"It all started with the 2025 snowcrete. We got married and moved into a house with a garage that opens to a back alley. We didn't know Arlington County wouldn't shovel snow in the alley; our cars were locked in the garage for 3 weeks. We decided to build a driveway in front of the house to be safe for the following years. After a lot of research, we chose Xtra Care Landscaping because their price was reasonable, they seemed knowledgeable, they presented a design that wouldn't damage the appearance of the house (actually, it ended up enhancing it), and they had many Brazilians on their team (a bonus!). Our choice of Xtra Care Landscaping proved to be the right choice! Cleber, Xtra Care’s owner, proposed several additions to enhance the landscaping. We ended up with an almost 6-month project, involving many contractors all managed by Xtra Care: • Manufactured a new porch railing that matched the house porch • Applied for and tracked through to approval for the Arlington County per"

"They showed up when they said they would. They raked leaves front and back and put them in bags by the curb rather than piling them on the front lawn. A couple days later they were picked up on our regular trash day"

"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."

In this project, we transformed a bare dirt area by using Blue Ice stone in the corner. Along the patio border, we added Delaware River Jack to seamlessly connect the entire stone bed around the pool.

"I have extensive damage to my lawn due to moles, so I needed to have the whole lawn reseeded. I decided to have the lawn aerated with their two direction aerator and then seeded. They said your lawn would be thick come spring time and would have very few if any weeds. They were right, grass even grew in shaded areas that would never take shade seed. They left you with a small bag of sun seed and small bag of shade seed to touch up any areas that need some attention. Very happy with the results. I used a little of the shade seed in the spring and that was all."

"MC Landscaping did a fantastic job with our lawn! We were dealing with a lot of water erosion, and they suggested ideas to fix the issues while creating a beautiful space that blended with other landscaping. The owner was super responsive to our questions, visited the site multiple times to check in on the work, and made sure our needs were met. They offered top quality services at reasonable prices. We were so pleased with the work that we had them come back for additional work and recommended them to our neighbors. If you’re looking for someone to provide creative solutions for your landscaping, I’d highly recommend MC Landscaping!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Cut your lawn a bit shorter before the winter, typically between 2 and 2½ inches, depending on the variety of grass. On average, the best height to cut grass typically falls between 2 and 3 inches throughout the year. Aim for the shorter side of this range when you mow for the last time of the year to avoid common winter lawn diseases and moisture issues.

One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they’re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.

Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.

Many experts say anytime before 10 a.m. is a good time to water grass, but this does depend a bit on the climate conditions where you live. For example, if you live in South Florida and it’s already 95 degrees by 7:30 a.m., it may simply be too hot to effectively water your lawn, regardless of what the time is.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.
