"OCT. 2016 : INITIALLY ALL WAS OK....A TWO MAN CREW DID THE WORK ACCEPTABLY ONCE PER MONTH, WHEN "GILBERT" WAS THE ON SITE TEAM SUPERVISOR/WORKER....GILBERT WAS VERY DILIGENT, A HARD WORKER AND WILLINGLY DID WHAT HE WAS ASKED TO DO AND PERFORM ALL THE SERVICES I CONTRACTED FOR AS LISTED ABOVE. I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH GILBERT'S WORK, HOWEVER, GILBERT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FIRED BY OWNER: JOE MORENO OF (JM LAWNS) AND REPLACED WITH ANOTHER PERSON: "AL"....INITIALLY AL PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY, HOWEVER HE NEVER DISPLAYED THE SAME " GO THE EXTRA MILE ATTEMPT TO PLEASE THE CUSTOMER/CLIENT" THAT GILBERT DID AND ON THE LAST VISIT TO MY HOUSE , THE WORK CREW (AL AND HIS CO-WORKER) HAD NOT FINISHED TRIMMING THE BUSHES OR ANY OF THE TREES, AND WAS GOING TO LEAVE MY WORK UNFINISHED . I ASKED "AL" WHY HE WASN'T FINISHING THE WORK(THAT I WAS PAYING FOR) ...AL TOLD ME: "HIS CO-WORKER HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE" (REFERRING TO HIS WORK PARTNER).....HE THEN SAID: "WE CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE LAWN WORK AT (MY) HOUSE" !!!!!!(.TRYING TO JUSTIFY NOT COMPLETING THE JOB/WORK THAT I WAS PAYING FOR).........I LATER CALLED OWNER: JOE MORENO AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH HIS WORK CREW (AL) AND WANTED TO MEET WITH HIM TO DISCUSS/RESOLVE IT. HE INITIALLY SAID HE WOULD MEET WITH ME AT THE END OF THE WEEK.....I ASKED HIM TO CALL ME BACK TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND HE NEVER DID. THE "ATTITUDE , LAZINESS, REFUSAL TO FINISH THE JOB HE WAS PAID TO DO" , ON PART OF "AL" DISAPPOINTED AND ANNOYED ME !!!!....THE LACK OF FOLLOW UP BY OWNER: JOE MORENO, TO DISCUSS/RESOLVE MY PROBLEM WITH HIS EMPLOYEES, INDICATES A LACK OF CONCERN FOR ME (THE CUSTOMER/ CLIENT).....I AM NOW SEEKING A NEW LAWN SERVICE TO HIRE. I HAD CONTRACTED WITH JM LAWNS FROM: OCTOBER 2016 THRU MAY 2017. THE DATE OF THE "INCIDENT" WITH AL , WAS ON 5/18/2017"

"This had to be the best contractor experience I've ever had, and I've had many since moving here in 1992. Very professional, and at a reasonable price. On time and on schedule. Very good communication. Courteous and industrious helpers. The boss was actively involved in the ongoing work daily. Cleanup at the end of the day was superb. He shared his knowledge and I feel I am well trained to care for the new lawn."

"Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection. The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard...C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.

You sure can mow your grass paver driveway–and it’ll look better if you do. Just push your lawnmower across like you would a paver-less lawn. For a really low-maintenance driveway option, you can use pebbles or other small stones between the pavers instead of grass. They’ll still allow rainwater to seep into the ground.

Chiggers thrive in overgrown lawns, so regular mowing will deter these annoying mites. It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes. Pay special attention to moist, shady spots, as these are a chigger’s preferred habitat. When all else fails, sprinkle your yard with diatomaceous earth. It kills chiggers by dehydrating their exoskeletons. Diatomaceous earth is basically ground-up shells, so there’s no risk of injury to animals.

St. Augustine grass grows fast thanks to its dense mat-like structure and vigorous root system. If you've laid St. Augustine sod, it'll put down roots, get itself established, and start to spread in 14 days.

If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself—such as reseeding your lawn or testing the soil—a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.
