What should I consider when caring for my lawn?

• <div><p>Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">guarantee your grass won’t die</a> (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate. </p></div>

How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

In the first discussion before beginning the timing they may not get to the back yard. The cost of service was based on 3hrs and that was split into two workers of 1.5 hrs. They completed the front and the back yard with time to clean up and bag all the leaves. The yard looked great and the back...

The edgeing of the front yard is beautiful, but the cost was wat TOO high. I plan to use someone else for the whole yard next year. He will charge me less that Dave's price for the entire yard.

The job took 2 and a half days and went well. There were multiple workers per day and they all seemed to be working pretty hard when I got home from work. 20 yards of mulch were estimated for our yard (we live on almost 0.75 acres) and they needed 22 yards. I think the price of mulch per yard...

Great! Ground Control was able to take care of a gigantic amount of yard waste (even in bad weather) promptly and for a very reasonable price. The left my driveway (where all the yard waste was piled) completely neat and clean. I would use them again in a heartbeat for any yard work.

Louie, the owner, has provided prompt attention and service in the past 3 years that I've worked with him. My yard looks well taken care of and I receive compliments particularly on the mulching around the edges of the garden and the large area surrounding the prominent front yard trees. Louie...

The crew was fantastic. We have a pretty flat, common yard but have an invisible dog fence that has a shallow, buried wire. The crew was meticulous in making sure to avoid breaching the system yet still did a thorough job on our yard. They even cleared a few leaves to properly seed the yard. I...

Could not have been better. Trees look so much better, and the yard looks great. They were neat, prompt, courteous, and very professional. My neighbor requested a bid for their yard, after seeing mine.
