"We hired Paul for a complete redesign of our exterior spaces, including the pool area, upper terrace, and outdoor kitchen. The “before” looked tired and empty… old tile, no cohesive décor, and a layout that didn’t make the most of the space. Paul completely reimagined the entire outdoor experience. He selected the right plants, furniture, lighting, and layout to bring the space to life. The pool area now looks beautiful, with coordinated seating areas, umbrellas, greenery, and warm lighting that completely changed the atmosphere. The upper terrace (previously unused) is now a beautiful dining and entertaining space that feels cohesive, modern, and welcoming. His taste, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional. He understood our style, maximized the space, and elevated the property far beyond what we expected. The work was efficient, the communication was excellent, and the final result is stunning. We are thrilled and would absolutely hire Paul again without a doubt!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Your grass-growing schedule depends on where you live and the variety of grass in your lawn. Cool-season grasses typically stop between November and April with a slowdown at the peak of summer. Warm-season grasses will slow when temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January. Hiring a great lawn care team can help you pinpoint the right moment to cut back on mowing.

If you have a manageably-sized lawn and the ground is relatively even and free of debris, a reel mower can be very effective. That’s because reel mowers provide a cleaner, more precise cut compared to power rotary mowers. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to stay on top of your lawn maintenance: Reel mowers can’t handle grass that’s grown too tall or dense.

The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion.  

The cost ranges from $50 to $200 per visit, depending on the property size and services required. Larger properties or additional tasks like fertilizing may cost more.

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.
