We are Carmelo landscaping LLC. We provide a professional and safe service. Businesses started back in 2012 by Carmelo himself and still working with the crew to help bring the best. We service the Tri state area, mainly Chester County & Delco
"Carmelo and Miguel did a superb job at removing leaves from our yard. We took advantage of the "deal" for 2 hours of work by 2 men, and prioritized the most important areas to focus on. Carmelo and Miguel were terrific, they worked hard to get as much done as possible within the time frame, and were very amenable to focusing on the main areas we requested help with. One thing we did not realize was that the time required to take the leaves to the disposal area needed to come out of the total time allotted, so we weren't able to get everything completed as we had hoped, but the job was well done, and the price paid was worth hiring someone to do it. Definitely would like to employ their service in the future."

I service and install Lawn sprinkler systems of all sizes From small residential to large commercial jobs. I strive too too all my customers the best their is in the industry I have been doing this for 22 years I only install the top of the line material, with a great warranty.
"This family owned business takes its business very seriously. They are very responsive to customers and potential customers. I would go so far as to say their business is a vocation. We interviewed three other companies and Drew Harp far and away had the best price and provided a large number of variable sprinkler heads for different areas of the yard. They showed up when they said they would show up and completed the job quickly and expertly. They explained all our options and provided us with a quick written estimate . We were reluctant about putting in a lawn sprinkler system because there are so many fly by night companies. Drew Harp are total professionals. They are reliable, reasonable, responsive and really value their customers. They did an excellent job and we are very happy. Best of all, our lawn is very happy. Thank you Drew Harp."

"After going through a horrific experience with A& Y Landscaping, I would NOT recommend to anyone. BUYERS BEWARE. In the beginning, I looked at the reviews posted and seeing they got good rating, decided to go ahead and contract them- to regrade my front lawn, put in topsoil, put in grass seeds. Outcome was a hacked job, so many bald spots in different areas. I had to make many persistent daily phone calls for Adolfo to come out to see for himself , It took several weeks for the crew to come out and reseed, and at the same time throwing fertilizer which by that time was a bit too late, as crabgrass and the new batch of grass seed was sprouting in the bald areas Had they, from the beginning, put in enough grass seed to cover the lawn, instead of doing it sparingly, this crabgrass issue would not have happened. Now the lawn has 70% of the crabgrass. 'eating' up the good grass This contractor by name of Adolfo has no business ethics, flip flops in his statements, a pathological liar and gives stories and excuses to suit his narrative. Good thing I did not pay full amount of $2,250 up front on the first day, which he demanded. The 2nd payment was made to lure him out to see for himself the job his crew did. The shortcuts the crew did to save their resources backfired as evidenced of crabgrass /bald spots . I consulted a real professional and reputable company that is in business for many many years to analyze and evaluate the lawn, and his findings were the same result from the research I did on the internet - which was to wait till first Frost for crabgrass to die naturally before remedial steps can be taken; In addition, this reputable company stated: That pre-emergent crabgrass control should be used during seeding process ; failure to do so can allow extensive crabgrass to germinate and overtake the thin unestablished lawn. Post emergent can and should be used during all new lawn installation. It is not advisable to kill crabgrass with weed killer in this hot season, as it will also kill the good grass, which Adolfo was suggesting to do, on top of throwing in more grass seed. It would be futile effort as grass seed CANNOT grow in July. From his statement, it goes to show he has very little knowledge in his line of business. Any professional and reputable landscaper would know about the pre and post emergent application He tries to build his company's image through lies, telling me that his company has been in business for 10 years, but his website stated that he started his business in 2019 with his brother, which i have yet to come across. One would think that with this major headache , his brother would come out to intervene. I can go on and on about all his lies and excuses, bottom line is- I will not want anybody to go through what i went through-having shouting match every time I talk to him . This Adolfo does not stand behind his company. he thinks he can get away with a hacked job and full payment."

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.
You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.
Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.
The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
