"Marcie and the team at Jones Lawn are true professionals. Friendly, affordable, on time, and they do great work. Iâ d recommend them to anybody. Thereâ s no better feeling than NOT having to worry about anything, and the yard always looking perfect. They started out taking care of my older mothers yard, and they now do 3 of my properties, I think that says it all!!"

"Amador and Green Touch Lawn Care did a wonderful job on my front yard. It was filled with patches of weeds that were going to turn into foxtails and prickly spikes. They de-weeded/uprooted everything and then carefully tilled my entire front yard and surrounding areas. It is now ready to plant a new lawn and further landscaping. They don’t know this yet but I’m going to see if they can fit me in for another job (tree removal) because they did such a great one the first time. Highly recommend."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice brown patches where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

You can mow a lawn the wrong way by cutting off more than ⅓ of the grass's height, causing stress to the lawn and weak roots. If you don't cut your grass often enough, you’ll get weeds and cause damage to your mower and grass. But if you regularly mow your lawn and create straight lines in alternating directions, you’ll see great results.

The process to winterize your landscaping depends on the plants you have, but generally speaking, you should rake your lawn to avoid leaves from smothering your grass and leading to mold and fungi growth, wrap young trees to protect from fluctuating temperatures, and fertilize your lawn to provide some nutrients for the grass through the colder temperatures. You can also consider marking off small trees and shrubs to avoid accidentally damaging them with snow removal tools.
