"Juan and Jose worked with us a few years ago. Once we bought our new home they were the first on our list to call for landscaping needs. They installed new entryway, spring clean up etc. As always, they were professional, good communication, flexible and punctual. The finished product was the envy of my neighborhood. If you are looking for reliable, hard working, professional and flexible landscapers Juan and Jose are the ones to call. At this point they are like family. They are currently providing landscaping services for me biweekly. My lawn is looking great! Thank you and the crew for an amazing walkway and entry way."

"I had an issue with the underground sprinkler system not watering my front yard garden. A service provider came out almost immediately and determined that the sprinkler heads were embedded in the dirt and grass. They were identified and freed from the lawn and now the garden is receiving good water regularly. Thank you Water Works."

"Omar did an amazing job on my mother's backyard. It was a major project with concrete removal, paver installation, drain relocation, new sod and a new garden. The quality of work that was provided was exceptional. Omar kept in contact with me during the process and went above on beyond to give my mother a backyard she can be proud of, and his price was great for the amount of work he had to do. I strongly recommend Omar for your landscaping needs."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

You may need to lay sod on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about 30 to 45 days for the sod to take root. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.

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.

Water regularly, avoid heavy foot traffic, and clear debris promptly to support lawn health.

How often you should maintain your yard depends on your climate and what season it is. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a lawn height of three inches.
