"Garden Guys is a great company. They have mowed my lawn for a number of years and always do a very nice job. Justin has been the one who mowed my lawn for the last two years which has been very nice. I have asked him to do a few small things around the yard and he always remembers. We are in the planning stages for some new plantings in my front yard. Jack has come over and put a plan together as I currently have almost no curb appeal. We are going to install some trees in my front lawn, shrubs and flowers along my house and a new front walkway. We are going with a nice grey paver to contrast the colors of my siding which was Jack's idea. We are finalizing the planting choices and I cant have to have flowers all season long! Cant recommend enough"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

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.

The best time to top dress your lawn depends on what type of grass you have and what climate you live in. Cool-season grass should be top dressed in late fall, while warm-season grass should be top dressed in late spring.

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.

Sugar water helps the microorganisms in the soil break down nutrients, thus helping certain plants grow. In other words, it is okay to water plants with sugar water, but exercise caution and never rely on sugar when fertilizing your grass. Sugar is not plant food and, if applied too liberally, kills the plants you intend to help.

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.
