"Roger is a great guy and his crew did a wonderful job remediating our flooding issues by putting in drainage systems that divert water around our house for some very serious flooding issues. They also installed a sidewalk to divert water and a drainage system under the sidewalk. They worked very hard and they were very courteous and kind."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts
Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.
DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.
Your grass-growing schedule depends on where you live and the variety of grass in your lawn. Cool-season grasses typically stop between November and April with a slowdown at the peak of summer. Warm-season grasses will slow when temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January. Hiring a great lawn care team can help you pinpoint the right moment to cut back on mowing.
Mow before aeration. After you've aerated the lawn, you can fertilize, water, and overseed. But wait at least two weeks after aeration before you mow.
For most people, hiring a lawn care service is well worth the expense. Some homeowners thoroughly enjoy cutting their own lawns, but even so, it’s a time-consuming process and it likely won’t yield professional-looking results. Hiring a lawn mowing company frees up your time, and guarantees that your home looks well maintained and remains healthy year-round. Many lawn care companies also offer services like snow and leaf removal to keep your lawn in tip-top share during the cold-weather months.
