"David did an excellent job assembling and filling 2 large flower beds for me. He does excellent work. I'm so impressed. Also, the project was completed in a timely manner. Great communication to make sure they were placed exactly where and how I wanted them. I highly recommend him. I plan to hire him again to work on my house."

"We hired Bobby for a variety of projects around our home, including lighting installation, camera setup, gym equipment installation, and several other home improvement tasks. He was extremely respectful, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how detail-oriented he was — he regularly asked for my opinion on placement, setup, and finishing touches that I honestly would not have thought about myself. He worked quickly while still being very conscientious of our time and our home. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. In fact, I already have recommended him to several friends and family members, and they’ve all had great experiences as well."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.

Some states have bans on disposing of yard waste in plastic bags in landfills. Yard waste takes up space in landfills and releases methane gas when disposed of improperly. It's best to repurpose it naturally to benefit your garden and the environment.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.
