"This company is a RIP OFF....I have been stupid enough to give them a chance for 3 years and they continued to DISAPPOINT!! The techs sit in their trucks clocking time spent on the service as I watch them from my house. They do my front and back yard treatment in LESS than 3 min.!! This summer I called them NUMEROUS times to complain and NO ONE ever returned my calls (at least 5)!! DO NOT waste your money like I did....my lawn looks the worse it has ever looked...thanks to their CRAPPY service."

With locations nationwide, Hawx Pest Control is proud to provide top-of-the-line pest control to our customers. Offering both home pest control and commercial pest control services, we placed our core values right in our name so that we’ll never forget what drives us.

"Scam of a company. They charge you monthly for a service that they NEVER complete. I?ve been stuck in a contract with them since like May. The ONE time they?ve came out they stuck a dollar store ant bait trap on the counter and that was it. I?m pretty sure they make their own reviews on google because this page seems more accurate to how terrible they are as a business. If I was stealing someone?s money for a job I didn?t do I?d get in trouble so I?m not sure how they get away with it. Going forward when someone comes to my property trying to sell something it?s gonna be an unpleasant situation since I have no soliciting up. AVOID HAWX AT ALL COST!"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You should water your lawn two or three days before putting down fertilizer to ensure it can properly absorb it. It's good to apply fertilizer if the ground is moist, but you want to avoid overwatering or flooding the area because it can prevent the grass from absorbing the nutrients. Consider weather conditions when scheduling your fertilizer treatment and read the instructions to see how long you should wait to water after application.

Fescue grass is a relatively low-maintenance grass type, meaning it doesn’t require much more attention than regular watering, dethatching, and mowing. Some fescues even grow slowly enough for hard-to-reach areas, particularly those inaccessible by the mower. Following a seasonal maintenance schedule will help your fescue lawn stay green, healthy, and durable for years to come.

Choosing the right grass seed and planting it at the right time are the most important factors in establishing fast-growing grass. You also need adequate water, sunshine, and nutrients. To speed up the growth process, you can implement some tips and tricks, including watering it deeply and frequently, and using an iron-rich fertilizer to boost its appearance.

Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting.  

Routine lawn care costs between $50 and $250 per service, with an average of around $100. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you’ll pay will depend on a few different factors:

  • Size of your lawn

  • Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions

  • Requested services 

  • Home’s location

  • How quickly your grass grows
