"Originally they responded right away.  He was very nice and explained what he would do.  We agreed on a price and about a week later they showed up to install the system.  They hit the phone cable so I was without phone/TV/Internet for a while but they accepted responsibility and AT&T came out the next day and made repairs so it wasn't that big of a deal.  The sprinkler system worked great.  The weed killer attracted more weeds than killing them so I just put down my own and that took care of them.  They stated they would come back out in or around November to winterize the system.  The end of October I called both the cell phone and office phone along with a text and no response. I tried again in November, still no response.   I ended up having to call another company to come out and winterize the system.  I was happy in the beginning but in the end, I had to go with someone else.

"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!"

"Alan did an amazing job retooling our entire yard including all the new lighting and front retaining wall and new plants and shrubs. I created something I wanted using AI and told Alan to make it match as much as possible. Alan is incredibly professional and responsive. He takes pride in his work and lives up to everything he promised in terms of customer service. I wanted to also support Alan as a law enforcement professional as well. You will see from the photos it was a major overhaul and Alan did an amazing job. We will hire Alan again for routine work season after season. Such a nice guy with great customer service skills."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Depending on the local climate and time of year, you only need to water your lawn by hand once or twice a week. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes with a hose and/or watering can. It doesn't require any electricity or complex irrigation systems and provides some exercise and time outdoors for free. You can also go for longer between waterings during rainy times.

The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning. This timing allows the grass to dry during the day, which reduces the risk of mildew and fungus, and ensures the lawn has moisture to withstand the day's heat. Watering during the peak afternoon sun is inefficient, as the water evaporates too quickly.

Watering in the evening or at night is not recommended. Prolonged moisture on the grass overnight can promote fungal diseases. Additionally, nighttime conditions can be colder and windier, which may cause water to be blown away or prevent it from being properly absorbed by the soil.

The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure proper landscape drainage and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.
