"I highly recommend them! They were extremely polite, helpful, and professional from start to finish. I live in Florida and hired them to do the job at my parents’ home in California, so I had to handle everything over the phone. They made the entire process so easy and stress-free. My mom said they did an amazing job, and I’m very happy with the service. It’s not always easy coordinating work from another state, but they were reliable, professional, and wonderful to work with. Thank you for taking such great care of my parents’ home!"

I would recommend their services to others."

"He did an excellent job. He was able to remove it all including a stubborn catus. He worked very hard and left it super clean. He does other work besides gardening and I am hiring him again. Just fantastic. Thank you so much"

"Felipe responded very quickly to my request for a bid. By the next day, we received a written estimate detailing all the work to be
done. His price was very good and I felt very comfortable with him immediately. Felipe provided a drawing for the custom wood trim work he proposed for our columns. I liked the drawing and his work was exactly as it was drawn. In the course of installing the columns, some of the bricks were dislodged from patio. Felipe carefully reattached them and they look good as new. The columns were embedded in concrete and had custom molding at the top and bottom. I am extremely happy with his work. The front door was a complicated installation. The door was prefinished and nothing was preassembled. The jam and molding were all separate pieces and it was installed in a 50 year old house with an opening too small for the new door. Because of this, the door took longer to install then he expected and was not without some "learning moments." What impressed me most with Felipe was how much I learned about him as a person in the midst of those moments. It was a difficult job and he stayed with it. His attention to detail and willingness to take the time to do it right is exactly what I want from someone working on and in my home. I'm not the easiest person to work for, I don't yell or get angry, but details matter to me. He added bricks below the door that didn't exist previously. It was his idea and it improved the final product significantly. The bricks had to be cut to fit and mortar was used. There were several shortcuts he could've taken but didn't. He didn't charge a penny more for it. His plaster work was done well and quickly. I will certainly use him again.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Carpetgrass is distinguishable by its pale green to yellowish color and coarse appearance that grows well under shady conditions in poor and compact soils. If it grows uncontrolled, it tends to develop a hairy seedhead, giving patches of grass a messy appearance. If carpetgrass is regularly cut, it looks very similar to centipedegrass and St. Augustine grass, and people may confuse them. Carpetgrass blades are flat and rounded at the tip. Note that the grass only typically grows as a weed in Southern states.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125 per visit, with prices typically ranging from $50 to $205. The final cost depends on several factors, including your location, yard size, lawn shape, accessibility, grass type and length, and the frequency of service. Lawns with obstacles, steep slopes, or hard-to-reach areas may cost more. If a company charges by size, you can expect to pay between $0.01 and $0.06 per square foot, or $150 to $200 per acre.

A general breakdown of costs by lawn size is as follows:

• 3,500 square feet: $35–$210

• 5,000 square feet: $50–$300

• 10,000 square feet: $100–$600

• 1 Acre: $150–$200

• 2 Acres: $300–$400

• 3 Acres: $450–$600

• 4 Acres: $600–$800

• 5 Acres: $750–$1,000

• 10 Acres: $1,500–$2,000

• 15 Acres: $2,250–$3,000

Keep in mind that these prices generally cover routine maintenance like mowing and edging. Additional services such as raking leaves, weeding, trimming, or applying pesticides can add $400 or more to your total cost.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

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.

Many experts say anytime before 10 a.m. is a good time to water grass, but this does depend a bit on the climate conditions where you live. For example, if you live in South Florida and it’s already 95 degrees by 7:30 a.m., it may simply be too hot to effectively water your lawn, regardless of what the time is.
