"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

"Tim's company installed a fairly large sprinkler system on our property (59 heads in 12 zones) and the project was absolutely seamless from start to finish. We were blown away by the condition of the grass when they finished installing the lines. The team took great care in putting the grass as best they could and now a week later you can barely notice that they dug massive trenches and buried 2300 LF of pipe over 12" deep throughout. We started talking with Tim almost a year before the project took place and he answered countless questions and emails that we had throughout the process. His communication and customer service is excellent. He uses state-of-the-art technology for his heads, controllers and valve boxes (Hunter). Near the end of the project we also opted to have him install LED lighting at the same time (since he was tearing up the yard anyway). He installed a low-voltage transformer along with 16 FX Luminaire LED lights that really make our house, trees and hardscape features POP at night. We could not be any happier with the whole experience and the quality of his work. Tim came out and spent 2 hours with us demonstrating the sprinkler system and showing us how to program the system to make changes to days/run times/zones in the future. He offers winterization and de-winterization services for the sprinkler systems he installs so we will be using him every year to handle that for us. THANKS AGAIN TIM!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun.
