"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!"

"Great lawn service! They did an excellent job mowing the lawn, edging all the borders, trimming the bushes, and removing the weeds. Everything was cleaned up nicely afterward, and the yard looks much more neat and well-maintained. They were professional, thorough, and did exactly what I needed. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable lawn care!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.

The price of lawn maintenance depends on your lawn's size and the type of services. The average homeowner spends around $300 on lawn care, but ongoing maintenance can range between $100 and $500 monthly. Regular tasks such as mowing will cost less than a specialized task like tree trimming and grass planting.

Longer lengths are always better for striping, so mowing your grass to between 2½ to 4 inches tall. More length allows for optimal bendiness, plus it helps your lawn stay healthier, too. Remember, never mow more than ⅓ of the grass height at once to keep your lawn looking green and healthy.
