"We had two large, unruly trees that were blocking the sun, dropping maple helicopters everywhere, and giving raccoons access to the roof. Gabe and his coworker came out with their lift-truck and woodchipper, and took care of them in just a few hours. The yard was cleaned up afterwards - a job well done. We'll definitely hire him again!"

"Derek and his team were great. We did have a mixture of grass used in the yard because we added a section. They had to use a mix in the main part of the yard because they used the Tall Fescue in the added section instead of the main yard."

"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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.

A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.
