Customers say: Quality work

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Lemme tell you, finding someone who actually shows up when they say they will? A miracle. These guys not only came out the same day but they had my whole front yard irrigation issue diagnosed and fixed in under two hours. He was kind, careful, and made my grass look like it never had a problem. I’m calling them again next month for a full yard revamp!"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

No, it isn’t illegal, but many cities and towns have noise ordinances that it could violate. Either way, it can still cause problems if it bothers your neighbors. For motor-powered lawnmowers, the general consensus for common courtesy is to wait until after 8 a.m. to mow your lawn. However, if you have a push mower, you should be safe to mow at any time of day, provided you don’t make excessive noise in other ways.

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

In most municipalities, lawn care and mowing companies require at least a business license to operate legally. However, requirements can vary by location, and some areas mandate that landscaping companies be licensed, insured, and bonded, or even hold a general contractor license. Before hiring any lawn service, confirm they are fully insured. This protects you from liability for injuries on your property and also protects the company's employees. You can use Angi's state license lookup tool to verify a company's licensing status in your area.

If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home’s climate conditions. You can extend your grass’ lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.
