"Pierce Shallis Landscaping re-did our back yard and put in a curtain drain along our new deck. The backyard job consisted of filling in a dip in the yard with several cubic yards of topsoil and regrading it, and planting new grass. I was a somewhat “picky” customer. I asked Mr. Shallis and company to do the job in two stages, putting down the topsoil first and then planting the grass after I’d had a chance to kill any weeds that had sprouted from seeds in the topsoil. I wanted them to use salt hay rather than field straw as a mulch/covering, and to use a grass-seed mix I’d selected. (I ordered and paid for the salt hay and grass seed.) Mr. Shallis was very helpful and accommodated my requests cheerfully. His crew worked together well and efficiently; he was involved in some of the work himself, and is obviously respected and liked by his employees. The crew was unfailingly cheerful, good-humored, and respectful. I very much enjoyed having them work on the property. The work was done very efficiently and very well. Mr. Shallis regularly checked with me to see that I was pleased. He made recommendations for follow-up care on our new lawn. I felt that the price for the work we had done was reasonable considering its high quality. I plan to ask Mr. Shallis to work on our property again, and recommend him to others with confidence and enthusiasm."

"Our lawn had not been cut in several weeks, and I needed someone for a one-time job. They were able to come by on two days' notice and did a great job. If I ever need a weekly lawn care service, I'd call them first."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you notice your grass is growing quickly and it’s hard to keep up, cut down on how much you water and fertilize it. Another helpful method is to mow the grass at the highest setting your mower will allow. Mowing at a higher setting slows grass growth since the blades won’t need to repair themselves as quickly if they’re kept at a longer length.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125 per visit, with prices typically ranging from $50 to $205. The final cost depends on several factors, including your location, yard size, lawn shape, accessibility, grass type and length, and the frequency of service. Lawns with obstacles, steep slopes, or hard-to-reach areas may cost more. If a company charges by size, you can expect to pay between $0.01 and $0.06 per square foot, or $150 to $200 per acre.

A general breakdown of costs by lawn size is as follows:

• 3,500 square feet: $35–$210

• 5,000 square feet: $50–$300

• 10,000 square feet: $100–$600

• 1 Acre: $150–$200

• 2 Acres: $300–$400

• 3 Acres: $450–$600

• 4 Acres: $600–$800

• 5 Acres: $750–$1,000

• 10 Acres: $1,500–$2,000

• 15 Acres: $2,250–$3,000

Keep in mind that these prices generally cover routine maintenance like mowing and edging. Additional services such as raking leaves, weeding, trimming, or applying pesticides can add $400 or more to your total cost.

Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.
