"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."

"Ken did a one time lawn mow since my HOA provides weekly service. My lawn needed to be mowed and the service with the HOA had not yet started. Ken did great job and the price was reasonable. I would use Ken again and would recommend to anyone needing lawn service."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Each season’s climate influences approaches needed for effective suppression.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun. 

Carpetgrass is distinguishable by its pale green to yellowish color and coarse appearance that grows well under shady conditions in poor and compact soils. If it grows uncontrolled, it tends to develop a hairy seedhead, giving patches of grass a messy appearance. If carpetgrass is regularly cut, it looks very similar to centipedegrass and St. Augustine grass, and people may confuse them. Carpetgrass blades are flat and rounded at the tip. Note that the grass only typically grows as a weed in Southern states.

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.
