"This was a complete landscape redo for our residence. The project included fencing and painting, repair redwood deck and paint, install pavers and fire pit, remove grass and install synthetic turf, large tree removal, hedge removal, destruction and removal of sidewalk and replacement with pavers, replacement of lawn with decorative rock and succulents/cactus, complete irrigation overhaul and installation of drip system, install landscape lighting. Luis is a stickler for detail and made sure the job was done right. He is great to work with and his crew are professional and courteous."

"C & H Gardens Artistic Landscape & Tree Service did a fantastic job in my backyard. They worked within my budget. My planting beds were cleaned out, weed barrier installed and new succulents planted. They worked with me on design and planting. They also re-installed stairs to allow access into my canyon lot. Finally they installed a retaining wall to support my mature sycamore tree that is on a slope and also terraced above the tree on the slope. The workmen were efficient and friendly. I would definitely recommend this business for your landscaping needs.1"

"Jacob returned my call the same day. His bid was reasonable compared to the last time I had my eucalyptus tree cut but stump not removed. This time I had my grown ficus tree along with a small guava. The ficus roots has become unwieldy and threatening the new fence so it had to go, including the stump and roots! Sotelo Tree Service has a complete set of machines to do a complete tree removal - mulcher truck and a stump shredder tractor. Overall, I am satisfied 100%"

Customers say: Quality work

"I received a phone call within minutes of requesting a quote. Mr. Ruiz came out the same day (Sunday). Showed him the problem on the surface. (Which was an irrigation problem) .He had to dig up some dirt and found the issue. After getting the parts to fix the problem, he showed up the next morning and not only did he complete the requested job. He fixed some wires someone else had cut doing another job. I was manually turning on the sprinklers and using the hose to water the grass. He looked at all my sprinkler heads. He set up the timer on the sprinkler system to ensure my system was working perfectly. The PRICE was RIGHT!! I was holding my breath on how much this would cost. After I paid for the services, I went inside and did a happy dance. I have funds left over to order take out for dinner. I also found out that he provides other lawn services like installing artificial turf and retaining walls. I will definitely hire again. I also appreciated that Mr. Ruiz wore a mask during this uneasy time. (Covid-19)"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

As a beginner, start by mowing your lawn in symmetrical rows by turning the mower at the end of each row and overlapping with the previous row. Use an edging tool or weedwacker to make your lawn look sharp and crisp around the edges, and then sweep the debris back into the yard. Take it slow, and know that you can adjust your approach or pattern the next time your grass needs a clip.

You can leave grass clippings on the lawn, depending on their length. You don’t want to completely cover new grass and block it from sunlight, or encourage moss crowd out the more delicate grass. However, short clippings are usually fine to leave on the lawn. In some cases, they can be beneficial: Clippings can be a source of fertilizer and help protect the ground as young grass blades develop.

Many homeowners in warmer climates like this resilient, hearty grass because it can tolerate excessive heat and drought while developing into a lush lawn. Unlike other grasses, Bermuda grass grows and spreads quickly and can withstand excessive foot traffic. But whether Bermuda grass is good for lawns may depend on your geographic location, as this grass has a low tolerance for cooler temperatures, which causes it to go dormant and turn brown in the winter months.
