"Royal arrived on time. I had not yet put out flags to mark sprinkler heads and they took over the job while I activated each zone. Aeration was done competently and completely with out tearing up lawn. Driveway was blown clean before they left. Highly recommend this company. Larry Chappel Brewster MA"

"The crew is friendly and hard-working. Job, the manager, listens and takes care of all the details we discussed. They got the job done in less time than expected and left the yard cleaner than when they started. I was so impressed with the quality of their work, I requested a quote for mulching and lawn mowing. Lais is the new office manager. She's friendly, professional, customer focused and thorough. She has an accounting background so she is great at dotting the I's and crossing the T's. I would highly recommend them."

"This was a wonderful experience. Our yard was in need of help, and Andre did not try to sell us something we didn't need. In fact, he explained what we did need and why. Andre is experienced, knowledgeable, professional and dependable. We plan on using him for all future garden/lawn needs. A real gem we found!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.

If you have a manageably-sized lawn and the ground is relatively even and free of debris, a reel mower can be very effective. That’s because reel mowers provide a cleaner, more precise cut compared to power rotary mowers. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to stay on top of your lawn maintenance: Reel mowers can’t handle grass that’s grown too tall or dense.

First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.

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.

The first step is killing any current nutgrass plants, either through application of herbicides or sugar, by digging up the plants and rhizomes, or by using soil solarization. To discourage new nutgrass plants from forming, ensure proper landscape drainage and bring shade into areas of the lawn that are consistently damp.
