"Yelsom Landscaping did an amazing job on our yard. Our hedges were overgrown and filled with weeds. Once the job was completed, I was beyond satisfied. Yelsom was very professional and completed the job in a timely manner. I highly recommend Yelsom Landscaping for lawn services."
"Daniel is easy to work with. He showed up when he promised and even though my project was much larger than originally envisioned, he completed the job in the original time frame. I'm pleased with his work and will use his service again if needed."
"Sean was an absolute pro and helped us out with our sprinkler system after our home was struck by lightning. We was able to diagnose the problem quickly and get the appropriate parts. Very happy with his help and the final product. Highly recommend."
"They install lawn maintainance. It was okay… They move out a ouk tree. They were very good but they put the hebris to my Neighbor. She is unsatisfied. The branches are there from Saturday to Monday. Maybe they move out this on Tuesday ??? Tomorrow ??? I have now trubbels with my Neighbor. I am in a bad Situation. I hope Tomorrow Tuesday Everything is okay????"
"Accidentally when I call for service he was doing the work in the area where I live so he offered a little bit lower rate. I do not know how much the rate would be if he has to drive to my place from somewhere ( I am sure will be higher). The quality of work is good and fast."
"Fabulous experience with this highly qualified contractor. He is the fix all go-to person. We are real estate agents who handle many properties. This job was replacing large tiles on floor, painting, carpentry work and minor interior repairs. All done professionally in a quick timely manner."
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.
Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.
While minimal, maintenance includes periodic brushing, debris removal, and potential infill replacement if excessive use causes compaction.
