"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

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.

Using specialized equipment, they aerate thoroughly, alleviating compaction and enhancing root health.

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. 

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
