"Fantastic! My lawns are beautiful because of the way they cut the grass plus sweep up the bits of grass on the sidewalks. Many times they will cut the top of a huge Bush that is nicely cleaned then. Also, he is on time each week!"

Customers say: True professional

"The first thing that convinced us that Cristian was the man for the job was his honest, kind, and helpful demeanor. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted to do in our outdoor space and he came back on several occasions to discuss plans with us, walking through our yard and helping us visualize the possibilities. We never felt rushed and Cristian genuinely wanted us to end up with a space that we really enjoyed, which in the end, we did. He also offered information from his years of experience in both landscaping and other construction work. He really knows his stuff! He was also very responsive whenever we needed to discuss something. When the work began, he arrived on time with a good crew and they worked efficiently to get each stage of the project done ahead of the estimated timeframe. Our happiness was in the little details too. When asked to be careful of newly planted plants in our garden when putting in the sprinkler system, Cristian’s crew were careful. In the end we opted for natural grass with a full sprinkler system. We were very happy with the end result. The grass looked great and the sprinklers were placed well so that all parts of the grass are getting water. In a time when materials and labor are very expensive, Cristian’s pricing seemed reasonable and fair. Overall, we were very happy with the work Cristian and his crew did. He has since been in contact with us several times, stopping by to check on the grass and adjust the watering as needed. We would definitely hire Cristian again. He provided a very professional and skilled service, and is a kind and friendly man."

"Tyler from TMD Irrigation Service was prompt, polite and professional. He accurately diagnosed an electrical issue with our sprinkler valves, repaired two leaking valves and got our system working perfectly in less than an hour. He also walked the property looking for any other sprinkler issues and made a couple of helpful suggestions on how to get the most out of our aging sprinkler system. He is intelligent, honest, efficient and affordable. I've worked with a number good of Irrigation/Lawn Sprinkler professionals over the years. Tyler is one of the best."

"Tavo and the team at Bajascape turned my front yard from an eyesore to the best looking lawn on the street in just a few days. They were friendly, respectful of our neighbors and tackled unforeseen hurdles in the project with grace and an open mind. When I'm ready to continue with my landscape projects, these guys are the first folks I'll call."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Many homeowners in warmer climates like this resilient, hearty grass because it can tolerate excessive heat and drought while developing into a lush lawn. Unlike other grasses, Bermuda grass grows and spreads quickly and can withstand excessive foot traffic. But whether Bermuda grass is good for lawns may depend on your geographic location, as this grass has a low tolerance for cooler temperatures, which causes it to go dormant and turn brown in the winter months.

It is not recommended to mow wet grass, including grass with morning dew. Mowing when wet can damage your lawn, your mower, and potentially cause injury. Wet grass blades are more likely to be torn rather than cut cleanly, which can lead to brown tips and increase the risk of fungal diseases. Additionally, wet clippings can clump together, smothering the grass underneath, and can clog your mower. For best results, wait until the grass is dry to the touch, which is often about two hours after morning dew has evaporated. Regular lawn mower maintenance is also important for a clean cut.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.

Start your search for a good lawn care company by finding some landscapers in your area; it might be a good idea to research companies that already work on your block, as they’re more likely to be able to fit you into their schedules, given your proximity. Next, conduct a search online to see if they have positive customer reviews, and try to avoid companies that have poor scores or a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, make sure to ask each company about pricing, contracts, scheduling, and any add-on services.

Because it’s native to the central United States and Canada and is drought-tolerant, it typically is not difficult to grow. It requires very little maintenance and minimal watering beyond rainfall. Its hardy nature and unique look make it a favorite choice among people living in the western United States and other dry regions of the country.
