Q: What factors affect lawn care costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.</p></div>

Q: Should I leave grass clippings on a new lawn?

• <div><p>You can leave grass clippings on the lawn, depending on their length. You don&rsquo;t want to completely cover new grass and block it from sunlight, or encourage moss crowd out the more delicate grass. However, short clippings are usually fine to leave on the lawn. In some cases, they can be beneficial: Clippings can be a source of fertilizer and help protect the ground as young grass blades develop.</p></div>

Q: Can poor lawn conditions affect home value?

• <div><p>Yes, especially for properties focusing on curb appeal. A well-maintained landscape supports visual and environmental attractiveness, potentially increasing desirability.</p></div>

Q: How sharp should lawn mower blades be?

• <div><p>Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.</p></div>

I would not recommend River Valley Tree Service to anyone. One of the largest in the area and his bid was not the lowest, but seemed fair. We agreed on 19 trees to be cut for $2500. The day of service came and went as he said one of his trucks was broken down. We had to reschedule twice...
