"Terrible experience. They showed up four (4) weeks late for each of the first two treatments, giving me another year of a lousy looking lawn. They then proceeded to call me and email me multiple times after I quite clearly told them I was not employing them again under any circumstances. "

"Amazing! Lee is a pleasure to work with and is super diligent about his efforts. He took hours to walk our yard and woods to find and treat all poison ivy on the ground and in the trees (we have a big property and had a lot). Lee found it all and then on his return trip to ensure all is eliminated he treated anything new or if he had missed any. We're happy to say its all gone now and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Lee for being diligent and being very careful about treating just the plants and vines so as not to harm anything else. Thanks so much!!!"

Services Metro Boston Area. Licensed and Certified Arborists. 9 Employees. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Additional phone number - (617) 524-8733.

"Bob and team were fantastic. We had two trees we knew we wanted trimmed, but Bob came out and walked the entire yard with me, giving me suggestions and reasoning behind such suggestions. When the team came to do the job, everyone was friendly and accommodating of my many questions. At one point the team left, and I wasn't satisfied with the product, so I called Bob who came back within 5 min and had the team come back and finish until I was completely content. We will be using them again for any future tree-trimming needs. For the price conscious, the Arborway team was slightly more expensive for the larger of the two jobs (2800 vs. $2400 and $2000 from two other companies), but comparable pricing for the smaller tree ($620 vs. $620 and $600). That being said, if a big tree is done poorly, it makes a much larger impact. I am very pleased that I left the tree in their capable hands."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using vinegar for grass works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers.

You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.

Fast-track your seeds to success by pre-soaking them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with tap water. The water will penetrate the husk and moisten the embryos inside. After one day of soaking, sow the seeds in the soil. Never soak the seeds for more than one day (unless the specific variety calls for longer), as prolonged soaking could cause them to rot.

Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It’s also easy to establish in yards.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
