"Luis and Jorge did an excellent job. Luis explained exactly what he would do and he did exactly that! He showed me around afterwards to make sure I was satisfied or to see if there were any concerns and they took care of my concern immediately. They are very hard workers and our lawn showed it! The work was top quality and the price was fair. This was my first visit today but Luis and Jorge seemed very professional and reliable."

Juan showed up to check what I wanted done for yard maintenance The project started Dec 20, 2024 This is for yard maintenance for front & backyard for mowing edging cleanup. I ask initially for one month (x2 svc) only. I’m happy & appreciate his service. We had decided to permanently have Juan do lawn maintenance. Owner Juan is reliable and honest."

"Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection. The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard...C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done."

"I found them at an air show. After the show, they came out and gave me an estimate. The quality of the product was good and the installation was excellent. We're enjoying. Here in San Diego we can't water our lawns anymore so it's nice to have. The price may have been a little high but, quality was more important. We had extra things done. They put down a galvanized steal mesh under it to keep the weeds from coming up."

"Chad, of "SD's Finest Landscaping" did a great job in fixing and adjusting my total lawn and garden irrigation system. Their pricing was fair, given the amount of work involved. I will certainly go back to them for any future outdoor landscaping and irrigation projects. I interviewed other landscaping services; "SD's Finest Landscaping" was, by far, the best in terms of quality and price."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Routine lawn care costs between $50 and $250 per service, with an average of around $100. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you’ll pay will depend on a few different factors:

  • Size of your lawn

  • Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions

  • Requested services 

  • Home’s location

  • How quickly your grass grows

Overwatering won’t just hurt your wallet with the water bill; it’ll impact the longevity of your lawn. 

Too much water on your grass will deprive the root system of oxygen, stunting its growth and even killing it. Stunted root growth means a weak and disconnected root system. That means the lawn is weaker, making it more vulnerable to diseases and drought.

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

While it's a good idea to water your grass during a drought or when temperatures are high, you should not water your lawn every day. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. Avoid watering in the middle of the day or when the temperature is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, as the extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water your lawn in the summer is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening, such as between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., when it's cooler.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.
