"Excellent! Xtracare did a great job beautifying our front yard! This was our second time for a big project with Xtracare and they delivered. For this project, we asked them to design a conservation garden using native plants that would qualify for the Montgomery County Rainscapes program rebate. We appreciated the design and careful consideration Angela made to provide us with native plants that would work well with our existing property. We really felt like she gave it her personal touch. Thank you Angela! We were also very grateful to Tim and the crew for the fine work and attention they gave to install the project. Thank you also to Mari and Raquel for their helpful communications, which made things work so smoothly. And lastly, thank you to Cleber for visiting us at the beginning and end of the project and seeing it through. We had total confidence in their company and felt we made the right decision to work with you once again. We are very proud of our new front yard and are receiving many compliments from neighbors."

"Lily and her crew did an amazing job re-landscaping our backyard. The previous homeowners had an unsightly mix of bushes and shrubs, a brick wall that cut into the usable yard space, and stone/rock work that didn’t match the brick patio. Lily and her team removed everything, fixed the area where the patio had been damaged by a neighboring tree, laid a new brick path matching the existing patio, and plant new ground cover in the yard. Lily listened to exactly what we talked envisioned and made it happen!! Our yard looks amazing and we couldn’t be happier. The price was also very reasonable and the work was done promptly. Seriously couldn’t have had a better experience! Thank you!!!"

"RD7 took on a huge task in getting my parentsâ yard in shape so we could sell it. They trimmed and shaped all the plants and hedges, weeded and mulched, mowed the lawn and hauled away an enormous pile of rotting firewood stacked in the backyard. I never imagined the yard could look that good. So happy with the work."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

If you don’t remove a bush properly, it’ll come back each year. Removing the root system entirely is the only way to ensure the plant doesn’t have a chance to grow back. You can also use natural weed killers or you can choose to suppress the area with landscaping fabric. Additionally, consider planting alternative, non-invasive vegetation to deter the return of thorn bushes.

To eliminate waste without polluting, consider whether it can be recycled, reused, or donated. However, hazardous waste, such as chemicals or electronics, requires special handling and disposal to prevent it from polluting landfills. Organic waste can be composted or converted into fuel at a biogas generation facility.

If your dog always does their business in the yard, daily poop pick-up makes sense. The nitrogen in the poop can start making its way into the grass and surrounding soil quickly, a rain shower can send the waste into waterways, and less poop lying around means less chance of stepping on it accidentally.
