"Josue and his team have been maintaining my yard for a couple of years now. I highly recommend him! He does my regular lawn maintenance but troubleshoots issues as they come up (over the years there have been a few - repairing a very old sprinkler system, cleaning up and removing fallen branches, treating diseased tree). What I love about him is he just takes the initiative to handle whatever needs to be done. My yard is something I never have to worry about. I truly enjoy working with Josue, it brightens my day when I pull up to my house and see him. He is trustworthy and for me, that is the most important factor when hiring someone who has access to my home."

"I had a last-minute need for pretty substantial yard trimming and clearance. It felt as though it would need a team of people to do it, but Aurelio worked really hard and got so much done I was amazed! The yard looks so much better."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

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.

Land-clearing projects often take professionals one to two days to complete, but your timeframe can get much longer—sometimes up to a week or more—if you need your pros to clear a large section of land, grind down multiple large trees below the ground, or clear especially dense or heavy materials, like landscaping boulders and brush. A land-clearing expert will usually give you an accurate timeline along with your quote to help you better plan your project.

Yes, if your home is poorly maintained and has weeds and overgrowth, it can affect your home appraisal and lower the value. Home buyers want to see a well-kept home, and if yours lacks curb appeal whether inundated by weeds or not, you could be neglecting the potential for it to reach its full value.

Overall, artificial turf maintenance isn’t time- or labor-intensive, especially compared to natural lawns. To clean artificial grass, you can start by raking away any organic debris, like leaves and dirt, that have blown in from somewhere else. Then, break out the hose to take care of most messes that are left over.
