"It took 3 days after Conrad came out and gave an estimate. Demolition of the front yard took one day. Then a few days later the demolition of the backyard was completed along with the foundation for the drip system was laid and the front yard sprinkler system was placed and then the lawn the following week. He brought a crew of 5 - 6 for two of the three days. they came fully equipped for the job at hand. His crew was friendly, professional and very hard working. Best of all they hauled away all the debris and cleaned up at the end of each day. End result fully functional sprinkler system, a home that now has amazing curb appeal, a green lawn. the backyard looks completely updated and a drip system that is up and running. Thanks to Del Mar Landscape the home looks twenty years younger."

Customers say: Quality work

"They were on top of the job. I have a lot going on and really needed this job finished in a timely manner. LV kept in contact and arrived at the house when they said they would, ready to work. They finished the job and submitted pics since I could not be on the property when the work was done. The yard looks great and there was a lot to cut. It was the first cut since the rains hit so the grass was tall. They cleaned up and left everything looking great. I would recommend LV Gardening to anyone looking for a fast and friendly lawn contractor."

"Jesus was very professional. He diagnosed and repaired the problem. Additionally, he adjusted the other sprinklers so they are now watering only the lawn and not the driveway & sidewalk as well. I would highly recommend. Thank you."

"LA Landscape Sprinkler Pros came out the same day I called about a busted sprinkler valve that was flooding my yard. Erix was quick, clean, and explained everything he was doing in plain English, no BS. Pricing was super fair, and the work was grade A. I’ve already saved his number for the next time I need anything in the yard fixed. Highly recommend!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Mulching leaves with a lawn mower is a great way to reap the benefits of leaf nutrients composting into your lawn without the leaves covering too much of your 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.  

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

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.
