"I reached out to them and got a response the same day. They were quick to respond and also made time in their schedule to come and help with my yard. I was very grateful for all the work they did even though there was some miscommunication, they did a great job and I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for future lawn maintenance."

"Great work, responsive, good communication, quick scheduling, job done on time and at a fair price. Gave this company a chance when I had a tight timeline to get my bushes trimmed back away from the house before painting. I called several companies with either no response or not able to schedule me for a month or more. I hired Cleanscape for a full lawn/lansdscape clean up including trimming bushes and plants, refresh mulch and rock. Jonathan was able to come give quote and schedule work being complete all within 1 week. Crew showed up on time and worked quickly. Job was done in 1 day! I was out of town but Jonathan was awesome at communication. We texted and called. He even sent me a video of the before and after. I will use them again in the future."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

Ticks prefer tall grass and seek out shady and moist areas. So, in some instances a no-mow lawn may increase tick population in your yard. This scenario is not ideal if you spend lots of time in your yard or if you have pets. If you spray pesticide then this can also harm the pollinators. However, you can make a DIY tick killer with more natural ingredients to avoid using toxic chemicals.

The cost ranges from $50 to $200 per visit, depending on the property size and services required. Larger properties or additional tasks like fertilizing may cost more.

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 American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion.  

Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to ¾ inch in spring.
