"Gary's Lawn Service has been maintaining my lawn care needs since the beginning of the season and has done an outstanding job. Highly competitive rate, always can be counted on to show up when expected, extremely personable and professional, and the best part is that my lawn looks amazing. Not the slap dash work I have seen in the past from other providers. I no longer have to worry about clumps of grass left behind, ruts or huge divots left by mowers, or garden mulch blown all over the lawn. I highly recommend Gary's Lawn service!"

"Oh my gosh I cannot believe how well and quickly they did the lawn. It looks beautiful. My large front yard was stripped filled in and sodded in less than three hours. They came a day ahead of the scheduled time, which was fantastic and started and finished so well and efficiently. It was a muddy messy job and my yard, driveway and surrounding area was cleaned up and looked better than before. Great job Leo and thanks to Maria for her friendly service."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Bermuda grass may be drought-resistant, but it still needs to be watered once or twice a week. The suggested amount of water Bermuda grass needs varies from season to season. Bermuda grass needs about 1 inch of water a week in summer, fall, and winter; it needs up to ¾ inch in spring.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.

Mowing a lawn will, unfortunately, not get rid of clover, and it may even encourage it to flourish. Let your lawn grow to a healthy height of over 3 inches and then set your mower blades no lower than this level. Higher grass will cut out the light that clover loves and discourage it from spreading.

The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion.
