"Great company, very friendly, if you have questions their on it. Have had this company for 2yrs and my lawn looks GREAT, I was a self fertilizer type person and used what I thought was a high quality product but the lawn just did not respond to my expectations so I called Lawn Doctor after seeing my wifes friends lawn which they service. The cost is a little higher then doing it yourself but well worth it. I've gotten compliments from neighbors and people walking their dogs, so its not just me."

"Barry’s Seasonal Services did an excellent job taking care of our yard. Barry and his crew were responsive from the start, easy to communicate with, and very professional throughout the process. They not only handled the grass cutting and yard cleanup efficiently, but also took the extra step of sending photos to keep us informed and offering helpful recommendations for next steps. The quality of the work was strong, and everything was completed in a timely manner. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable for the level of service provided. Overall, a reliable and courteous team that we would confidently recommend."

"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

Foxtail grass is not native to the United States, so it is considered an invasive plant. Giant foxtail originated in eastern Asia, Green foxtail is native to Europe, and Yellow foxtail is native to Eurasia. This grass variety is one of many common invasive plant species that you should keep out of your yard and garden beds as much as possible.

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

This depends on how many leaves there are. Mowing over dry and crisp leaves with a bagging attachment saves most homeowners a lot of time. If you have a smaller lawn and few leaves to mulch, you can put the leaves into a stand-alone mulcher resembling a wood chipper and collect the mulch from a hopper. This prevents having to do multiple passes with a mower.

The best way to clean artificial turf is to use a stiff-bristled broom or rake to loosen up any large debris once a week. The process will also redistribute the infill material that keeps your turf blades standing up straight and evenly. For artificial turf maintenance, do not vacuum your turf or apply cleaning solutions. If you need to rinse the blades, spritz them with a light hose. 

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
