"They were very professional. Priced very reasonably and very good quality of work, not rushed. We’ve had a few rounds of yard clean up service, this by far has been the best. They came in cleaned and even proposed projects to better maintain our front yard so it will not need much maintenance. Thank you Jesus and Herlinda!"

"We hired Daniel Soto to thatch, aerate and fertilize our front and back yards (approximately 3,250 square feet). Soto and his crew arrived in the early morning and went to work and stayed until sun down in order to complete the job. It was a pleasure to work with Daniel and I highly recommend him for any lawn projects."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeremiah and his lawn care service! From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, reliable, and incredibly pleasant to work with. He took great pride in his work and paid attention to all the little details, leaving our yard looking absolutely beautiful. It was obvious that he genuinely cares about doing a great job and making sure his customers are happy. Jeremiah went above and beyond what we expected, and the quality of his work was outstanding. I would highly, highly recommend Jeremiah to anyone looking for lawn care or landscaping services. He is hardworking, trustworthy, respectful, and takes his work seriously, which can be difficult to find these days. We are so happy with the results and will absolutely use him again in the future. If you are considering hiring him, I would not hesitate for a second — you will be very happy you did! Jeremiah is truly someone I would recommend to my family, friends, and neighbors."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants. 

But unless you’re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.

Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs—their main food source—will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common.
