Frequently Asked Questions

Mulch regulates soil temperature during hot months and retains moisture, reducing evaporation stress on plants. It also suppresses weeds and prevents erosion in residential beds. At LG Landscape Services, we often pair mulching with planting to support long-term plant health in Southern California's dry climate.

Drip irrigation can be installed year-round, but spring and fall are ideal before peak heat or rainy seasons begin. Proper timing ensures plants establish healthier root systems while conserving water. We customize layouts based on plant type and yard conditions to maximize efficiency.

Pooling usually results from poor grading, compacted soil, or inadequate drainage systems. Correcting slope and elevation prevents standing water that can damage lawns and foundations. At LG Landscape Services, we assess yard contours and integrate grading with drainage solutions for lasting stability.

Artificial grass eliminates mowing, watering, and fertilizing, offering year-round green appearance with minimal upkeep. Natural turf requires routine care suited to Southern California grass types and growing conditions. Artificial turf is popular in Anaheim for water savings and reduced long-term maintenance costs.

We select trees, shrubs, and flowers based on local soil conditions, sun exposure, and water efficiency needs. Proper plant selection supports long-term health and reduces irrigation demands. Planting is often coordinated with grading and irrigation to ensure optimal growth in Anaheim's environment.

Yes, decorative pebbles enhance drainage when installed with proper base preparation, preventing water accumulation in pathways and borders. They're also low-maintenance and water-conscious, making them popular in Anaheim landscapes. We often pair pebble installs with artificial grass or planting beds for modern outdoor spaces.

Clear the yard of furniture, toys, and obstacles to allow full site access. Mark any existing irrigation lines or utilities if known. At LG Landscape Services, we provide project assessments to explain scope, timelines, and how grading will improve drainage and usability before work begins.

Drip systems deliver water directly to plant roots, minimizing waste and runoff compared to traditional sprinklers. This targeted approach supports conservation goals and aligns with local regulations. We design custom layouts that match Anaheim's dry climate and each property's specific planting needs.

Remove trees that are severely damaged, diseased, pose safety hazards, or interfere with structures and utilities. Trimming works for healthy trees needing shape or clearance. At LG Landscape Services, we assess tree condition and help homeowners decide the safest, most cost-effective option.

Cost depends on yard size, turf quality, base preparation, and drainage requirements. Proper installation with layered base materials ensures longevity and realistic appearance. We provide free consultations to evaluate your property and explain pricing based on materials and site-specific needs.

Grading timelines vary based on yard size, soil conditions, and project complexity, typically ranging from one to several days. Proper grading is essential before installing patios, sod, or hardscaping. We stay on-site throughout the project to ensure accuracy and address any adjustments needed.

Many overwater or mow too short, stressing grass and encouraging weeds in Southern California's year-round growing conditions. Proper care prevents patchy turf and drainage issues. At LG Landscape Services, we tailor maintenance schedules to local grass types and Anaheim's dry summers and mild winters.
