"On Saturday, June 9, 2018, I hired A&A Lawn Care to do a HUGE job of cleaning-up an ENORMOUS amount of ivy that had overgrown and overtaken most of the tall trees and bushes in my VERY LARGE backyard!!! Not only did the guys remove ALL the overgrown ivy in my immediate yard, but they climbed up into the trees and onto VERY tall ladders and removed the ivy that was NOT only in MY trees, but they removed ALL the ivy from the trees in the yards adjacent to my yard so that the ivy wouldn't become overgrown again!!! Needless to say, I was ELATED and so were ALL my surrounding neighbors!!! I've worked BOTH construction AND landscaping when I was younger and I can tell you, these guys worked their behinds off!!! Not only did they do SUCH a BEAUTIFUL job, but they THOROUGHLY cleaned-up after they were finished!!! Also, these guys were a GREAT PLEASURE to work with!!! I was SO IMPRESSED by their work and work ethic that, I hired them to do the FINAL landscaping on BOTH my front and backyards!!! Thank-you A&A Lawn Care for doing SUCH an AMAZING job!!! God Bless You, Julie Mc-T., Salida, Ca."

"I have hired a couple of other handymen through the years that might fix one or two sprinklers for a fee. This company fixed or added additional sprinklers to make sure all flowerbeds and grass are covered with water. They also fixed a broken pipe, replaced two irrigation valves and much more. Iâ m extremely happy with their work."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn’s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. 

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

As we know, leaving dog poop on your lawn can cause patching and even death of your grass. But, even if your yard is hardscaped, leaving dog poop lying around is unhygienic and smelly, and it’s an invitation for kids to trail it into the house on the soles of their shoes.

Raking is one way to remove moss from your lawn. However, if you rake live moss, it can spread and exacerbate the problem. Instead, use a moss killer, then wait a couple of weeks before raking to ensure the moss is dead and can’t spread to other areas of your lawn.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.
