"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!"

"I hired Erix with LA Landscape & Sprinkler Pros to completely redo my irrigation setup, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. He installed a mix of drip irrigation and pop-up sprinklers throughout the yard, and it’s made a huge difference already. The coverage is much more even, everything runs efficiently, and the installation was done neatly and professionally. What I appreciated most was how thorough and knowledgeable he was throughout the whole process. He walked me through the best setup for the different plants and lawn areas, suggested a few smart adjustments to help save water, and made sure everything was working properly before wrapping up. It never felt rushed, and you could tell he actually cared about doing the job right. The yard already looks healthier, and the whole system feels much more updated and reliable. Erix was professional, easy to communicate with, and great to work with from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing irr"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it's common for lawns to look bare after dethatching. Dethatching brings soil to the surface to create a "bald" look on your lawn. While you may choose to patch or reseed your lawn if bare patches seem excessive, it's normal for a lawn to look bare after dethatching. With the layer of debris that was blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching your grass now gone, your lawn is likely to grow better than ever.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

Professional lawn care can increase your home’s value, as it beautifies your exterior and improves curb appeal. Potential buyers who pull up to a house that looks neat and clean will get a great first impression, and savvy buyers will know that a well-maintained exterior is probably indicative of proper care for other things, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Ultimately, a lawn that’s professionally cared for can boost your home’s appearance and lead buyers to offer more for your house.

You should not water your lawn every day, even in hot weather. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. It is best to water during a drought or when temperatures are high, but avoid watering in the middle of the day or if the temperature exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) when the temperature is cooler.

Most businesses schedule services weekly or biweekly to maintain a professional appearance and healthy lawn.
