"Mark Higgins did a super job landscaping the front of our house and front yard bed. The front of our house now has "curb appeal" thanks to his recommendations. He and his crew did a great job clearing out the old plants and installing the new ones. Would definitely hire again."
"Aldo and David did professional work for a very reasonable price. They arrived when they said they would, and their four man crew (which includes Aldo and David) finished the same day. When the sodded area was being prepared, one of the workers found my gold wedding ring that had been lost for 3 years. He returned it to my wife. How many landscapers have this amount of honesty and integrity? I will hire them for their tree services in the future as will one of my neighbors who saw their work."
"If you need any landscaping or irrigation done...this is the company to choose. My husband and I dreamed of having a tropical oasis in the middle of Palm Harbor and now we do. Not only is Southern Brothers Company's work worth their own tv show...their professionalism and attention to detail is top notch. My backyard went from being the biggest eye sore in the neighborhood...to being a place everyone wants to be. We just had our pool done, so Dakota and his team built around that to make sure we were utilizing every space. I used to be so embarrassed of the pile of dirt back there....but just in a matter of days...they transformed it into something truly amazing. Again, I highly recommend this company. You won't be disappointed. :)"
"We have employed Express Lawn Service for four years. We hope to have them for as long as we are in our current home. They are dependable, do a great job and are responsive to our needs. On occasion, they have noticed something that needs to be done like completing an edging job that I started but had not completed due to heat and they took a few extra minutes to complete it for me. They even, without being asked, saw a pile of debris from the last hurricane and picked it up and hauled it away. Very, very kind and considerate of the homeowners. Perfect company for an aging couple who needs help with lawn and landscape maintenance."
"I initially contacted them to clean up my landscaping. When matt came out he explained how my landscaping was overgrown and could start doing damage to my house. Matt really took the time to show me my options and put together a beautiful landscape design to remove and replace my overgrown landscape. Thanks Matt for truly caring about my property and taking the time to explain everything! It looks great and I couldnâ t be happier!"
"Installing turf for our dog area was the absolute best decision ever. No more dead grass and endless sand being tracked inside. We have clean floors again!!"
If you live in an area with heavy rain or you like the idea of an extra layer of cushion under your feet, you may want to consider adding additional layers under your grass. There are pads that are purely for comfort and ones that can help accelerate drainage for those heavy rains.
Hedges can be trimmed in many other shapes than the standard square shape. They can be cut into spiral, cone, and sphere shapes. However, cutting and maintaining these types of shapes is much more challenging. There are metal frames that you can purchase to place around the hedge to make it much easier.
As much as you might try to keep a healthy, nutrient-rich lawn, you still may notice signs of St. Augustine decline (SAD)—a viral disease that discolors your grass blades. St. Augustine decline looks like:
Discoloration in the leaves (chlorosis)—leaves appear yellow and splotchy
Decline in growth
Leaves turn black within 3 years
Grass appears less vibrant
Grass begins to thin
Root rot
Grass takes longer to recover
Hedge plants are available in almost every size, from seedlings to fully mature, six-foot-tall shrubs. Planting smaller plants is much easier and more cost-effective. However, it can take years for the plants to reach maturity and create a full hedge. Garden centers and specialty retailers sometimes offer three to four-foot wide plants that you can simply plant next to each other for an instant full hedge.
While both fall and spring are suitable times of the year for planting trees, fall is typically the better option. Soil stays warm long enough to allow tree roots to establish in fall before they go dormant, while spring might give way to intense summer heat before spring-planted trees have time to grow strong roots.
