"We signed up for Masters a year ago and requested lawn cutting service only. We were told we could only sign up for and subsequently pay for full lawn service including weeding and “full lawn care”. Our front yard is full of weeds and our neighbors have said something in concern the weeds will spread to their yard. My husband emailed Masters, they came out promptly looked, said they would change the treatment and follow up to make sure the lawn improved. No one ever came back or followed up. Masters came today to provide the weekly service and our lawn looks bad. My husband is in the backyard pulling weeds and I’m about to retrim the grass myself because there are parts in the front and back left uncut. We’ve reached out multiple times and nothing has changed. I would very much not recommend."

"Terrible Work, Awful Customer Service, Shady Business, Fake Reviews. This company will charge you an absorbant amount of money to do a half-job. We called this company with a concern about bugs getting into our house AFTER they completed they're job. $140 for absolutely nothing. They DO NOT stand behind their product. They will steal your money and not perform the service you paid them to do. Absolutely awful service. 0/10"

Family owned & operated. While Florida is a great place to live, the warm, moist climate also acts as a breeding ground for unwanted pests. For over 80 years, our Florida pest control company has diligently worked to eliminate nuisance and potentially damaging insect and rodent infestations for Northern Florida homeowners. As a longtime pest control provider, we realize pest control is an ongoing battle; one that requires technical expertise and knowledge of the local pest pressures in order to be the most effective.

"McCalls is the worst lawn care service I have ever had, besides Safari, who were also horrible. My grass is light brown with clovers all in it. I have chinch bugs near my driveway. They did a absolutley horible job. I would never recomend them to anyone."

"It went as smoothly as I could hope. Brooker was great about helping me understand how to keep my pets safe during the spraying. It was raining outside during the appointment, so they couldn't spray then; but they came back promptly the next morning to finish up the job. I appreciated not only their speed and professionalism, but also their awareness and respect for the environment and local ordinances."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

It’s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you’ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.

Post-seeding care involves regular watering, mowing when appropriate, and occasional re-seeding to cover sparse areas.

A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and dull lawn mower blades can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. 

The best type of fertilizer depends on the type of grass and your desired end result. Generally speaking, slow-release fertilizers are best for grass, as they gradually release nutrients into your soil instead of all at once, which meets the needs of many grass types. However, the tradeoff is that slow-release fertilizers contain phosphorus, which negatively impacts local water quality. Also, some grasses require different formulations to meet the demands of the soil. Test your soil to see how acidic or alkaline it is before choosing a fertilizer. 

Professionals bring industry knowledge, can spot potential problems early, and tailor maintenance like fertilizing and weeding to your lawn's specific needs.
