Q: Do you tip lawn service workers?

• <div><p>Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided.<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-tip-landscapers.htm"> The amount you should tip</a> depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between<b> $10 and $100</b> per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs. </p></div>

Q: When should you cut grass for the first time in spring?

• <div><p>When spring arrives, it&rsquo;s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least <b>40 degrees Fahrenheit</b>. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.</p></div>

Q: Do lawn care or mowing companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, lawn care and mowing companies require at least a business license to operate legally. However, requirements can vary by location, and some areas mandate that landscaping companies be licensed, insured, and bonded, or even hold a general contractor license. Before hiring any lawn service, confirm they are fully insured. This protects you from liability for injuries on your property and also protects the company's employees. You can use Angi's state license lookup tool to verify a company's licensing status in your area.</p></div>

Q: How can I keep my lawn looking healthy?

• <div><p>There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-lawn-hot-weather.htm">when to water grass</a> is among the most important. Having your sprinkler timer set to early morning is best because it gives your grass and plants enough time to absorb water before the sun and wind can evaporate it. To maximize a sprinkler&rsquo;s impact, aerate your lawn once or twice per year. Doing this achieves better absorption and stronger root systems for your grass.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need gardening services?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-gardener-come-for-maintenance.htm">frequency of gardening service visits</a> depends on two significant factors&mdash;the service and your budget. If you&rsquo;re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather). </p></div>

"Drive way was compacted and over grown with grass, weeds, and allowing water into the garage. Had a hill on one side of the house lower against the foundation, getting water in basement. Needed a patio to replace the rotted deck and allow my dog run. Did a great job, hired to rejuvenate and gravel driveway which looks awesome, remove hill along side of house place dirt against house and leave a swell between property to not cause an issue for my neighbor, much dryer in the basement, removed what was left of my rotted deck to put in a patio sloped away from the house. Was too hot for me but they showed up and got everything done quicker than I thought it would be. Very happy I was able to hire them"
