"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

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

Another name for a lawn worker is a lawn maintenance or service professional. When shopping around for quotes at multiple lawn care companies, ask a representative for the preferred term their professionals use. That way, you can be sure to politely address the professionals when they service and care for your lawn.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

As a beginner, start by mowing your lawn in symmetrical rows by turning the mower at the end of each row and overlapping with the previous row. Use an edging tool or weedwacker to make your lawn look sharp and crisp around the edges, and then sweep the debris back into the yard. Take it slow, and know that you can adjust your approach or pattern the next time your grass needs a clip.

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