"Summer sweet landscaped our front yard from a plan that we had . Eric and crew were very accommodating changing out parts of the plan we wanted different. They were out working the job with in three weeks even with a couple weather delays. They did a great job. We have a dry river bed with bridge that crosses over it, a water feature in the court yard , and really great looking plants. Eric's crew was outstanding, they paid attention to all the details and made sure everything was done the right way."

"I felt the service was rushed. They almost left before trimming the roses which was the main reason for the service call. The shrubs needed major trimming but were left uneven with some of the larger limbs cut too high off the ground so they stand out. They also missed some obvious stragglers growing from the tree trunk, I asked if he could get those before he left, within not to long he was gone and didn?t do that bit. I am a perfectionist, so the work wasn?t up to my standards. I gave a three because Cisco was friendly and professional. They called quickly and gave a reasonably quote and had the work done within a few days."

"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

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.

As we know, leaving dog poop on your lawn can cause patching and even death of your grass. But, even if your yard is hardscaped, leaving dog poop lying around is unhygienic and smelly, and it’s an invitation for kids to trail it into the house on the soles of their shoes.

Weeds may grow back when pulled out if the root is not completely removed. Invasive weeds can regrow from just a small portion of remaining root, so using a weed-pulling tool can help ensure you remove the entire root. Weeds may grow back faster if roots aren’t fully removed, and incomplete removal could cause them to spread as well.

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.
