"Wesley worked hard to tear up the old lawn and install new sod. He was efficient and open to suggestions. My lawn looks great! Elbert was very patient in answering all my questions and gave me good advice on where to get good soil and sod. His price was reasonable. The day before the project, he confirmed everything with me to make sure the job will be done smoothly. He was thorough and professional!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Leisha, Robert, and the rest of the GBTY team have completed several landscape projects for us over the past couple years, and they do fantastic work. We had a 20-year-old vegetable garden with timber-framed raised beds on a slope in various stages of wearing out. They replaced and repaired the timbers and walkways in place without tearing down the whole garden. This was a very hard job done well that required careful work around irrigation and fencing in process of replacement as well as preservation of fertile garden soil. We are partway through another project where they have carefully removed invasive species across one side of our property and will be planting a meadow of native plants as an alternative to conventional lawn in the spring. GBTY has also spruced up and helped maintain our many beds of flowering plants. GBTY is a versatile and enthusiastic team that is easy to work with and can tackle any landscape project."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.

To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.

Yes, it's common for lawns to look bare after dethatching. Dethatching brings soil to the surface to create a "bald" look on your lawn. While you may choose to patch or reseed your lawn if bare patches seem excessive, it's normal for a lawn to look bare after dethatching. With the layer of debris that was blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching your grass now gone, your lawn is likely to grow better than ever.
