"Joe and his team installed grass from scratch in our Carmel Valley home. They took away old dried up grass, re-leveled the area, installed a mesh under the grass to prevent more gophers from making holes, and installed new Marathon. It looks great! Joe and his team were very professional, and completed the work in the time they said they would. Joe cares a lot regarding the quality of the job and has excellent communication. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. When they came in we were still ruffled from a prior difficult experience with a hardscape company, and Joe and his team helped put us to ease. We had a great experience with them and highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone else."

"I hired Sotelo Tree Service and was incredibly impressed with Jacob and his crew's professionalism. He responded immediately to my inquiry and provided me with a competitive quote. He also told me what to expect in terms of how the tree would look. He put out signs the night before so the street would be cleared for the truck and shredder. He and his crew arrived slightly earlier than we'd discussed and the team (3 people) completed the job including cleanup in less than an hour. Jacob also took the time to tell me how often I might trim the tree to manage it in the future. I would highly recommend Sotelo Tree Service and working with Jacob. I plan to use them yearly to manage the tree's growth and spread."

"Kyle at Boulder Landscapes was great from beginning to end. When he came to provide the estimate he was full of ideas providing multiple possibilities for plants and trees. He gave us a vision for the project and then executed it perfectly. We were so happy with the work that we extended our project and had he and his crew do more work. Not only was Kyle great but crew was also friendly and professional. They worked hard and efficiently. I couldn’t recommend a company more!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.

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.

Yes, removal services can handle projects like estate clearouts or major renovations.

The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).
