"Derek and his team were great. We did have a mixture of grass used in the yard because we added a section. They had to use a mix in the main part of the yard because they used the Tall Fescue in the added section instead of the main yard."

"Del Rio's Landscaping did a WONDERFUL job on our garden pathways. They were prompt, professional and did an excellent job. In fact I am hiring them to put in a garden walk way on the other side of my house. Highly recommend them! Brian and Jennifer Gosizk Barrington, Illinois"

"Turf care did a great job of repairing/revitalizing my damaged lawn. I have 2 big dogs, so I appreciated the fact that they use milder/less harmful products. So, while it did take a number of trips before I began to see positive results, I'm quite happy with the way my yard looked at the end of the season, I have renewed the contract for 2020"

"Excellent work. Kaitlyn and her crew put in a sprinkler system for our new landscape project that included parkways, yard and a large number of plantings. She put in the system before the plantings were done and made a number of adjustments after the landscaping to ensure everything was watered appropriately. It works well and is extremely easy to use. I highly recommend Autorain and will use them again as our landscaping grows into other areas of our yard."

"Kevin was great, I was worried it would come down during the winds and winter and my dogs would get out of the yard. They fixed it and the fence is not going any where nor are my dogs. Kevin is booked until July but came out for me. My great thanks to the Veteran"

"The installation of our new home’s sprinkler system in 1990 was flawless. After the installation American National Sprinkler turned our system on in the spring, drained & shut down in the fall, and serviced our system for 30 years. Pricing was always fair. I never felt like they were trying to overcharge. Their service employees were always professional, courteous, and prompt. Customer service was the same and helpful. Our lawn always looked GREAT. Friends, and family always asked why - my response was fertilizing but mostly due to my AMERICAN NATIONAL sprinkler system."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The time that it takes to fill in a pool with dirt varies based on the size of the pool and the equipment you have available. Using heavy equipment, like an excavator rather than a shovel, will significantly cut down on the time it takes to complete the project. With the right equipment, it may only take a day or two. However, after the initial filling, the dirt will continue to settle over the following weeks and months. You may need to add more dirt to make the empty area level with the rest of the yard.

Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided. The amount you should tip depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between $10 and $100 per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs.

To prepare your yard for river rocks, smaller rocks may require laying landscape fabric to keep the stones from sinking into the ground while encouraging proper water drainage. You should also clear the land of weeds and larger boulders and, in some cases, test the density of the soil to ensure it can handle the weight.

If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a professional junk removal service. A small truckload of junk removal costs between $75 and $125 to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.
