"Idol landscaping has been doing my yard all summer long and has went above and beyond with maintenance and lawn care in this unpredictable weather. 10/10 would recommend."
"I hired Severo for ongoing mowing/edging/bush trimming. I am VERY happy with his services. Before I hired him, he came by and we talked about what I wanted (I especially wanted a lawn with a clean edge). He gave me a firm price for everything and returned as agreed to do the work. Severo and his team take pride in their work and went above and beyond what was promised. All grass and bush clippings were removed. He even filled in the dog holes and cleaned out the window wells. My yard now looks absolutely wonderful, and the edging turned out exactly how I wanted it (thank you!). Excellent value too. My neighbor has now hired him too."
"Extremely happy with the work Caleb and his crew did removing a very large tree, Very prompt returning phone calls, shows up on time and did the work quickly and neatly! I will be hiring C and S Land Management for all my tree and landscaping needs! His prices are reasonable and fair!"
"They have a great team of workers. Professional work was the hallmark of this project. My sprinkler system is up and running covering the entire front yard. Kind and courteous personnel who followed up their installation with care and concern. I would hire them again."
"It has worked out so well for me and my family. And yeah, please do it all day. Please let me know if I can help. Please let me know when I get home, and I will be home in the next few days. Please let me know when I can get you. Please let me know when I get back. Please let me know if I need anything else. Please let me know if I can get you a text or text me or text or call me when I can."

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
Experts remove leaves methodically, preventing mold and allowing sunlight to strengthen grass, promoting robust growth.
It may not be worth it to rake every leaf in your yard, but it’s necessary to remove the majority of leaves to prevent them from smothering grass growth on your lawn. However, raking leaves isn’t your only option for leaf removal. You can remove leaves easily with a leaf blower or compost or mulch them with your lawn mower to repurpose them to help grow your garden or yard.
The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).
Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.
