Customers say: Quick response

"Hector. his family members and crew worked really hard. We worked together and came up with a plan for front, back yards and for existing slope around large Redwood trees. Hector came back with additional ideas that really improved our original ideas. Hector amazed me when it came to hooking up to the water system and was able to provide sprinklers for the lawn, plants and trees and set up a timer. It was a pleasure working with Hector, he stayed in contact with me and discussed details and suggestion through out my project. They installed new lawn's, some small plants and flowers, several trees and installed Bark as ground cover. Very Happy with the finished project, I will defiantly recommend H.G. Landscapes to others who have had there homes rebuilt. Thank You Hector"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Lazy composting involves putting leaves, grass clippings, and plant trimmings in a corner of your yard and letting nature take its course. There is no turning, watering, or balancing green and brown materials. It’s a low-effort, long-term approach that can take up to one or two years to create finished compost. It is perfect for gardeners who don’t mind waiting and want a no-fuss way to repurpose organic waste.

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.

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.
