"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."

"My wife and I had some horrendous super weeds take off in our flower beds . All around the house, and out of control crabgrass in our ditches. I hired Nick and we made a game plan on what was most cost effective and best for our circumstances. We live next to crops, and have a dog. Obviously have water ways needing treatment. So a lot of little nuances going on there. Nick came back with proper research and sprayed accordingly to each situation. Then his crew and him removed the excess vegetation and even som small trees that had come in by squirrels or birds. We have a set game plan for the future of the project and bigger plans next year! He was even able to work around my hectic schedule for what was best for our household. Thanks Nick and crew!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

Using specialized equipment, they aerate thoroughly, alleviating compaction and enhancing root health.

You have a few options to get rid of raked leaves, including bagging them and leaving them out for yard waste pickup. Even if you hire a professional for leaf removal, they can often bag the leaves and leave them for you to dispose of this way. You can also recycle and even donate yard waste. If you have a compost bin, your leaves will be ready to help your plants grow, reducing spring cleanup landscaping costs. Some companies will even accept donations of raked leaves to make compost, but you’ll need to transport them yourself.

No, you cannot throw branches from your neighbor’s tree back into their yard, nor can you discard leaves or other plant matter that originated from their yard back over there if it happens to land in your yard. You are responsible for cleaning up plant matter that made its way into your yard.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.
