"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."

"I had an issue with the underground sprinkler system not watering my front yard garden. A service provider came out almost immediately and determined that the sprinkler heads were embedded in the dirt and grass. They were identified and freed from the lawn and now the garden is receiving good water regularly. Thank you Water Works."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

The optimal time to tackle thorn bush removal is during late fall or winter when the bushes are dormant. The plants are less active during this time of year, making it easier to prune and remove. Additionally, you can more easily see what you’re cutting since there are no leaves.

Experts remove leaves methodically, preventing mold and allowing sunlight to strengthen grass, promoting robust growth.

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.

Weeds may grow back when pulled out if the root is not completely removed. Invasive weeds can regrow from just a small portion of remaining root, so using a weed-pulling tool can help ensure you remove the entire root. Weeds may grow back faster if roots aren’t fully removed, and incomplete removal could cause them to spread as well.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
