"My yard was full of leaves and stuff and needed a lot of clean up. I tried to do some of the work, but with my schedule, I did not have much time to clean up or maintain the yard. I knew I needed help! Jerry was great on the phone and we discussed the job a bit and arranged for him to come give me an estimate. I also wanted to hire someone to come by a couple times a week to maintain it after cleaning it up and do small improvements over time. He gave me his initial estimate for the clean up and we set a date. He showed up on time, let me know when he was on his way too. He and his son were respectful, friendly and hardworking. They did what we asked for and made the yard look so much better than before. We ended up hiring Master Lawns to maintain and improve the look of our yard and are excited to see what it will look like as it gets some of the care it so desperately needs. I would recommend Jerry for his professionalism, friendliness and most importantly his work."

"William installed a new sprinkler system in my front and rear yard. He also seeded the areas needed for new grass, added decorative rocks, and mulch in places we requested. The price for all we had done was lower than expected, and very competitive with other estimates i received from other landscaping companies. He is very professional, and a great person to reach out to if you need landscaping done at your residence. You will not be disappointed with the end result!!!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.

Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.

Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided. The amount you should tip depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between $10 and $100 per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

Professional services offer efficient, safe waste and junk removal, ensuring legal compliance and environmental responsibility. Professionals handle items systematically, disposing of them properly or recycling, which contributes to clutter reduction and enhanced property safety.
