"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

If you have a large number of leftover roots, shrub branches, rocks, and soil to remove from your stump removal project, you may need to call a professional junk removal service. A small truckload of junk removal costs between $75 and $125 to haul away. You may also have a free composting center in your area where you can haul the materials on your own.

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.

In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn’s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. 

A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.

If you don’t remove a bush properly, it’ll come back each year. Removing the root system entirely is the only way to ensure the plant doesn’t have a chance to grow back. You can also use natural weed killers or you can choose to suppress the area with landscaping fabric. Additionally, consider planting alternative, non-invasive vegetation to deter the return of thorn bushes.
