"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."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

While there’s no exact science to how often you should rake your leaves, a good rule of thumb to follow is to rake leaves every three to four days. However, you can rake more often or less often, depending on how quickly leaves are accumulating on your lawn.

Ticks prefer tall grass and seek out shady and moist areas. So, in some instances a no-mow lawn may increase tick population in your yard. This scenario is not ideal if you spend lots of time in your yard or if you have pets. If you spray pesticide then this can also harm the pollinators. However, you can make a DIY tick killer with more natural ingredients to avoid using toxic chemicals.

Regular cleaning, sealing, and inspections help identify problems early and maintain aesthetics.
