"I just received an email with the annual service agreement for my lawn sprinkler system. This will be the 23rd year that I have used Metro Lawn. The contract won't do any work until April, so there is no immediate report on "how did it go". Based on past experience I expect it all to go very well. This company has always done a great job, prompt, professional and knowledgable in their work."

"Most of the companies I talked too wanted to do the lawn or put in hardscaping. Leon is a true gardener; he knows plants! Their work was above and beyond my expectations. I've already asked them to come back and expand my garden. Leon was so hands on . He carefully reviewed all the work his helpers did and really listened to what I wanted. Showed up on time and quickly responded to my call. I'll be using Leon every season. I have found my gardener!"

"After agreeing on a time to meet, arrived on time to look at yard that needed clean up. Was supposed to get an estimate back quickly but it turned into a several day wait. Had to call to remind we were still waiting. Once back on track, the maintenance person came to rake up the yard and did a good job with my rake. His was a skinny metal tined rake that was pulling up the grass so I supplied a bigger, wider plastic rake so he could get the job done quicker. I have scheduled to have them back to do the lawn mowing so I'm happy with there work."

"I recommend Fred for home improvements and repairs. Fred removed my deck that was falling apart! He was dependable and communicated every step! Another company never followed up with me regarding my deck but Fred came over the same day I reached out and gave me an estimate. I plan to continue to work with Fred on home projects!!!"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

Your grass-growing schedule depends on where you live and the variety of grass in your lawn. Cool-season grasses typically stop between November and April with a slowdown at the peak of summer. Warm-season grasses will slow when temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit in December and January. Hiring a great lawn care team can help you pinpoint the right moment to cut back on mowing.

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.
