"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."

"Everything went as scheduled from the signing of the contract last September to the installation this spring. Katlyn is very professional and dedicated to getting every detail done perfectly. The gentlemen who did the installation were very knowledgeable and neat in getting the grass returned to its normal condition. Thanks for a job well done. I would definitely recommend Auto Rain to anyone interested in getting a sprinkler system installed."

"The installation of our new home’s sprinkler system in 1990 was flawless. After the installation American National Sprinkler turned our system on in the spring, drained & shut down in the fall, and serviced our system for 30 years. Pricing was always fair. I never felt like they were trying to overcharge. Their service employees were always professional, courteous, and prompt. Customer service was the same and helpful. Our lawn always looked GREAT. Friends, and family always asked why - my response was fertilizing but mostly due to my AMERICAN NATIONAL sprinkler system."

"Almanza is the best in the area, I've learned the hard way. Had them as regulars for landscaping a few years back. They were great for the most part - Raul was excellent at doing extra jobs (paving, tree-cutting) fast and prompt at very reasonable prices. The yard looked great. However, when fall cleanup came, the crew left a lot of debris behind. During the summer, they also trimmed stuff I asked them not to trim and didn't trim what I wanted them to. I chalked it up to the crew though. Raul has always been great and I complained to him about it, noting I couldn't renew the contract with the same weekly crew. Not hearing from him about a different crew, I too hastily terminated the contract. BIG mistake. Subsequent lawn care and landscape specialists have been totally abysmal compared. I've learned that the weekly crews of any company are not as honest, hardworking, scrupulous, etc. as the owners but you have to put up with that stuff. It's just part of the game apparently. Looking back, aul's crew wasn't perfect, but they were a lot better than any others I've had. If you have him as a landscaper, keep him. A good dude. I've regretted my action more every year."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can overwater your lawn. While water is essential for growth, too much can be damaging. Overwatering keeps the soil saturated, which can suffocate roots, kill beneficial bacteria, and starve the grass of nutrients and oxygen, leading to root rot. This can occur due to a leaky irrigation system, a rainy season, or using a sprinkler too often. In addition to harming your lawn's health and longevity, overwatering can also increase your water bill.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

Each season’s climate influences approaches needed for effective suppression.
