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."

"I highly recommend them! They were extremely polite, helpful, and professional from start to finish. I live in Florida and hired them to do the job at my parents’ home in California, so I had to handle everything over the phone. They made the entire process so easy and stress-free. My mom said they did an amazing job, and I’m very happy with the service. It’s not always easy coordinating work from another state, but they were reliable, professional, and wonderful to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of my parents’ home!"

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

Dawn dish soap is typically too abrasive to use on plants, even when diluted with water. The soap contains detergents that can strip away a plant's natural waxes and oils, which are there to protect the leaves.

Should you decide to make your own soap spray insecticide, it's important to choose a gentle soap that doesn't contain detergents or surfactants. Castile soap, such as Dr. Bronner’s, is a good pick.

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.

The fastest way to rid your yard of pesky stickers or burs is to go mechanical on them with a lawn mower or garden rake. Use a lawnmower with a bagger attachment to avoid spreading the seeds around and causing a bigger issue. If you choose to rake the stickers off the plants, be sure to dispose of them properly. Avoid putting them in with the composting and check local guidelines for disposing of lawn waste.

In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it’s difficult for the mower to cut through.
