"Mr. Harris and his crew performed a very thorough yard cleanup for us involving removal of leaves, branches, and gum burrs. They removed tangled vines all along the top of the fence in addition to those vines between the slats of the fence. There was also the removal of a small tree. Their work was timely, thorough and professional. I couldn't be happier. Look forward to this company maintaining our lawn throughout the year."
"This summer's weather proved challenging to get our back yard re-landscaped. Rainy weather caused several delays but once things finally cleared, Baumann's crew came in force and did a beautiful landscaping of our back yard, including installing a sprinkler to keep things growing while we were away, installing a downspout drain, and adding pavers and a small stone patio. They also did a massive clean up of our yard, clearing out weeds, thinning out bushes, and replacing the mulch. We don't look like we live in the jungle anymore. For general yard clean-up and maintenance, these guys are great and punctual."
"Riveras Landscaping LLC Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance I am very impressed with the work of Rivera’s Landscaping. They responded immediately to my request for an estimate for leave clean-up, gutter clean-up, and gutter repair. Edwin arrived promptly the next day. He gave me an estimate that was reasonable and offered to clean the gutters and fix the gutters on the spot that day while arranging for the leave clean-up the following week. He did a great job on both items. I appreciated that Edwin responded to my weather-related concern to get the leave clean-up done earlier. He somehow squeezed me into his busy schedule to avoid the upcoming inclement weather forecast for our arranged day. Edwin maintains great communication so you know what is going on. He did an outstanding job on the leave clean-up blowing, raking, and bagging. My yard was impeccable. He also fixed the mortar missing in my chimney, something he had noticed when he fixed my gutters. Edwin learned that he also does snow removal so I got on his list for that. I am happy to have a reliable and great resource for this winter. If you want meticulous attention to any yard/house task at affordable rates, I highly recommend Rivera’s Landscaping. Dec 21, 2022"
"It has been a month since I got out of the Hospital. I am on limited activities. As a result I cannot do lawn maintenance. Enter Erick Garcia of Garcia Landscape. He was able to respond back with a reasonable quote in getting my lawn mowed before winter. I would recommend him to anyone that need home services. His numbers are 240-410-8349 or 240-484-2663"
"Mr. Jay Porter was extremely professional. He removed all the weeds from my flower beds, cut the shrubs, added rocks and planted an array of beautiful plants which enhanced the outdoor area and gave my home great curb appeal. I recommend this company for hire. Their workmanship is impeccable. They leave your place spotkess. They are the best and are affordable as well."
"Paradise is a great grass-cutting operation. He requires specific instructions which he carries out to the letter. Shaun came in and beautifully transformed my weed-dense, jungle of a back yard. Please note, he is NOT your gardener/landscaper guy. I still have to hire that person. Shaun was courteous, on time, professional. I would hire him for grass cutting again."
"We needed our yard aerated and seeded for fall . Within 2 weeks I had new grass growing .I would recommend Maryland Decking for any of your outdoor needs."
Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.
Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.
In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.
It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen.
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.
