"Bob and his team are terrific. Bob has done my yard and lawn care for several years now, and he is consistently wonderful. Always responsive and very flexible, putting up with my occasionally idiosyncratic requests, and always willing to work creatively as my husband and I are trying to reclaim a rather unruly back yard as we shift from a lawn to shade plants. Bob is awesome!"

"In addition to replacing a stockade fence, Arelio & crew demolished an empty garden shed, established a 4-foot edge for plants, and installed a paver patio in the middle of the back yard. They also replaced the steps from the enclosed porch to the back yard. Great job for a reasonable price -- very efficient (working late on the last day to complete job AND clean up). Would definitely hire them again."

"I hired Elmer and his crew to rehabilitate my landscaping after I purchased a new home. (I discovered that the developer filled a lot of the yard with stone dust, so the sod died. Also, the developer dumped a lot of dyed woodchips in the yard.) Elmer was very honest about the strengths and weaknesses about the existing landscaping. He and his crew removed the stone dust and replaced it with rich soil. They reseeded the yard and provided me with instructions about how to maintain the seeds so they would germinate. They replaced the bad dyed woodchips with more natural mulch, and they replaced dead plantings with live plantings that were more suited to the site. Overall, they did a great job. I would definitely hire them again for any future landscaping."

"There were two HUGE (one was three trees grown together- we are talking Tree of Life from Animal Kingdom) trees right between my house and the neighbors- one that had a tree sized branch split off and balanced on other branches. Lopez fit me in for a quote quickly. After obtaining several quotes I went with Lopez. They scheduled my work quickly and showed up promptly on day of treegate 2020. The gentlemen were respectful and careful about the properties. There were 2 houses, a garage, a 9 foot hedge, and a fence around the trees to be removed and the work was wonderful. They were very careful and it was amazing to watch! They had to maneuver around all those obstacles to remove the trees. They also shaped and crowned several other large trees in my yard on the same day. They were finished with all of that work by 5:30 pm and left my yard and the neighbors in great condition with all debris removed and raked. I will be using this company again for any and all landscaping or tree work I need in the future!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Yes, many services offer environmentally friendly disposal options.

Small amounts of geese are actually good for the environment. They help spread seeds and lead to more plant growth, but they’re often an invasive species, particularly Canadian geese. This means a small gaggle can quickly grow into a level that litters your lawn with bald patches and excrement.

The fastest way to rid your yard of pesky stickers or burs is to go mechanical on them with a lawn mower or garden rake. Use a lawnmower with a bagger attachment to avoid spreading the seeds around and causing a bigger issue. If you choose to rake the stickers off the plants, be sure to dispose of them properly. Avoid putting them in with the composting and check local guidelines for disposing of lawn waste.

In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn’s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. 

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.
