"Daryl and Joe were amazing! They were extremely polite and respectful and patiently waited when I needed to strategize my packing plan. They moved all the items efficiently and safely, and when they made quick work of getting the items loaded up they were willing to offer additional assistance. THANK YOU BOTH - I would hire them again and inquired about additional yard work, after being so impressed by their work ethic."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, most services include removing grass clippings and yard waste. Confirm with your provider.

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. 

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.

Yes, most services include basic site cleanup and proper disposal of debris, which may include hazardous materials. It is always best to confirm the specifics with your provider.

In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it’s difficult for the mower to cut through.
