The lawn looks terrible. I’m really disappointed in the quality of work that was done. They skipped a lot of the grass leaving it patchy, and uneven. The girl working was unprofessional. She did communicate quickly, though. The price was fair, but the work we paid for wasn’t done correctly.

They came out and did the recommended applications but my lawn still had weeds and bare spots. I notice another reviewer mentioned bare spots in the lawn. A technician came out but I got the same answer as the other reviewer about different kind of grasses. Funny that we never had bald spots...

"I was preparing a house to sell. The backyard was full of weeds and quite ugly. I contacted Brandon to see if he could make it look presentable for buyers. I told him I needed the job done pretty quickly. He got back to me and they came out within a week and tilled, weeded, and re-seeded it. The house was on the market only a few days and we got multiple offers. Everyone commented on how nice the yard looked. He is very courteous and professional and his price was very reasonable especially since he kind of did the job last minute for me. I'd highly recommend them."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.

You should mow your lawn first and water it afterward, in most cases. You should not mow when your lawn it’s wet as it could clog the blades. If you haven't been watering your lawn for an extended time or your area is experiencing a drought, water your grass first. Mowing thin, wispy grass can be difficult, so allow it to become fuller and thicker before mowing. Once it looks more lush and dry, go ahead and mow.

Here are some questions you should ask lawn mowing companies before hiring one to service your lawn:

How long have you been in business?
Are you licensed and fully insured?
Do you collect and haul away cut grass or mulch it and leave it behind?
Do you provide add-on services other than lawn mowing?
Do you plan to use herbicides and pesticides?
If I run into an issue with service, what does the resolution process look like?

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn’s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.
