"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.

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.  

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

Yes, it’s acceptable to water the lawn in very hot weather, but you should try to water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for best results. However, watering when the temperature is above 95 degrees is ineffective. If you’re concerned about whether to water your lawn during extreme heat, consult a local lawn care professional who can recommend a watering schedule based on your grass type and climate.

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts.
