Q: Can you just sprinkle grass seed on a lawn?

• <div><p>Technically, yes&mdash;and you may have some successful growth&mdash;but this isn&rsquo;t the ideal way to fill in sparse areas. By clearing leaves and debris, amending the soil, and aerating it properly before you lay the seeds, you&rsquo;re providing the most ideal conditions for them to germinate.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle lawn care myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth aerating a lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s worth aerating a lawn. Even the most diligent mowing, watering, and fertilizing schedule is not enough if the roots are not able to benefit from the care and nutrients you&rsquo;re giving them. Even a lawn that&rsquo;s already healthy can benefit from aeration because the more air that circulates around the roots, the stronger and healthier it will grow. </p></div>

Q: Should I pick up plugs after aerating?

• <div><p>Don't pick up or dispose of aeration plugs. They will break down by themselves in one or two weeks. Rainfall will speed this up, as will watering the lawn. Mowing helps, but don't mow the grass too soon post-aeration. It's unusual that the plugs would remain after three or four weeks, but mowing and raking will break them down by that point.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to hire a lawn service?

• <div><p>Hiring a lawn service company can free up your schedule for other tasks and ensure high-quality results. However, doing some of the maintenance yourself can reduce your monthly costs. Another factor to consider if it's worth it is whether you already own lawn equipment and tools you will need to keep your yard looking lush. Ultimately, it depends on your budget, schedule, and the type of tasks you need to complete. </p></div>

"Repair Clinic sent me a water intake valve that had some scuff marks and an unnecessary fixture (which I thought nothing of, assuming it had been removed from a new dishwasher). When the part did not fix my dishwasher's issue, I ordered a circulation pump, which also failed to fix the issue, so I decided to return both parts. Repair Clinic blamed me for the scuff marks and extra fixture, which is unacceptable. They referenced their return policy which states that parts which have been installed cannot be returned, and denied me any form of refund. For all I know, the water intake valve was defective, and I have no recourse. Don't put any stock in the "No-Hassle 365-Day Returns" they proudly tout on their homepage. Instead, expect finger-pointing and uncaring dismissal. You are better off with one of their many competitors."

Joe Torres Landscaping is a business started by Joe Torres Sr over 40yrs ago. Joe Torres Sr has been working with commercial and residential landscape design in all of greater Los Angeles. Joe Torres Jr came on after receiving his C-27 Landscaping license, & General B license. Joe Jr converted the Landscaping business into Jt. Torres Construction Development, a full construction business to meet every need on a project. Whether the work on a project is needed for interior or exterior, Joe and His crew are more than capable to meet any expectations.

"I’m reluctantly writing this review. Joe and his team installed a fence on our residential property not quite four years ago at a cost of $30,000.00. I was initially disappointed with the planning and execution of the fence. The staggering of the panels on the property grade was erratic and haphazard. The height of the fence along the grade varies significantly from panel to panel. Over time, parts of the fence have come loose and have fallen off. The fence currently leans and panels are skewed. One portion of the fence, about four panels, was so significantly compromised I asked Joe to look into repairing it, he responded that repair would cost $2,000.00. I declined having him do the repair. Joe is a nice guy and responsive. And as I mentioned, I reluctantly write this, but I do want to warn any future customers of Joe that you may not be pleased with the work."
