"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."

"We posted early Nov 2005 for sprinkler repair job and Mike Robbins responded and we met for him to look at our issues. He said we needed new pump/cellinoids(?) and new, different brand controller. He inquired about other projects we might want done, and we mentioned some landscaping in front and back yard areas. We decided on "black" river rock type ground cover for our tree/flower bush areas to replace prior black wood chips that had faded and mostly blown away, and some pea gravel for our dog-run side of house & a smaller gated other side of house. He also removed a rose bush in back left corner back yard and roots from old orange tree that had blown over and prep'd the areas for drip lines (only the ones for fruit tree areas have worked, but not ones our bushes). When delivered, the rock for backyard was not "black", but gray, which Mike said is what "Mexican black" rock looks like(?) I then asked to make sure we got the nicer shiny, black "polished" rock for our front flower beds. He also mentioned he could get us a nice Japanese Maple tree for back left corner of backyard, and later added that he could build a nice, attractive wooden box to hold that tree. He mentioned he could build a 2 sided, open roof wooden structure with front gate around our outdoor Generac generator in back right of backyard. We had an uninstalled water fountain feature in backyard which he looked at and said he could get an underwater pump needed and make a cement slab base for it next to Japanese Maple tree, and set up and activate the water fountain & pump when he came back in the Spring to put a sealant on the Japanese Maple tree wooden box and wooden structure around the Generac generator, as well as "check on" 3 Hibiscus flowers he got for us in our front yard (he also got a small "twisty" tree-like plant for small area next to front left of garage door), and replace them if the Winter killed them. He would also at that time bring 2 Geranium flowers (one for each side of front doorway to house). The last thing done in the Fall was the prep & installation of the artificial grass (most expensive part) in backyard, which he said was guaranteed for 2 years (but never gave us any paperwork for that). He never said there would have to be a "seam" for a portion of it, but when installed, there was one, but I didn't make an issue of it (but wasn't happy). He also had verbally assured me that there shouldn't be any issue of our puppy (9 mo old BerneDoodle) tearing up the artificial grass; despite him having seen how badly she had dug up most of our back lawn. During the entire process from start to finish, as new/additional items were added to the project list Mike would let me know approximately how much it was adding up to. On 12-6-2025 when he asked for payment after the artificial grass was finished (and still had the above=referenced flowers to be provided, checked on, water feature to be done, and sealant applied to wooden structures in backyard, which he said was all included in his "final" verbal quote to me, I once again asked him to email me and invoice detailing everything done & to be done yet, and showing final price (which he promised to do), and I paid him our personal check for $33,375.00. I trusted him to follow through on this and remainder to be done in Spring because had had never asked for partial payments while work was being done (I asked him one time why he didn't need a partial payment, and he said that if someone didn't ever pay him, "they'd just wake up one morning and find their car was gone"; at the time I laughed, but I'm not now!). Finally between June, July & Aug. 2026, after not hearing anything from him, texted him, emailed and called him seeking an answer to the remaining paid but unfinished work; but I've never received ANY response at all. By the way, the artificial lawn was NOT dog-proof at all, and fibers were easily dug out by our dog."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

St. Augustine grass grows fast thanks to its dense mat-like structure and vigorous root system. If you've laid St. Augustine sod, it'll put down roots, get itself established, and start to spread in 14 days.

Mowing your grass regularly, especially if you’re mowing close to the ground, can help kill Johnsongrass. Frequent mowing helps limit the spread of Johnsongrass and can even deplete carbohydrate reserves in rhizomes over time. The more time you leave in between mowing, the more likely Johnsongrass is to regrow and take over your lawn. 

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

Yes, sulfur helps grass grow greener and healthier. As a secondary nutrient, it creates a rich growing environment by helping to reduce the soil's pH level. This allows the grass roots to better absorb primary nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The result is denser, lusher, and stronger grass with a vibrant green appearance. While not necessary for every lawn, sulfur is a beneficial soil amendment that can make a significant difference in the health and look of your lawn.

Depending on the local climate and time of year, you only need to water your lawn by hand once or twice a week. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes with a hose and/or watering can. It doesn't require any electricity or complex irrigation systems and provides some exercise and time outdoors for free. You can also go for longer between waterings during rainy times.
