"I highly recommend Mike and his team! The services we requested were leaf removal, dead/fallen branch removal, bush trimming, garden bed trimming, edging, and final lawn cutting of the season. They were mindful of the yard toys we couldn’t put away, price was very reasonable, and our lawn looks AMAZING. Definitely give them a call for any lawn service."

"I can't say enough good things about Brian, who took care of this work for me. He returned my call promptly, listened carefully to what I needed, and was able to go out to my house within a few days to look at the space available for the two needed light fixtures. He then gave me excellent advice on the type of fixtures that would fit, and the exact sizees I needed to order, as well as what locations would work best for connecting them to the existing wiring. Using his advice, I was able to order the fixtures, which he then came out again to install. He obviously has good skills, but he was also prompt, efficient, honest, and very professional. I will not hesitate to contact him again when I need any further work done -- thanks Brian!"

"To say that Dan & his team's workmanship is fantastic, would be a huge understatement. His communication, cleanliness, meticulous attention to detail, great personality & his willingness to go above and beyond for his customers are just a few reasons why Arnold Improvements, LLC. sets the bar for everyone else. After an abatement, we were left with a "bare-bones" kitchen that looked like the inside of a barn. Dan transformed it into a beautiful kitchen that we can't wait to show off. There are other options out there, but they fail in comparison to Arnold Improvements, LLC. We will most definately be working with him again. Whether the job is big or small, call Dan Arnold."

"it feels like Christmas...no more shlepping around with a heavy hose making lines in the new seed! Sean and company did a great job to include placing the grass back the way it started out. The job was done by 3 and the price was right. my husband and I feel we should have done this years ago!"

"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring professionals ensures efficient and responsible yard waste removal, protecting property aesthetics and ensuring regulatory compliance. They manage disposal or recycling effectively, reducing the homeowner’s burden of handling heavy or bulky materials.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.

Yes, but it depends on what you have planted in yours and the extent of the damage. Hardier shrubs and plants with droopy leaves have a better chance of bouncing back, but do go ahead and cut back any broken branches or damaged portions. Fertilizer can help, but wait until you spot new growth before you feed any plants.
