"quality of work is good. One issue was they tried to change agreed upon price after work was completed, however, they did honor original estimate. When reviewing my outside cameras to understand why agreed upon maintenance cost increased 100% from a few months earlier it became clear, two employees at all times were sitting in their truck while the other two were working..."

One of the most peaceful sights you can see as you gaze out your window is a stand of healthy trees, their foliage stirring in the breeze. Keeping trees at their best is hard work, though. At Cutting Edge Tree Experts, we understand what is needed to maintain the health and beauty of your trees, and are committed to finishing every job efficiently and professionally. We'll consult with you to give you the best advice about the care of your trees and we'll see everything through, on time and at a price you can manage. We have a great deal of experience providing tree services of all kinds and we care deeply about leaving our customers happy

"My husband and I are completely satisfied with the highly professional, polite and personable service we received from all “Cutting Edge Tree Experts” staff (office administrator Laura, job estimator Gary, and Joe and his very competent tree removal/pruning team). It was a particularly hot day (8/3/22) and the crew arrived promptly. it was mesmerizing to watch the guys carefully remove a huge, live Bradford pear and 3 dead trees, and also trim back branches of an oak tree overhanging our roof on. They took great care to ensure our property was not damaged, mulched all tree debris on site and removed it, and cleaned up everything beautifully. Before leaving, Joe made sure we were happy with all aspects of their work. Owner Chad and his son also stopped by while the team was working and checked that we were okay with everything. An EXCELLENT company! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Seriously, this DNR-licensed, experienced, extremely reasonably priced company will be our go-to tree service company from now on."

"A 5 star rating is exactly what they deserve. A major storm hit our area,the heavy winds put a crack in the base of our huge tree .Derrick came out to analyze what needed to be done. He suggested to cut 20% of the tree and to place cables to ensure it doesn't split. A very professional crew came over and did a fantastic job 👏. We are so glad with the outcome."

"Fidel promptly came out for an estimate. The office staff was very pleasant and we were able to schedule the work quickly, within a few weeks. The crew showed up on time and were very polite and professional. There were 4 of them, they had the right equipment, and they completed the job efficiently. Fidel came by early, while they were working, and again later, after the job was done. I asked if he could have the crew come back to take off some more branches that were hanging into a neighbor's yard, and he did not hesitate to send them back the next day to finish the job to my satisfaction. I have used Alfaro's before and look forward to using them again, they do great work and provide excellent customer service."

We take pride in delivering the best possible customer service in the pest control industry. While we are clearly in the pest control industry what we really provide is customer service. We absolutely go out of our way for our customers. I take it personally. My entire family got Lyme disease in our backyard, that’s why we started the company. Patrick Durkin got West Nile Virus and almost died. This is more than just a business for us. While we might not be perfect, we sure strive for perfection and make sure we do our best to rid yards of ticks and mosquitos.

"Professional. Dependable. Excellent value. They email us the day before they treat the yard. We choose organic treatment over regular pesticides and tick tubes. Organic is around an 1/8 more expensive, but it is reasonable when comparing other competitors’ organic treatment prices. It has been worth it for our peace of mind and the safety of our pets and backyard wildlife. Highly recommend!"

"I had a truly disappointing experience with this company, and I will never recommend them to anyone. There were several aspects of their service that were disrespectful and unprofessional. Firstly, one of the major issues was how they addressed me based on my gender/s**. Instead of using my actual name as listed on the contract, the technician referred to me as "woman" and even went so far as to call me "Queen" with sarcastic hand gestures. This behavior was not only rude but also highly inappropriate. It's evident that they lacked basic respect and sensitivity towards their customers. Furthermore, the technician, Jamal, appeared to be too relaxed and overly familiar with customers he didn't know. I engaged their services for pest control, not for socializing. I expect a professional approach when dealing with such matters. However, Jamal seemed more interested in being friendly than actually addressing the pest issue. When I requested the technician to place poison in the bathroom, which was a covered area according to the contract, I faced unnecessary resistance. It was clear from a simple Google search that rodents are commonly found in bathrooms. Yet, Jamal was hesitant and claimed it was due to concerns about my dog. However, the fact that they had already placed traps and poison in other accessible areas of my home, including the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and basement, made this excuse seem baseless. The lack of communication and cooperation between the office and the workers was another evident problem. When I escalated the issue to the "owner" (whose actual ownership I couldn't confirm), I received no resolution or even a follow-up call. Instead of addressing the problem of an employee not fulfilling their duties, I was given an unnecessary rundown of rodent behavior. Additionally, there was a contradiction in what Jamal said he could and couldn't do. He claimed they couldn't move heavy items, but then proceeded to move the stove and refrigerator without any apparent problem. This discrepancy only added to the frustration I experienced. As a homeowner, I have every right to monitor the work being done and ask for proper coverage in areas where I've witnessed pest activity. However, Jamal seemed to push back whenever I made these reasonable requests. Overall, the lack of professionalism, disrespectful behavior, and failure to address the issue adequately left me deeply unsatisfied with their service. I hope to find a more reliable and respectful pest control company in the future."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Grass will grow back after being sprayed with vinegar. If you’re looking for an alternative to chemical herbicides, vinegar can help you manage weeds. Use a mixture of 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap to spray on your grass. This will kill the grass at the surface while keeping the roots intact, so it’ll eventually grow back. You’ll need to use an herbicide or manually remove the whole root system to get rid of grass for good.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.

Yes, in most cases, grass will return after your dog urinates on it. But without preventative measures, there’s always a chance your dog will pee on the grass again, leading to brown patches come summer. This aside, even if your grass is dead in patches, simply reseeding the dead spots should help restore your lawn. 

If you choose not to reseed your lawn, unaffected grass surrounding the dead patches will spread over any dead spots. But be prepared for this option to take longer—you likely won’t be able to grow grass fast.

Depending on the lawn treatments, the best times of the year to redo your lawn are between mid-August and mid-September for overseeding and renovation treatments. For areas such as the southern United States, lawn aeration works best during the fall, when the temperatures begin to drop. Otherwise, early spring is your next best bet because the grass is fresh and ready to absorb nutrients, and the temperature isn’t hot enough to fry the grass and the renovation materials.

Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:

  • Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.

  • Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.

  • Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.

  • Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.

  • Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.
