"Josue and his team have been maintaining my yard for a couple of years now. I highly recommend him! He does my regular lawn maintenance but troubleshoots issues as they come up (over the years there have been a few - repairing a very old sprinkler system, cleaning up and removing fallen branches, treating diseased tree). What I love about him is he just takes the initiative to handle whatever needs to be done. My yard is something I never have to worry about. I truly enjoy working with Josue, it brightens my day when I pull up to my house and see him. He is trustworthy and for me, that is the most important factor when hiring someone who has access to my home."

"Miguel and his team were awesome. They topped, trimmed and thinned over grown shrubs and trees in our hard to access yard. They were prompt, thorough and knowledgeable in tree pruning. They cleaned up well and hauled away the debris. Highly recommend. I will have them back!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.

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.

In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.

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.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.
