"I was extremely reluctant to install a drainage system to solve our backyard flooding issue but Ed convinced me. He was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel like our problem could finally get solved. A few months later we have a nice lawn for the first time since we bought the house!"

"They installed the irrigation system. The equipment they used chewed up my lawn!! I had to spend the balance of the fall attempting to recover from the chewed up lawn. Installation is average. I had to call them back to fix poor quality work. They did come back and do right by me."

"Had these guys install sod on my front lawn. They were awesome! Friendly, professional, respectful. They did a meticulous installation and cleanup and the cost was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend Angel and his team. They also do a variety of other outdoor projects that I will definitely look into."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

A land-clearing project begins with assessing and preparing the property and pulling any necessary permits with your municipal building department. Clearing can begin after the project details are ironed out between you and your pro and a written contract is signed. Pros will bring out the necessary equipment and crew to first remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. Your pro will then load up and haul away the project debris, and depending on the project, they may finish by grading the cleared land. 

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. 

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.

The most cost-effective approach to land clearing is DIY-ing what you can, such as removing brush, small saplings, and other more manageable tasks. Then, contact a tree cutting pro to finish the job for the larger vegetation and trees on your property. Get multiple quotes, look for off-season discounts, and scope out all your options to keep things as budget-friendly as possible.

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.
