"The guys got here on time and took care of the work. They took down my tree piece by piece till it was gone and then hauled it all away. They even through in trimming my bushes for free. Their Bob Cat left some tracks in the yard and they came back and fixed it. Raked and reseeded it. I would highly recommend their business for my neighbors and friends. They did a great job."

"In March of â 21, my husband and I finally decided that we reached our limit to looking at our front yard which had become quite unattractive and overgrown from hedge rows planted 19 years ago. Without shape, form and absent of any color, we knew we needed to start over. We called several landscape companies including D&D Landscaping. Dean came out a week later and right away, Rich and I knew that he was the person we wanted to work with. He was straight-forward, extremely fun, very personable, and highly knowledgeable about the business of landscaping. He surveyed the lawn and came up with a plan that at first blush, seemed a bit overcrowded with plantings for the size of the lot. I will add that I know next to nothing about flowers, plants, bushes and the like and my artistic vision does not extend to landscaping. Dean asked us to trust him, and boy, are we glad we did! He had a vision of what our space would look like and he delivered a gorgeous reality, with flowering bushes and two trees in a beautiful design that is perfect for the size of our front yard and will provide ever changing color throughout the year. The work was done in two days. He and his amazing, friendly crew removed the old grass and overgrown bushes in one morning and did all the planting including new sod, accent lighting and underground watering system on day two in under five hours. We are absolutely thrilled! We highly recommend D&D Landscaping! We will be using Dean again for further projects down the road, as we continue to get the pleasure of looking out our window admiring our lawn and enjoying passersby doing the same."

"Ultra-Green merged with ExperiGreen to become my lawn care experts. I called ExperiGreen because I received a bill without notice that they had come. I spoke to Trisha who checked their records and said the technician was there. I asked her if the next time he came if he would leave a stake in the yard, put his name on the bill, and the time he serviced my lawn and she said sure. I informed her I was home and didn't see him or hear him. She said not a problem. She stated he could come back if I liked, but she didn't want to over fertilized the grass causing it to become distressed. I told her that wasn't necessary. She told me she documented my concerns so that they could be adhered to on the next visit. Trisha was very patience with me, I didn't feel like she was trying to get me off the phone. She really made me feel like a valued customer. She then connected me with Austin Borkowski to ask him about whether or not I needed to have my lawn Aerated and which type I should get. Austin was very knowledgeable and addressed all of my questions. He viewed my account and informed me of all the notes Trisha had put in my account. Austin told me he thought the liquid aeration would work well on my lawn. So, I had him put me on the schedule, although I thought they were a little expensive Austin promised me a lush green lawn next year and said he had no problem with his company coming back out until I was satisfied. He definitely knows his job well and made me feel like a value customer. ExperiGreen is my number one chose and I would definitely recommend them for your lawncare. They see you as a person and not just a number. Kudos to ExperiGreen Lawncare."

"Turf care did a great job of repairing/revitalizing my damaged lawn. I have 2 big dogs, so I appreciated the fact that they use milder/less harmful products. So, while it did take a number of trips before I began to see positive results, I'm quite happy with the way my yard looked at the end of the season, I have renewed the contract for 2020"

"Excellent work. Kaitlyn and her crew put in a sprinkler system for our new landscape project that included parkways, yard and a large number of plantings. She put in the system before the plantings were done and made a number of adjustments after the landscaping to ensure everything was watered appropriately. It works well and is extremely easy to use. I highly recommend Autorain and will use them again as our landscaping grows into other areas of our yard."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.

The time that it takes to fill in a pool with dirt varies based on the size of the pool and the equipment you have available. Using heavy equipment, like an excavator rather than a shovel, will significantly cut down on the time it takes to complete the project. With the right equipment, it may only take a day or two. However, after the initial filling, the dirt will continue to settle over the following weeks and months. You may need to add more dirt to make the empty area level with the rest of the yard.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

  • Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn. 

  • Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment. 

  • Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

Your neighbor is not in a good position to know if your trees are truly dead or pose any kind of danger. That’s why hiring an arborist or tree service expert can be such an important part of the process. If the trees are still alive and don’t pose any threat, you’re in the clear (but you may want to document and photograph everything in case events turn sour down the road).

But if a tree is visibly dead and near the property line, you should remove it to be safe. If a dead tree falls on a neighbor’s property, they may have grounds to sue for negligence. If any branches on trees have died, it’s a good idea to cut them back for similar reasons.
