"Recently bought a beautiful old house with a neglected yard. It might once have been okay, but time had taken its toll. Jesse and his team helped me re-sculpt the lawn terrace, add and level the soil, and lay sod. Despite the scale of the work, we were watering the new law that evening."

"I want to personally let everyone know who might be looking for a repair or troubleshooting expert, Michael is the perfect fit for the job. We received estimates from three total companies, he was the most professional and straight to the point expert. His estimate was exactly the amount we paid and we were very pleased with that price. The level of professionalism from Michael and his crew (Roger/Mike/Chase) was amazing. They came at the requested time of our choice, no back and forth, straight to the point kind of business. Iâ m letting everyone on here know that they will be requesting the Robbins Landscaping company with confidence! Their work is exceptional, our grass is already showing signs of new life after they repaired the entire system for us. Please, I urge you to at the very least get an estimate from them. You and your family will NOT be disappointed. Amazing work, hard working crew, great attitude, exceptional pricing! Thank you for saving our lawn again, Michael!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.

If you accidentally watered your grass too much during the winter months, try aerating your lawn to encourage absorption of the water into the soil and improve drainage. Dethatching your lawn can also help the solid recover from overwatering and encourage healthy root and stalk health in your grass.

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.

No, it isn’t illegal, but many cities and towns have noise ordinances that it could violate. Either way, it can still cause problems if it bothers your neighbors. For motor-powered lawnmowers, the general consensus for common courtesy is to wait until after 8 a.m. to mow your lawn. However, if you have a push mower, you should be safe to mow at any time of day, provided you don’t make excessive noise in other ways.
