"Very professional and very neat. There was very minor lawn damage, but there was some in the areas where they did the stump grinding. I was somewhat disappointed that lawn repairs were not part of the bid. Iâ ll still give them 5 stars and certainly use them again!"

"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."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can overwater your lawn. While water is essential for growth, too much can be damaging. Overwatering keeps the soil saturated, which can suffocate roots, kill beneficial bacteria, and starve the grass of nutrients and oxygen, leading to root rot. This can occur due to a leaky irrigation system, a rainy season, or using a sprinkler too often. In addition to harming your lawn's health and longevity, overwatering can also increase your water bill.

Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.

While it's a good idea to water your grass during a drought or when temperatures are high, you should not water your lawn every day. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. Avoid watering in the middle of the day or when the temperature is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, as the extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water your lawn in the summer is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening, such as between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., when it's cooler.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.

Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you’ve figured out what’s making your grass look bad, you’ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:

  • Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.

  • Use healthy irrigation techniques.

  • Use the right amount of fertilizer.

  • Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.

  • Use fungicides.
