Treating clients right with the Greenway Promise, our process-driven company strives to be the best landscaping services provider in Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, CA and the surrounding areas of North County San Diego! Family owned and operated for over 30 years, our responsive and clear communication from start to finish means you will always know where your project stands. We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and safe job site and we will never leave a mess behind at the end of the work day. Once your landscaping project is complete, we'll do a detailed walkthrough so you'll know how to maintain your new outdoor living space and then follow-up after 90 days to be sure things are still in great condition!

"I do not usually give bad reviews but greenway was very poor with their service and was way overpriced. I hired Greenway for a side yard work. The job was to install two sets of steps with stones and install ground covers and optimize the existing irrigation at my home. There were two medium-sized pine trees that I wanted to be removed. The quote they gave had over $2500 just to cut the two trees leaving the stumps behind. I requested them to take that item off the request. I could have this done for less than $400 with another company. In hindsight I should have backed off and not allowed them to work on my yard at all. That was a clue to how overpriced they were. However, we decided to give them a chance. They finished the work fast, but had to redo the steps with stone because the steps started coming off within 2 days Initially they had this done by a subcontractor. Greenway redid it because it was that bad and unsafe to walk on. The rest of the work was mediocre at best, and way overpriced for what they did. I just want to share my experience so that others do not fall for the 30years of experience that this company boasts. I have to say that the owners and the workers were very professional and friendly throughout the project which earns them 3 stars."

SD’s Finest Landscaping llc is a full service landscaping company. We specialize in lawn care and maintenance. Full service tree trimming and removal, hedge trimming, complete yard clean up and design, irrigation problems, mulching, planting, and haul aways.

"Completely ruined my grass and killed my existing roses. They sprayed weed killer everywhere and we’re not careful. We have had 3 landscapers come out to our house who all said the work was awful. Within 3 days, weeds were already growing through the DG they put out. They did not flatten and ensure the DG was solid. They just laid out sand and was sloppy. They planted the plants I purchased and didn’t use the soil I purchased. When I approach them, it was someone that was hired that day who was out of work who told me he doesn’t normally do this and doesn’t know what he’s doing. Well, the plants I purchased all died. They also messed up my irrigation. Everything needs to be redone."

Lawn care aerations FAQs

Aeration is the best way to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant. Annual aeration makes your lawn more breathable and helps nutrients reach the roots, improving water absorption and reducing puddles where pests might breed. However, timing matters. It's best to avoid aerating during droughts, extreme heat, or if your lawn is battling weeds. A local pro can help you determine the ideal time for your yard.

Most lawns benefit from annual aeration to keep them healthy and thriving. If your lawn has a lot of thatch buildup—more than half an inch—you might need to aerate twice a year for a couple of years to get it under control. But if your soil isn't compacted and there's minimal thatch, you might be able to skip a year.

When you hire a professional lawn care company, a standard 10,000-square-foot lawn takes about 30 minutes to aerate. Uneven, sloped, or especially large lawns can take significantly more time. So, depending on your lawn's size and condition, the process can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours.

The best time to aerate your lawn is during the spring or fall when your grass is actively growing and the soil has enough moisture. Aerating once in the spring and once in the fall yields the best results. Avoid aerating when your lawn is dormant or right after heavy rain when the soil is too wet—that can make aeration less effective.

Even if your lawn looks healthy, aeration can still be beneficial. If you have good growth, proper drainage, and little thatch, you might not need to aerate right away. Regular aeration helps water and nutrients reach the roots, keeping your lawn strong over time. Keep an eye on your lawn's condition to decide when it might need aeration.
