"I have my gardens mulched every year and this was the best job ever done. It looks wonderful! The workers arrived on the designated day and were very anxious to please. They did a great job. The neighbors have remarked about noticing the effort these people made and how nice it looks. The mulch was applied several inches deep and will do a great job of controlling weeds throughout the summer. I have already asked them to schedule me for next year."

"Chris Space was the point man for the installation and was prompt, courteous and extremely helpful. Our lawn had been saturated from the rains and there was some damage during installation which was taken care of with no hassle. The system is running perfectly and they were great in the setup and "how to" department."

"The team was very courteous, and very professional. My yard was in very bad shape. They did a wonderful job with my hedges and mulching that were previously destroyed by a Love Lawn Pro. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a team that takes pride in their work and who does exactly what they quote plus more. My yard looks fabulous . Thanks Mr Cruz. Job well done."

"We only wanted to water a very small lawn so in the end it wasn't cost effective. The estimator that came out to our house was excellent. She was very thorough and spent a great deal of time helping us figure out what made sense for our needs. She then spent time working up the estimate on the spot. Later when we decided not to install any system, she was gracious and helpful. We did get two other estimates. One company didn't even come to the house - just used google earth to map out a system. The other walked around for 5 minutes - and was gone. I would recommend Atlantic. In addition - Atlantic installed a system at our previous home and the service was great."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

You sure can mow your grass paver driveway–and it’ll look better if you do. Just push your lawnmower across like you would a paver-less lawn. For a really low-maintenance driveway option, you can use pebbles or other small stones between the pavers instead of grass. They’ll still allow rainwater to seep into the ground.

No, grass pavers don’t require a lot of maintenance. However, you’ll need to keep the grass in between the pavers trimmed down just like you would with your lawn.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.

You should mow your lawn first and water it afterward, in most cases. You should not mow when your lawn it’s wet as it could clog the blades. If you haven't been watering your lawn for an extended time or your area is experiencing a drought, water your grass first. Mowing thin, wispy grass can be difficult, so allow it to become fuller and thicker before mowing. Once it looks more lush and dry, go ahead and mow.

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.
