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.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:

Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn.
Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment.
Remove grass from your yard so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.

Signs of overwatering in your lawn can include waterlogged or soggy soil, a perpetually damp surface, the presence of mushrooms or fungi, and grass that appears yellow or wilted. Overwatered grass often feels mushy underfoot, and you may notice an increase in pests like grubs. To avoid overwatering, ensure proper drainage with periodic lawn aeration and adjust your watering schedule to match your lawn's actual needs.

In most municipalities, lawn mowing companies only need a business license to operate. However, in some areas, landscaping companies must be licensed, insured, and bonded. Working with an unlicensed and uninsured company could mean you’re liable for any injuries on your property, which is a major risk that’s best to avoid. You can use Angi’s state license lookup tool to ensure that a company holds the proper licensing in your area before hiring them.
