What is the fastest way to clean your yard?

• <div><p>Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">lawn maintenance checklist</a>. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to water your lawn in the morning or at night?

• <div><p>Whether you're manually watering your lawn with a hose or using an irrigation system, it's always best to water the grass in the morning. It may not seem like it makes a difference, but nighttime is colder and winds are likely to be stronger. Strong winds will push the water droplets away from the grass, and the temperature will be too low for the water to evaporate, and thus get absorbed by the soil. However, watering the lawn during peak afternoon sun does the opposite, and the water evaporates too quickly.</p></div>

Q: How soon after rain can I mow?

• <div><p>You can mow the grass when it&rsquo;s dry to the touch, usually between 2 and 5 hours if it was a light rainfall or morning dew. If the rainfall was significant, you may need to wait up to 2 days until the grass is dry. Touch the grass and soil to determine if it&rsquo;s dry. Be sure to check in shady areas too, as those can take longer to dry out. </p></div>

Q: Should you mow the lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.</p></div>

Q: How often should I rake my leaves?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s no exact science to how often you should rake your leaves, a good rule of thumb to follow is to rake leaves every three to four days. However, you can rake more often or less often, depending on how quickly leaves are accumulating on your lawn.</p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.

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.
