"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!"

"Will and his team were very polite and respectful! They arrived on time and got right to work on our lawn. We had several steps involved in putting down new sod , (Provista),removing the old lawn, prepping the lawn and sprinkler system, delivery of new sod. Will kept us informed of every step as they went along. Our lawn looks beautiful and they did an excellent job from start to finish!! We would absolutely recommend Will and his team at Elevated Lawn and Landscaping!! Awesome work, Thank you so much . Craig & Rhonda Pearson"

"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

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.

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.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

In general, cool-season grasses such as fescue grass, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia grass don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.

Sometimes, pulling nutgrass can cause it to spread. If you do not discard the plant and rhizomes, the nutlets attached to the roots may each sprout. However, if you pull nutgrass repeatedly over the course of several weeks and discard the plant each time, it will weaken the plant significantly, eventually leading to its disappearance.
