"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."

"He is an excellent worker. My yard always looks very, very nice. He is prompt and friendly. He is the groundskeeper for 37 rental properties in this area, so I had seen his work. He has all of his own tools and mowers. I have not been disappointed. He is a single dad and is very conscientious. He really went over and above."

I offer a eco friendly land clearing practice called “forestry mulching” that cleans out unwanted overgrown vegetation and trees up to 6 inches I use a track skid steer along with a drum style mulcher with 34 knives on it. It takes the overgrowth and trees down to the ground and mulches them up on site eliminating clean up and hauling off. Forestry mulching benefits include no hauling off site or burning piles it leaves a nice mulch finish on top that over time decays and puts nutrients back into the ground improving soil quality and eliminating erosion and also can do select mulching leaving bigger trees and just thinning out the smaller ones and brush I do fence lines, residential, back yard clean up, groves, right aways and just about anything I can get at and not to steep. Forestry mulching is a faster more efficient way of land clearing of small trees and overgrowth than traditional land clearing methods and doesn’t disturb the top soil. I’m just getting started in this business and looking for opportunities, as of right now doing it part time through winter and summer but hoping to expand and get into it full time and hope to build a satisfactory company and build good long term customer relationships. Will travel 25-30 miles from Smithland. Call/text 712-420-0562 leave voicemail if no answer. Thank You Very much

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

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.

Raking is one way to remove moss from your lawn. However, if you rake live moss, it can spread and exacerbate the problem. Instead, use a moss killer, then wait a couple of weeks before raking to ensure the moss is dead and can’t spread to other areas of your lawn.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
