"From the first estimate to the final cleanup, the whole experience was great! They were professional and showed up when they said they would. They completely transformed our yard with new landscaping, mulch beds, and trimming, and everything looks clean and polished. Fair pricing for the amount of work. We’ve already had neighbors asking who did our landscaping. Highly recommend!"

"Bruce was an amazing find. We moved into a house that has countless maintenance issues and noticed the irrigation pipe exiting the house had a large hole it in. The system had not been used in years. After getting two other estimates, Bruce stopped by and gave us an immediate diagnosis and estimate. For a fourth of the cost of Rainbow, Bruce repaired the main valve and had the sprinkler system working in an hour. Elite Irrigation said we needed to replace the entire system but Bruce was able to recognize that the only repair necessary was to the main valve piping. He walked me around the yard, showing where each zone and sprinkler head was, and how to adjust them. He also walked me through the control system, teaching me how to use all of its features. My experience with Bruce was better than I expected and I’ll definitely be calling him for future maintenance. Thanks Bruce!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.

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 least strenuous methods to get rid of leaves are to use a leaf blower, leaf vacuum, or a lawn mower, since these machines will do most of the work. 

The legality of blowing leaves into the street depends on your city or county laws. Many cities have codes that restrict blowing leaves into the street because it can obstruct the view of nearby drivers and make cars dirty, not to mention angering neighbors. Violations can result in a fine or other problems. You can check the codes on your municipal government website to learn more local guidelines, but avoid spraying leaves into streets for now.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.
