"My sprinkler system required extensive repair from years of neglect. Pacific Lawn performed the work reliably and with expert precision. They kept me apprised of all the costs involved every step of the way. The job required 3 separate visits and I didnâ t pay a dime until the whole job was completed. The company owner completed the job himself and it was pretty dirty! I strongly recommend this service."
"Although they were a bit higher in their estimate from others we received, we weighed the scope, experience, and reviews of this company and their proposal, and went with Automatic Irrigation. Scott estimated the job, and his workers returned to complete the job in a timely and professional manner. Our lawn was minimally disturbed during the process. We are pleased with the job."
"Charlie and his boys did an amazing job with my yard! It's never looked like this in the 30+ years my family has had this house. My neighbors are even walking by and are so surprised how beautiful it looks. I'll just say, I'm glad I trusted him because he did not let me down. Straightforward guy and will deliver what he promises. They worked really hard for 3 weekends straight, and I have no regrets. Thanks Charlie"
"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."
"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."
You’ll need to kill the earwigs using traps or insecticides, and then prevent them from entering your home. Make sure you fix leaks and seal up all cracks and crevices. You can use a dehumidifier to cut the moisture and drive earwigs out.
Yes, if your home is poorly maintained and has weeds and overgrowth, it can affect your home appraisal and lower the value. Home buyers want to see a well-kept home, and if yours lacks curb appeal whether inundated by weeds or not, you could be neglecting the potential for it to reach its full value.
Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.
For minor unevenness, you don't necessarily need to remove grass before leveling. You can apply a topdressing mixture to fill in low areas and even out the surface. However, for more significant unevenness or deep depressions, it might be necessary to temporarily remove the grass to ensure proper leveling and soil compaction. After filling and leveling, you can replace the grass or consider reseeding the area.
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.
