Very professional and listened to my concerns. Did a great job putting down my flooring. Came back and took care of some issues. They put down vinyl planks, that look like wood, but are more durable. They’ll do a good job for you. Tania and another installer were great.

Wonderful experience. Clay came out for a service call and ended up staying and taking care of the HVAC issues that day. He was thorough, honest, and perhaps the most polite human I've ever encountered. When I replace my older HVAC unit (sooner than later), this will be the company I go with.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Another name for a lawn worker is a lawn maintenance or service professional. When shopping around for quotes at multiple lawn care companies, ask a representative for the preferred term their professionals use. That way, you can be sure to politely address the professionals when they service and care for your lawn.

It never hurts to ask a lawn care professional if their prices are negotiable, but generally, they aren’t. However, you might be able to negotiate a deal on bundled services from the same lawn care service. Consider talking to your lawn mowing service provider about discounts on other services, like tree removal, leaf removal, snow removal, or weeding.

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts.

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.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.
