"Josh has been out to my house a few times now and does a great job each time. The first was about a year ago where he re-routed our sprinkler system to provide better coverage and connected it to city water after our well dried up. We haven't had any issues with our sprinkler zones since and the lawn looks great now. The second time he came to fix a broken pipe and also dug out our sprinkler heads after the sod had grown over them. Once again, he did a fantastic job. Both times he was communicative, on time, and gave us a fair price for good work. Mac is my go-to for irrigation services. Thanks, Josh!"

"If you’re looking for a landscaping company you can actually trust—stop searching and call All American Lawn Care & Landscaping. We hired them to install sod around our new patio, and I can honestly say this is one of the best contractor experiences we’ve ever had. The difference in our yard is night and day. The sod is perfectly laid, the ground was prepped the right way, and everything looks full, green, and professionally done. But what impressed me most wasn’t just the result—it was how they operate. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard the entire time, paid attention to the details most companies miss, and treated our home with real care and respect. In a world where it’s hard to find reliable, honest companies… these guys stand out. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just excellent work. If you’re in the Lakeland area and even thinking about sod or landscaping, do yourself a favor and call them first. You’ll be glad you did."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Water daily, avoid heavy foot traffic, and mow when the grass reaches 3-4 inches.

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

Cut your lawn a bit shorter before the winter, typically between 2 and 2½ inches, depending on the variety of grass. On average, the best height to cut grass typically falls between 2 and 3 inches throughout the year. Aim for the shorter side of this range when you mow for the last time of the year to avoid common winter lawn diseases and moisture issues.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.

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.
