"We had an excellent experience working with A&A Lawn Care / Andres Madriz and couldn’t be happier with the final results. From the beginning, Andres was patient, honest, and very communicative. He took the time to explain the process, walk us through options, and answer all of our questions, even with multiple follow-ups. We never felt rushed and always felt respected. After speaking with several contractors who declined our project, we felt very lucky to find Andres. He was accommodating, flexible, and willing to work with us. The project included concrete work for both our front and backyard, including stamped concrete, broom-finished concrete, and decorative rock. The work was done with great attention to detail, kept clean throughout, and completed as discussed. Andres also explained the 1-year workmanship warranty, which gave us peace of mind. We’re extremely happy with the results and highly recommend A&A Lawn Care."

"We needed help replacing broken sprinklers and checking the sprinkler system. Marcus from Sunset Landscaping came out to give us a quote. He was prompt with responding to inquiries and was able to give us a fair assessment. He fixed all the broken sprinklers with efficiency and was very courteous. He also helped with information regarding other projects I have around the house. Would highly recommend him for garden services."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.  

How often you should maintain your yard depends on your climate and what season it is. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a lawn height of three inches.

Signs of an overwatered lawn can be visual, physical, or related to pests and weeds. Visually, the grass may appear yellow, wilted, patchy, or thin instead of green and lush. You might also notice the presence of mushrooms, other fungal growths, or an increase in weeds like crabgrass. Physically, the soil may be waterlogged, soggy, and perpetually damp. An overwatered lawn often feels mushy or makes a squishing sound underfoot, even several hours after watering. Additionally, you may see an increase in pests such as grubs. To prevent overwatering, ensure your lawn has proper drainage through periodic aeration and adjust your watering schedule to meet its actual needs.

Hiring a professional lawn care service is generally worth the cost, especially if you have limited free time. Lawn care professionals can ensure your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, guaranteeing a healthy, beautiful, and well-maintained yard with professional-looking results. While some homeowners enjoy doing the work themselves, hiring a company frees up your schedule. The decision also depends on your budget and whether you already own the necessary lawn equipment, as doing the maintenance yourself can reduce monthly costs. Additionally, many lawn care companies offer other services like snow and leaf removal to keep your property in top shape year-round.

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.
