"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"I was a Turf Care customer and they were a great company and never had any complaints. But after they merged with Trugreen it has been nothing but problems. The first problem was my aeration didn't happen on schedule, then they had to reschedule it, then they were suppose to call ahead of time so I could put my dogs away before any treatments, they show up without letting me know ( I have two older dogs that have full run of the yard all day). We get all these problem worked out after a number of phone calls with the local office. Now for the service - my lawn looks worse than it ever has. I have had to call them out multiple times between services and the issue is only getting worse. I ask for the service manager to come out and take a look at how bad the issue is and all I get is a call and told to call him back in a couple of weeks if I don't see any improvements. I haven't seen improvements all season, it has only gotten worse and the only thing I get is a call and attitude. The techs that show have been nice (never the same person) but they have always been nice, but the local branch personnel are very lacking. I would not hire them, they are not about making your lawn look good or about customer service, they are about taking your money and excuses. They have blamed everybody but themselves for the weeds and the service. I wish that Turf Care would never have merged, they were a great company and great to work with. I am looking for a new company for upcoming year."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using vinegar for grass works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers.

Treating dry soil can bring back a dormant lawn, but not a dead one. After nurturing a dry lawn back to proper moisture levels, you should closely observe whether your grass revives with the soil. If not, you may need to reseed your lawn or start fresh with new turf.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

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