Can you overwater your grass?

• <div><p>Yes, you can overwater your grass. Depending on your climate, it could be easier than you think. While water is an essential element for lawn growth, too much of it can actually damage its roots, leading to rot and other damage.</p><p>Whether your drip irrigation system leaks, it’s been a rainy summer, or you use the sprinkler too often, overwatering your lawn can drive up your water bill and impact the longevity of your lawn.</p></div>

Q: How often should I have lawn aeration services done?

• <div><p>If you have a beautifully thriving yard with no bald spots, you can choose to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-lawn-aeration.htm">aerate your yard </a>once every two years. Otherwise, having your lawn aerated at least once a year is recommended. And in those circumstances where you have a significant amount of thatch buildup or a thinning and bald yard, it's best to aerate twice a year to maintain a healthy lawn.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of buffalo grass?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It&rsquo;s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.</p></div>

Q: Is spike aeration better than nothing?

• <div><p>Although core aeration is overall a better method of aerating a lawn, spike aeration can still be helpful, especially if you have a smaller yard or are only trying to work on a specific problem area. Because spike aeration is so accessible thanks to its lower cost and easy DIY tools like aerator shoes, it can still be worthwhile for some gardeners.</p></div>

Angus was knowledgeable, did a thorough comprehensive breakdown of the project before anything was agreed to, which I appreciated. The work was impeccable and done quickly. The pricing was honest and fair. Couldn't ask for more.

This fence has been a gamechanger. We will feel secure knowing our puppy is safe exploring in the yard and won't be running after cars or people going by.

They did a great job on my lawn. It took awhile for them to finish due to the rain, but they told me that up front. Very Friendly and helpful.

I sent a request for an estimate for lawn mowing and care and I received an email asking for my address. After supplying them with my address nothing happened. I never saw them or heard from them again. No one called or emailed again, so I didn't use them.

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...
