"Jose came by looked at the leaking sprinkler valve and provided his recommendation. He quickly replaced the valve and reduced the number of connections. He also diagnosed and replaced a couple sprinklers that were not covering the expected area. Highly recommend J&J Gardening."

"Manicure Gardening has been taking care of my yard for years now. I recently went on a multi-week vacation and was worried about my potted plants dying while I am gone. Sergio’s crew obligingly watered my MANY plants allowing me to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind."

"I needed to find new gardeners because mine moved. Edwin came and mowed both lawns, reprogrammed my irrigation system because the programming had been erased by a power outage, and trimmed a tree that was hanging over my fence. I will continue to use him going forward either weekly or every other week as needed for yard maintenance. I also found the price very reasonable."

"I had an amazing experience with Nextera Landscape Solutions. I spoke to Noe and requested a quote and received a quote within minutes. I asked how quickly they could start and a worker was able to come out within hours. My sprinkler system was a mess and multiple sprinkler heads were broken and many parts of my lawn wasn’t being watered at all. As a result, much of my lawn had died. Miguel assessed my entire system and found remedies to ensure my entire lawn was watered. I’m getting ready to seed the lawn, so I am over the moon happy with the work Miguel did and Noe was extremely easy to work with as well. I would definitely work with them again."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Santa Clara, CA

Hiring a professional saves you time and can actually save you money in the long run. Without regular care, your lawn might develop problems like thatch buildup, diseases, or pests, which can be expensive to fix. A pro keeps your lawn healthy, so you can enjoy it without the hassle.

Mowing your lawn yourself is generally cheaper than paying someone to do it. While a lawn mower can cost between $80 and $2,500 depending on the type, professional mowing services charge between $30 and $80 per visit. Investing in your own mower means that over time, you can save money by handling the mowing yourself, especially if you maintain your lawn regularly.

While the wording may vary from company to company, lawn maintenance typically includes all the services that keep your current healthy lawn looking sharp. Think mowing, watering, weeding, and a spring or fall cleanup.

Lawn care digs a bit deeper. These packages may include services that elevate your lawn's health or address an issue throughout the year. Fertilization, pest and weed control, and dethatching all fall into this category.

There is no set-in-stone schedule for mowing your lawn, as each grass variety grows at a different rate depending on the season. Once you determine the type of grass in your lawn and its ideal height, aim to remove no more than the top third of the blade at a time to retain its healthy structure.

In the high growing season, this will likely break down to about once a week, which is why lawn care specialists often offer weekly plans.

Don’t mow your grass if it hasn’t grown more than one-third of its height since you last cut it. For example, if you want grass no more than 2 inches, don’t mow it until it’s 3 inches. Don’t cut your grass when wet, as it clumps together and places more stress on your mower’s blades and makes it harder for the sun to reach the turf. This can lead to mold or disease. Conversely, don’t mow when it’s too dry. But, if you do, be sure to raise your mower’s deck height by about half an inch to encourage slower growth.

Yes, landscaping can significantly add value to your home. High-quality landscape design offers a return on investment of 20% to 30%. A well-maintained lawn and attractive outdoor spaces enhance your property's curb appeal and market value, making it more appealing to potential buyers when you decide to sell.
