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

Morning and late afternoon are the best times for watering new grass seed. The seed gets a healthy balance of water and sunlight, and the excess water evaporates. If you water the grass long after the sun goes down, the air is too cold, and there's no sun to make excess water evaporate. This keeps the grass damp for too long, increasing the chances of over-watering.

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

Technically, yes, at least some of the grass seed you throw on the ground will germinate. If the area doesn’t have good drainage, rain or overwatering can move seeds before they have germinated, leaving your patches still patchy. What does grow won’t have strong roots if there isn’t proper aeration.

One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they’re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.

Overseeding typically involves spreading grass seed either manually or with a machine that sprays the grass seed out and onto the soil. With overseeding, the grass seeds sit on the soil, and some may fall deeper into the soil if you aerated beforehand. With power seeding, a machine cuts narrow rows into the soil and pushes the grass seeds directly into the soil.
