Customers say: Quality work

"Excellent customer service through the entire project. They showed up when they said they would, did the work they promised and completed little extras that made the job that much better all for the price we agreed on. I was impressed by the work ethic. This started as a clean up job on a neglected yard and even thought we haven’t replanted yet, everything looks 100% better. I will hire them again and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"5 Star Landscaping really deserves the 5 Star name. They came over right on time and worked non-stop until my sprinkler regulator was installed and programmed. They checked all the sprinkler heads and replaced as necessary and even changed a broken pipe and cut the root that had damaged the pipe. An overall great experience. I will not hesitate to recommend them and call on them again."

"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!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the service from LA Landscape & Sprinkler Pros. Erix was incredible—super fast, professional, and the quality of the work was top-notch. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing, and he doesn’t cut corners. My yard looks amazing and the sprinkler system runs perfectly. Highly recommend!"

"Antonio from Altamirano Service came promptly to assess the project. He seems very knowledgeable and provided a verbal quote to complete the project. I did not hire him because the gardener who has previously worked for me let me know he is available and I hired him instead."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing warm-season grasses because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.

In general, cool-season grasses such as fescue grass, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia grass don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.

Properly secured bird netting is the best option to cover your grass seed with. It creates a minor moisture barrier that can help seeds sprout, and it’s a great way to keep birds away from your seeds. A cheaper, lower-maintenance option is hay or mulch, but these can change the look of your lawn and require cleanup in the case of straw.

Yes, after the lawn is overseeded post-aeration, most of the seed germinates in the aeration holes. This leaves the soil undisturbed while lush and healthy grass will grow in the holes' place. The point of this is to create extra turf density in areas that really need it, such as a large patch of dead grass where a shed used to be.

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.
