"After having gone through a couple of gardeners who either did the very minimal or ones that just didn't show up I was hopeful after reading the reviews here. I scheduled a visit and waited that morning wondering which it would be. I received a text shortly before the scheduled time indicating that he was going to need to reschedule to a few hours later. A text! Jackpot! This guy actually uses technology! So of course, a couple hours was perfectly fine. He arrived, we went through my expectations; explaining that we had a dog and he knew right off about the foxtails and said that he would take them off site and would clear everything out. We scheduled for the next week and while they arrived a bit late (<30m), again, he sent me a text telling me he was running a little behind. They got to work and started plowing through the roughage. He and his team were 'all up in those weeds'. I was seriously impressed as they were pulling out the foxtails on the incline and properly corralling them onto a cloth for disposal. His team put in some hard work clearing this area out. Afterwards, they redistributed the existing mulch and I could not be happier with the quality of work he and his team performed. I've already got him scheduled for regular lawn maintenance monthly."

"I am incredibly pleased with this company. The entire crew were 100% professional. The owner of the company took time to answer my homeowner questions as they came up. He was very patient and thorough. All the men on the job worked incredibly hard and stayed on task throughout the project. They installed the French drain, installed a washout and removed an old deck all in a weekend. I would most certainly recommend them."

"Very efficient and knew what they were doing. The job was to dig up bamboo rhizomes and they accomplished it in less than a day. They hauled away the offending rhizomes. (Marin Master Gardeners suggest I water the area to see if any small piece will send up a shoot.) I'd certainly use Ortega Landscape again."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No, carpetgrass and St. Augustine grass are two different species. However this is a very common misconception and you may even find St. Augustine grass is mislabeled as carpetgrass. Carpetgrass does not have as much shade tolerance as St. Augustine grass, and has narrower blades with an alternating pattern (while St. Augustine grass has an opposite pattern). St. Augustine grass doesn’t have the weedy, high seedheads that carpetgrass produces.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

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.

Start your search for a good lawn care company by finding some landscapers in your area; it might be a good idea to research companies that already work on your block, as they’re more likely to be able to fit you into their schedules, given your proximity. Next, conduct a search online to see if they have positive customer reviews, and try to avoid companies that have poor scores or a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, make sure to ask each company about pricing, contracts, scheduling, and any add-on services.

Hiring a pro ensures consistent mowing at the correct height, promoting a healthier lawn and saving time for other activities.
