MYTHBUSTING! common landscaping myths - debunked.

Myth #1

SHORTER GRASS IS BETTER

In reality, cutting grass too short can stress the grass, causing it to grow back faster and need more frequent mowing. Additionally, grass cut too short can turn brown and become more susceptible to damage from heat, pests, and diseases.

Myth #2

TREES ARE JUST FOR LOOKS

Trees aren't just for looks; they provide significant practical benefits. They can have a cooling effect equivalent to about 10 room air conditioners running for 20 hours a day. Strategically placed trees in your yard can create shade, reducing temperatures and offering substantial relief during California's heat.

Myth #3

YOU CAN WATER YOUR LAWN ANY TIME OF THE DAY

Avoid watering your lawn at random times. The best time to water is in the early morning. Watering at night leads to moisture sitting on your lawn, increasing the risk of mold, mildew, and fungal growth. By watering in the morning, your lawn absorbs the necessary moisture and has ample time to dry out during the day, promoting a healthier yard.
