"Jeff the owner from Family Shield came to my home and assessed my lawn and immediately informed me of what he thought was going on with my lawn. Which lined up with my assessment. Everyone in the office has been very polite and has treated me with kindness and respect! I will post in a couple of months and let you know how my lawn is progressing! My first treatment begins this week! This is a family owned company and they have been remarkable!"
"Very satisfied. The team showed up as promised and they were very professional and made sure everything was working properly. They checked all my sprinklers and replaced heads were needed. Eduardo is very professional and reliable. I would recommend."
"Eduardo is very pleasant and explained everything in detail to me. He told me exactly what he was going to do and how long it would take to do it. I was very pleased with his work and even though they had to dig up my yard it was put back together almost seamlessly. Eduardo and his employee are very respectful, very hard working people."
"Zule is by far the best person I have ever had clean for me in the Keys. Her work is amazing and her communication with me whether it’s a problem or just checking schedules is great."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ M&R Paint & Reno did an amazing job. From the first conversation through completion of the project, they were punctual, respectful, and easy to work with. The crew took the time to do the job right instead of rushing, and the finished work came out beautiful. I especially appreciated how responsive they were whenever I had a question. It’s hard to find contractors you can count on, and I would definitely use M&R Paint & Reno again. Highly recommended for anyone in the Florida Keys."
"I needed some large limbs removed from over my metal roof. It was in a difficult area and they were able to cut them down and clean up any debris. I was on a time line and the worked with me and finished ahead of time."

A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.
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.
Water regularly, avoid heavy foot traffic, and clear debris promptly to support lawn health.
Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.
The best way to clean artificial turf is to use a stiff-bristled broom or rake to loosen up any large debris once a week. The process will also redistribute the infill material that keeps your turf blades standing up straight and evenly. For artificial turf maintenance, do not vacuum your turf or apply cleaning solutions. If you need to rinse the blades, spritz them with a light hose.
