"I recently hired Rutland to help get rid of weeds in my yard. My yard had several different types of weeds. The technician explained the treatment he was using and the types of weeds that would be killed. I still have a lot of weeds in my yard but on the flip side, a lot of weeds have died. I look forward to continuing to work with Rutland through their subscription program to eliminate more weeds."

"Oscar and Marisol came to my house to offer an estimate. They arrived on time and were very professional. Oscar was very knowledgeable and spoke to each of our specific issues with full awareness as to what needed to be done. Afterward, they provided a full estimate within a day (which was earlier than I had asked for) - and their prices were very reasonable. I ended up going with a different quote simply because the other contractor was more local to me. So I cannot speak to their work... yet. However, if things go sour with the other contractor, you can be sure I will be reaching back out to Marisol and Oscar for their help!"

"Grasshopper Irrigation is the quickest and most diligent outdoor irrigation company around. I smiled when I saw the name of the company and every time I see our beautiful lawn. Part of me has to say I am very hoppy, but only to underscore how giddy I am to have a great lawn. Hire them."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.

How often you should maintain your yard depends on your climate and what season it is. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a lawn height of three inches.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

If you have a large area of brush and vegetation to clear, forestry mulching may be the best option. This method works well for relatively flat areas that don’t have many large rocks or mature trees to clear. Forestry mulching is a relatively quick process that improves soil health, reduces fire risk, and leaves behind usable mulch.

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.
