"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!"

"Took four of us 20 minutes to clear away some junk which would have taken all weekend by myself. Then they graded away weeds and organic garden debris and leaves. Then they leveled out fresh top soil and provided proper grading for drainage. Then they laid and watered fresh dormant fescue sod, and gave me instructions for care. Worth every penny, took thier 4 man crew 6 hours to do a job which would have taken me a lifetime"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Signs of an overwatered lawn can be visual, physical, or related to pests and weeds. Visually, the grass may appear yellow, wilted, patchy, or thin instead of green and lush. You might also notice the presence of mushrooms, other fungal growths, or an increase in weeds like crabgrass. Physically, the soil may be waterlogged, soggy, and perpetually damp. An overwatered lawn often feels mushy or makes a squishing sound underfoot, even several hours after watering. Additionally, you may see an increase in pests such as grubs. To prevent overwatering, ensure your lawn has proper drainage through periodic aeration and adjust your watering schedule to meet its actual needs.

First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. 

Clover is a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to turfgrass, allowing homeowners to put away the mower while enjoying a lush and consistent lawn. The plant also attracts pollinators, adds nitrogen to low-nutrient soil, and holds up in a range of climates. Consult a local lawn care professional to determine whether replacing your grass with clover is right for your yard.

Apply fertilizer in early spring and late summer to promote robust growth through the seasons.
