Their estimate was very fair in comparison to the others I received and their reviews on Angie's List sounded pretty good. I was really satisfied with their service because the lawn looks great. I would recommend them to anyone!

"I had really lit my side yard and backyard go. There was a lot of junk including old moldy carpeting, two old broken down recliners, patio furniture, tree trimmings, rotten apples, and sidewalks so overgrown with shrubbery you couldn’t walk through there. All the flower beds were covered with dead grass and weeds. I just want it all the junk removed but Kevin Sanchez said his crew could do that but they could also straighten up my gardens and make it look pretty again. I was skeptical, but I liked his vibe so I hired them. I couldn’t have been more shocked when I saw that not only was all the junk gone trees were trimmed and the flowerbeds had been restored and rejuvenated with freshly turned over topsoil. and it was a great value. Kevin brought his team and they attacked my backyard with fervor and it was obvious they were there to get the job done with the least hassle possible. They even checked with me on a couple of items to make sure I really wanted to get rid of it.I appreciate"

FAQs for lawn service projects in Santa Barbara, CA
Depending on the areas that a lawn care company specializes in, most companies offer a core set of services that usually include:
Mowing
Mulch
Tree trimming and pruning
Pest control
Landscaping
Leaf removal
Spring and fall cleanup
Shrub trimming and pruning
Check with local lawn care companies to confirm that they offer the services you’re looking for.
The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.
The recommended frequency to fertilize your lawn depends on the health of your lawn. If the grass is healthy and you have good soil, you may only need to apply fertilizer once yearly. However, if your lawn has shallow roots or poor, sandy soil that lacks the nutrients that grass needs to thrive, you may need to fertilize the lawn every six weeks.
On average, the cost to hydroseed ranges between $500 and $4,000. The cost depends on the size of the area you’re hydroseeding, the type of grass seed, slope of your yard, and other factors. Hydroseed is a mixture of grass seed, fertilizer, water, and mulch that you spray on the lawn using a pressurized sprayer. While the process is more expensive than seeding, grass will grow more quickly, and is often healthier.
Yes, it can be cheaper to fertilize your own lawn. DIY lawn fertilization saves the cost of hiring a lawn care company or a company that specializes in lawn fertilization. It’s important to handle fertilizer carefully to avoid the potential dangers of getting fertilizing chemicals on your skin. Also, using the wrong type of fertilizer or misapplying it can permanently damage your lawn. On average, the cost to fertilize your lawn using a professional lawn care service is about $250 and may be worth checking into as professionals tend to have the equipment and knowledge to apply the most effective blend of fertilizer to your lawn for the best results.
