"Hiring SLC Landscaping was the best decision. Carey and his crew were professional yet down to earth. They showed up when they said. They worked hard to get the job done. Carey(the Owner) was helpful, pointing me in the right direction so that my project turned out just like I wanted. He didn't tell me what to do, just offered ideas.
They zero scaped my entire front yard. Which included trimming bushes, new drip system, and helping me with the design I wanted. It's beautiful. My neighbor's even commented about how good it looks and how hard they work. I will definitely be using this company in the future for any work I need in my yard. I would give them 10 Stars if I could."
"Absolutely awesome company to work with. My husband and I are both handicapped and wanted a maintenance fee yard. After speaking with Alex and Jacob, we now have the yard of our dreams. We consulted before, during and even after the work was completed. I cannot recommend them highly enough if you’re looking for quality work. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project!"
"Victor was great cleaning out our rain gutters! It wasn't an easy job. He even came back a second time to finish where there was ice the first time. He is very pleasant to work with. Good price (I actually paid him extra for making a second trip though he said I didn't need to.) Good value for the money is hard to find these days. Good luck, Victor and crew! See you next year!"
"Argenis and his crew take pride in their work. In addition to my lawn mowing done bi-weekly, I also had him do bush trimming and weed removal. The yard came out great. After winter he will be back taking care of my yard. He even does sprinklers and was able to help me with one that wasn't working properly. Thanks Argenis for all your help."
"Great service and results. Manuel replied quickly and came the next day and got our sprinklers fixed. He also helped removed an electric pump from my irrigation line. He also provided me a contact for cutting lawns. Highly recommended!!"
"He was on time. The work was completed in the same day it began, as he said it would. Holes were filled and sod was returned to voids created for new lines."
Several leaf-removal tools are available to make this annual process easier, including a leaf grabber, leaf tarps, leaf blowers, and leak vacuums. Each piece of equipment works differently, but they all achieve the same goal of picking up leaves as quickly and easily as possible.
In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it’s difficult for the mower to cut through.
Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).
But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.
Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
