"Prior to starting the job, Dig Safe was notified and scheduled a survey of vital areas on the property.
Day 1 started with the removal of the plastic edging and flag placement for all sprinkler zones.
The next day the garbage was removed from site and there was a wait until Dig Safe survey was completed.
In the weeks to follow, Excavation was conducted in a logical way as to minimize large machinery travel over the lawn.
My immaculate lawn was pretty much destroyed and Rick assured my that it will return to normal.
I want to note that at the end of there work day the work areas were cleaned up and areas that were potentially hazardous were roped off with yellow tape.
The patio was the first to be completed, followed by parts of the house perimeter sailor border then the pool perimeter border.
The front steps were brought in next and they encountered issues with the Granite pieces. Gagne and Sons were quick in the response of getting replacement pieces the next day.
Finally, the asphalt driveway was removed and the excavation had begun.
With the Driveway installation completed, They tied in all the sailor border areas that were not yet completed and focused on lawn repair.
The Lawn repair was also coordinated with irrigation relocation and repair. This was a little frustrating due to the scheduling difficulties. I have to say the Ronnie of Casco Bay Irrigation worked several weekend days to get things ready between different stages of the project.
I am quite pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Organics Lawn And Landscape to anyone.

Weed Services questions, answered by experts

No, it's not really possible to completely prevent weed growth. Weeds are incredibly resilient—all they usually need is a tiny bit of dirt to sprout, so their eventual appearance is pretty much inevitable. However, you can definitely keep them at bay by getting rid of weeds as soon as you notice them. The longer you let them sit and grow roots, the more they'll spread.

The main problem with crabgrass is that it produces thousands of seeds that can remain dormant until the following season. To get rid of it, you have to remove existing plants before they have a chance to spread seeds and stop old seeds from germinating.

Very carefully. You should be cautious when using any of the above methods, as any one of them could lead to you accidentally killing desired grasses and plants. However, there are selective herbicides that can target certain plants over others. Look for a product that only affects the type of weeds you want to eliminate and spares the plants you want to keep.

Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to remove the moss immediately to prevent damage.

The safest method to avoid killing your turf grass is hand pulling Johnsongrass. You can also apply vinegar for a safer herbicide, but it will still burn your lawn if it gets on it.
