"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!"

"Absolutely lovely experience! Juan and his crew provided the most amazing service from start to finish — can’t wait to have them back again! Really took the time to listen to us, perfectly understood our needs — then did the hardest work we’ve ever seen! Truly perfect execution of a crazy labor intensive project — clearing and leveling a completely overgrown backyard that had been ignored for decades — we can’t thank them enough! Gave us a completely fresh start for our backyard, beautiful smooth space for a pool... we have them to thank for our summer! Don’t hesitate to hire this best in class gardening service — they will exceed your expectations! Thanks for everything!"

"Just had Paul come by and install a new Rain Bird wifi sprinkler timer. What a joy to meet him. Old school nice and installed it without a problem. Big shout out to Paul from Bellflower Landscaping. Note: I had called at least three other Landscape people, and all three of them said that they could not install a WIFI sprinkler timer. Paul did it without a problem!"

"Extremely well. I was able to contact by phone and he request photos of the damage to prepare ahead of time. Quick site visit and then the better part of another day doing the work. He was responsive and diligent about time of arrival updates and working with my schedule. Work itself looks very well done and cleanup was great. Overall one of the best handyman experiences I've had."

"We needed someone to troubleshoot why our backyard sprinklers are not working. Esau is highly responsive and communicate. He came out, was able to troubleshoot the wiring issue, adjust the sprinkler heads to hit the right spots of the grass, set the right timer. He's also update to date with the latest app/technology if we wanted to change the current sprinkler system so that we control it from our phone. I'd highly recommend Esau/First Rate Irrigation!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

It never hurts to ask a lawn care professional if their prices are negotiable, but generally, they aren’t. However, you might be able to negotiate a deal on bundled services from the same lawn care service. Consider talking to your lawn mowing service provider about discounts on other services, like tree removal, leaf removal, snow removal, or weeding.

The cost of yard work depends on the type of work you need done. The average cost of lawn care is $300, but you could pay as little as $100 or up to $500.

As a beginner, start by mowing your lawn in symmetrical rows by turning the mower at the end of each row and overlapping with the previous row. Use an edging tool or weedwacker to make your lawn look sharp and crisp around the edges, and then sweep the debris back into the yard. Take it slow, and know that you can adjust your approach or pattern the next time your grass needs a clip.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. 

Stick to your watering schedule. As long as new grass is getting plenty of water from irrigation, it shouldn’t need watering right after you cut it. Watch for signs like yellowing grass that shows a new lawn isn’t getting enough water and needs more regular irrigation. If you want to water after mowing, wait until the afternoon. Hot, direct sunlight can scorch grass more easily when it’s wet, so it’s better to wait until the day has cooled off.
