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

Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can save time and money on lawn maintenance by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you.

They maintain profitability by setting competitive rental prices, reducing vacancies through effective marketing, and ensuring tenants renew leases by offering well-maintained properties.

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.

Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.

Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you’ve figured out what’s making your grass look bad, you’ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:

Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.
Use healthy irrigation techniques.
Use the right amount of fertilizer.
Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.
Use fungicides.
