"Abel and his crew did a Fall cleanup of my front and back yard yesterday. They were thorough and paid attention to my requests with regard to trimming. Their pricing was competitive, but reasonable for the work being done. I canâ t wait for them to come back and maintain the lawn every two weeks! Iâ m so glad I found Santos Landscaping!"
"Had him come out and grade a storm water drainage ditch. Arrived on time, mowed the overgrowth in and around the ditch, graded the bottom so it would drain better. My yard hasn?t retained water/flooded since! Reasonably priced out of the 4 different quotes I got for this work."
"I had a great experience! He did an excellent job cutting my grass and made my yard look so much better. He was professional, paid attention to detail, and made sure everything was cleaned up before he left. The mowing, edging, and weed eating were all done with care, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. His pricing was fair, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone reliable who does quality lawn care, I would definitely recommend him. I’ll be using his services again!"
"Ryan showed professionalism in performing several projects to include subfloor replacement and laminate install in bathroom and kitchen as well as installing insulation in the attic. He is a hard worker and has knowledge of most any needs of install, repairs or yard debris removal and maintenance."
"Abel and the guys at Santos are amazing. Always professional, courteous, and consistently timely. Have never missed a cut, and the yard and shrubs always look great. Abel is trustworthy and always available for your needs….whatever they are. Would absolutely recommend this company."
"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."
Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.
A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.
In general, you can prune up to one third of the height of most shrubs without damaging them. There are a few exceptions to this rule: Pine shrubs, for example, can’t be trimmed below the point of new growth without damaging them.
Dawn dish soap is typically too abrasive to use on plants, even when diluted with water. The soap contains detergents that can strip away a plant's natural waxes and oils, which are there to protect the leaves.
Should you decide to make your own soap spray insecticide, it's important to choose a gentle soap that doesn't contain detergents or surfactants. Castile soap, such as Dr. Bronner’s, is a good pick.
You’ll need to kill the earwigs using traps or insecticides, and then prevent them from entering your home. Make sure you fix leaks and seal up all cracks and crevices. You can use a dehumidifier to cut the moisture and drive earwigs out.
