the very first consultation, John was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about transforming outdoor spaces. He listened carefully to my ideas and offered creative suggestions that truly elevated the final design. The team was punctual, respectful, and worked efficiently throughout the entire project. Every detail—from the lawn to the flower beds and stone pathways—was executed with precision and care. The end result completely exceeded my expectations. My garden looks absolutely stunning now, and I’ve received so many compliments from friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and truly dedicated to their craft, I highly recommend John Wilson Landscaping and Gardening. You won’t be disappointed!"

"I had really lit my side yard and backyard go. There was a lot of junk including old moldy carpeting, two old broken down recliners, patio furniture, tree trimmings, rotten apples, and sidewalks so overgrown with shrubbery you couldn’t walk through there. All the flower beds were covered with dead grass and weeds. I just want it all the junk removed but Kevin Sanchez said his crew could do that but they could also straighten up my gardens and make it look pretty again. I was skeptical, but I liked his vibe so I hired them. I couldn’t have been more shocked when I saw that not only was all the junk gone trees were trimmed and the flowerbeds had been restored and rejuvenated with freshly turned over topsoil. and it was a great value. Kevin brought his team and they attacked my backyard with fervor and it was obvious they were there to get the job done with the least hassle possible. They even checked with me on a couple of items to make sure I really wanted to get rid of it.I appreciate"

Customers say: True professional

"Cornejo Landscaping installed turf and border stones in our backyard. The installation was detailed with curves and bends for natural look using border stones and DG for a beautiful finish. We were very impressed with Christian Cornejo and his team as it was evident that they were skilled professionals. We were, in fact, so impressed with Cornejo Landscaping that we then hired them to replace our ugly old broken concrete driveway with beautiful tumbled stone pavers surrounded by DG and California Gold. We collaborated with Christian on the driveway layout and he provided excellent guidance on the design and presented cost saving options to work with our budget. The driveway demo and installation was exact and professional. We are 100% satisfied with the results and many of our neighbors have stopped by to comment on how beautiful the driveway looks. We highly recommend Cornejo Landscaping for any general construction and landscape needs. We would not hesitate to hire them in the future."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

If you have a manageably-sized lawn and the ground is relatively even and free of debris, a reel mower can be very effective. That’s because reel mowers provide a cleaner, more precise cut compared to power rotary mowers. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to stay on top of your lawn maintenance: Reel mowers can’t handle grass that’s grown too tall or dense.

St. Augustine grass grows fast thanks to its dense mat-like structure and vigorous root system. If you've laid St. Augustine sod, it'll put down roots, get itself established, and start to spread in 14 days.

Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing warm-season grasses because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.
