"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

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.

To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.

You can choose between weekly leaf removal services throughout the fall or a single cleanup at the end of the season. If you want to maintain a pristine lawn, weekly service is a good idea to keep up with falling leaves. Alternatively, if you prioritize saving money, you can wait until all or most of the trees on your property are bare and pay for a one-time service. In most areas, this is typically in early to mid-November. While a single service is more budget-friendly, your yard will not remain leaf-free for the entire season.

In most cases, it’s better to remove rocks before adding mulch. Layering the two will restrict drainage and plant health, and can create an unpleasant texture underfoot.

DIY is possible for small amounts of waste. Professional services handle larger volumes efficiently.
