"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"

"DuFort did not do a good job. In the spring I was constantly calling for when they would show up. The weekly mows were finally consistent then came a price increase. I have never received a price increase in the middle of the season. When I received the increase on a bill it was more than he said. I sent emails but no response. He did the fall cleanup in very early November when the leaves were still on the trees. Needless to say, I am in the process on now trying to find someone to do a fall cleanup. I do not recommend this company. Maybe he was better in previous year but not for me."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

An aboveground pool should be level within 1 inch—and it starts to become unsafe after a couple of inches. Any slope will lead to an uneven distribution of water, which will put pressure on your pool’s structure, wearing down the pool liner. In certain cases, it could cause your pool to collapse. Even if you’re within a safe window, you may still notice that the water level is uneven.

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won’t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.

Fixing a depression in your lawn is a DIY for small dips, divots, or slight slopes. You can either remove sod and earth to lower the uneven ground or add premixed topsoil and reseed the lawn to raise it. You can also hire a yard grading company near you for professional help.

A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there’s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.

Pea gravel is hands down a top pick for managing landscape drainage.  These small stones allow water to flow through easily by creating natural gaps that promote runoff. Beyond functionality, pea gravel also offers visual versatility. Homeowners will find a range of earthy tones like gray, brown, blue, and even red, making it easy to match with different outdoor styles and plantings.
