Do lawn care companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, landscaping companies require a business license to operate legally, and some require additional licenses, like general contractor licenses. You can use Angi's <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm if a company in your area holds the necessary licensing. Equally as important as the license is insurance. Before hiring any lawn care company, you should confirm that it is fully insured. This measure protects you from lawsuits, and it also protects the employees in the case of an injury or unemployment.</p></div>

When is the best time of year to fix lawn depressions?

• <div><p>It’s best to fix lawn depressions <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-lawn-care-and-landscaping-tips.htm">during late spring</a>. You want to wait until after your last frost date and when the yard is not too wet. This also allows ample time for new grass growth once you reseed. </p></div>

Q: How much should I water my lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Watering the lawn after aeration is crucial for getting the most benefits out of it. Not watering the lawn enough will cause the efforts of aeration to be in vain. Light and frequent watering will prevent the soil and grass seeds from drying out, but too much watering can create a muddy mess and wash the seeds away. Watering twice a day is a good benchmark.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time of year to fix lawn depressions?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to fix lawn depressions <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-lawn-care-and-landscaping-tips.htm">during late spring</a>. You want to wait until after your last frost date and when the yard is not too wet. This also allows ample time for new grass growth once you reseed. </p></div>

Q: How do you rough up soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>The easiest way to rough up soil to accept grass seed and provide the best opportunity for its growth is to make several passes over the area with a garden tiller and rake away the loosened vegetation and debris. However, in some cases, very hard ground may require using a shovel or pick to break up pieces into smaller chunks that the tiller can handle more easily. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>When you don&rsquo;t aerate your lawn, the soil will become more compact over time. This limits how much water can soak in to reach the roots of your grass, and it keeps oxygen and carbon dioxide from the plant roots. This can limit grass growth, which may sound great for limiting mowing, but it also leads to a lawn full of grass that looks dull and sparse. Eventually, compacted soil can weaken grass, while also making it more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and erosion and even causing it to die off.</p></div>

The service exceeded my expectations in every way. I couldnâ t recognize the lawn after the company completed the work. The lawn was a total mess with over grown ivy everywhere In addition to numerous weeds that hid fencing that I didnâ t know was even there.

The company makes a moss control product but will not apply it to my lawn. Instead they make excuses as to why not. They totally ignored my weed problem.

Excellent, the crew of 4 came on a Friday and Monday and all parts of described job were completed. They used hard plastic skids to protect my lawn. Walked my wife and both neighbors thru what was going to be done. Chipped up all debris on sights. Use boom to reach tree tops and high branches.

It was great. They did very good. I use them year round. They do all my lawn care and all my snow removal. They trim the shrubs. They just do everything. I've had them for 12 years. They usually come once a week. The workers are great. Mowing for me is $52, including the tax. That's trimming,...

I have used DTELC for several years now. If you pre-pay for the entire year, you save some money. If I were to purchase fertilizer and apply it myself, the cost would be the same. I tried that for years with limited success until I hired DTELC. The weeds are gone from my lawn. Money well spent.

Mr. Meehan rescued my lawn after the home builder left my property and "so called seeding" in a mess of weeds and poor quality grass. I now have a nice lawn because of the efforts of Meehan Turf Care.
