"Good communication from start to finish. Arrived on time and took care to completely mow, trim, weed eat, and reshape oleanders and cypress. They left my property looking fresh and clean. I highly recommend using them for your yard maintenance and lawn care!"
"The lawn clean-up and initial mowing of the new sod went well. Cleared out the overgrown bushes in the backyard and freshened up the front yard. Definitely recommend them for additional work."
"Gilbert and a younger guy finished the weeding from start to finish in a seamless manner. They spread additional bark covering the blotches. All work took 45 minutes so quietly that I did not realize they were in the back yard. The landscaper also quoted a reasonable price for an automated drip irrigation system tied to the current lawn sprinkler network. Great job. Value for money not a full five stars, but that is just this reviewer being chintzy."
"A-1 has maintained our yard for quite a few years now. They do an excellent job. They have trimmed my shrubbery as needed without being asked. They also do small clean-up jobs without being asked. So, when it came to putting in my patio, I knew I hired the right people. They have been considerate of my plants and were careful in moving an old whisky barrel that's falling apart! I want to fix it up. Mr. Singh put up with what was supposed to be a simple repair job to a whole new patio and landscaping around the patio! I certainly have no complaints with A-1 Landscaping."
"It was awesome, way beyond our expectations! Ramon did an excellent job, trimmed, weed whacked, mowed, raked, blew off leaves and did a weed spray around the yard perimeter! Truly amazing!"
"It went great. We put in our request, he responded, we scheduled the work, and the work was completed all within 24 hours! He did a great job! We would definitely hire him again."
"Contractor was able to help me with Electrical on AC unit, lighting replacment, dryer vent, plumbing. He did great work, fair prices, and had excellent customer service. He even worked with me to replace the GFCI and cord to get our Hot Tub working while we were out of town!! I highly recommend McD Flooring!"
"This guy does excellent work. He’s always there when he says he will. He goes above and beyond his scope of work. Always leaves my lawn looking nice and clean. I highly recommend them"
We always recommend wearing a protective mask when blowing leaves (as well as goggles if possible). Blowing leaves creates a lot of dust, and in many cases that dust contains a bunch of allergens that can make those sensitive very miserable. Even worse, moldy leaves can contain fungi and bacteria that could make humans as animals very sick. Mask up before starting your leaf project, and if anyone is helping you collect the leaves it’s a good idea if they wear a mask, too.
It’s possible to go too far trimming your bushes or hedges. If you overdo it, you may kill the plant. Stick to trimming about a third of the branches on your bush each season to prevent over-cutting. If your hedge is overgrown and needs a heavy trim, avoid cutting off the main branches that make up the top of the bush.
While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.
A thorn bush isn’t likely to do serious damage, but it’ll definitely hurt if you get a thorn or two in your hand or arm. When removing thorn bushes, always wear thick gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles to protect against thorns and dirt. If dealing with larger bushes or unfamiliar terrain, consider enlisting a helper for assistance.
Junk removal usually includes removing unwanted items from your property, loading it into a dumpster or a truck, and then carting the junk off of your property to be disposed of at a dump site. In most cases, your dumping fees—charged by the dump site—are included in your estimate, but you might want to confirm this expense with your junk removal team. Some junk removal companies offer additional services, like a deep clean after junk removal and moving and packing services, in case you’re getting rid of garbage as part of your relocation efforts.
