"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

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.

Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to ¾ inch in spring.

Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It’s also easy to establish in yards.

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.

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.
