"We are thrilled with the job Manolo and his crew did for us. He did exactly what we asked him to do and also had some good suggestions. He did a Big clean up, pruned, weeded, mulched, cut the grass. He will be taking care of our lawn over ththe summer. I am recommending him to my friends who are in need of these services. The price was more than fair - reliable and professional. 10 stars from us."

"They showed up on time and began to work immediately. They explained what would be done and even took my suggestions about the placement of sprinkler heads seriously. Very respectful of property. Cleaned up and reviewed what they did before they left. Just a very professional company and work crew. Will continue to have them service my system in the future."

"You hear these horror stories of people who take your money and get back to you whenever they feel like it, but this was the complete opposite. They gave me a clear breakdown of costs, told me when they were going to start, and when they were going to be done, and did exactly what they said they would do at exactly the budget they said they'd do it at. I honestly had no idea how they were going to demolish a shed, move a couple of trees, set up a retaining wall, and re-create my front and back lawns in, like, a week. But they did, and it turned out wonderfully."

"Bob and his team are terrific. Bob has done my yard and lawn care for several years now, and he is consistently wonderful. Always responsive and very flexible, putting up with my occasionally idiosyncratic requests, and always willing to work creatively as my husband and I are trying to reclaim a rather unruly back yard as we shift from a lawn to shade plants. Bob is awesome!"

"We needed the lawn leveled, dirt added, fertilizer and seed put down. This team was amazing! They started early, didn't stop, and did it with a smile on their face on an extremely hot day. I was also impressed at how they cleaned up after themselves, and recommended other items, like removing some tree branches to ensure sun got it to help the grass grow. I was quoted double by others. They showed up two days after I was quoted, and agreed and got it all done in a day. I will use them for everything I need in the future!!"

"Fantastic job. From beginning with the estimate to finishing up the installation of the new lawn everything went smoothly. Aurelio and his assistant returned the next morning in the snow to complete the last section of lawn. A true professional goes that extra mile for his customers."

"Anthony came and we talked about the project I wanted done. He was very professional and knowledgeable about what I wanted. He arrived with his crew on time and ready to get started. Anthony told the crew of four what to do and they all got started. They worked very hard and well with each other getting the job done. What a job they did my front yard and back yard are looking great with no leaves or papers that were blown in. I have hired Anthony to mow my lawns every other week thatâ s what an impression he and his crew made on me. Thank you â Thunderâ"

"I highly recommend MC Tree Service. They arrived promptly with a very large truck and trailer containing all the equipment needed. I had been suffering for 2 weeks with a very itchy and widespread rash from poison ivy or plant based allergy from my yard, which was overgrown with tons of weeds, including poison ivy. Fernando and his team member very energetically got rid of all the weeds and ivy, working non-stop from 7:30AM till after 3:30PM, wearing professional protective uniforms. They made borders and beds around my nice plants, removed all the leaves from under the deck, and totally transformed my yards. Now I don't have to worry about myself or my cat accidentally brushing past or walking on poisonous plants. This service didn't come cheap, but I desperately needed the work done and am very glad I spent the money and got lucky choosing this contractor."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to ¾ inch in spring.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. 

Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.

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. 

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.
