"These guys are Miracle Workers! I had a disgusting front yard filled with weeds and my wife and I barely have time to take care of it. All the other lawn car providers we’ve tried hiring before reaching out to AAA Landscaping kept changing dates on us or were charging a ridiculous amount. AAA Landscaping were able to work with my schedule, very friendly, and did a phenomenal job cleaning our yard at a competitive price rate. I almost didn’t recognize the yard after the job was done. I’ve decided hired AAA Landscaping for weekly maintenance and I’m introducing a few of my neighbors to the service as well. If you yard is in dire need of some cleaning, AAA Landscaping is the friendliest and most efficient service around!"

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 questions, 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.

The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.

You have a few options to get rid of raked leaves, including bagging them and leaving them out for yard waste pickup. Even if you hire a professional for leaf removal, they can often bag the leaves and leave them for you to dispose of this way. You can also recycle and even donate yard waste. If you have a compost bin, your leaves will be ready to help your plants grow, reducing spring cleanup landscaping costs. Some companies will even accept donations of raked leaves to make compost, but you’ll need to transport them yourself.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.
