"On June 8th 2020 I purchased a 2006 vehicle from Walter D. Melevsky. This vehicle had been registered to Go Green Landscaping Inc as a commercial vehicle. Although there was no implied warranty Mr. Melevsky stated that the vehicle was in perfect working order and there were no issues that he was “aware of.” The Odometer read 72,273 miles when I took ownership of the vehicle. When the mileage read 72,580 (307 miles) The vehicle was sitting at an auto shop; with an as the mechanic said “utterly annihilated and completely blown transmission. That had sent pieces into the cooler.” The bill for this repair was $4,334.96. . When I spoke to Mr Melevsky he was immediately defensive and was quick to point out he sold the vehicle with no warranty and had no idea what I “did to it.” He offered absolutely zero compensation, and didn't even go as far to apologize that this had happened. After consulting with 7 mechanics about what unfolded here, the popular opinion is that the owner “had to have known. ” Specifically the theory is that the transmission fluid may have been changed out and the car let sit until someone came to test/buy the vehicle. Even an experienced mechanic (I took the vehicle to be looked at before purchase) would not have been able to identify this specific problem without disassembling the entire transmission which would not be feasible. The issue would become apparently after 4-6 engine hours. So in conclusion, whether Walter owner or GO Green Landscaping Inc acted nefarious is unconfirmed but likely. Judging by this companies other reviews he/they don’t seem to care much about customer service. Take your business elsewhere, and certainly don’t buy any vehicles from them."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You can fertilize right after mowing as long as you've collected the clippings. If you leave grass clipping, they can form a mat that prevents the fertilizer from reaching the soil. Plus, grass clippings are rich in nitrogen, so if you leave them and then apply fertilizer, you can end up with too much nitrogen in the soil.

Depending on the species, most fescue grasses thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, though some varieties can thrive as far as zone 10. While it’s a cool-season grass, it has the unique ability to adapt and thrive in many different types of climates. For this reason, you'll mostly find fescue grasses throughout the transitional temperature zones of the country.

If you apply too much fertilizer to your grass, it can take about three weeks to recover. If you still have dead patches after three weeks, it might be time to remove the dead grass and overseed the affected area. Since overfertilizing can also cause problems with fungus, leading to further damage to the grass, monitor your grass color and growth for one month after over fertilizing.

Starting a mowing business can be profitable if you manage your business wisely, calculate costs accurately, and invest in time-efficient, high-quality equipment. With good customer service, you can lock in loyal customers who invest in weekly lawn care services that turn your business into a successful one. 

Lawn care businesses can earn anywhere from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year depending on how you operate, but you’ll need to factor in the cost of equipment to determine your actual profit margins.

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall.
