"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."

"UNBELIEVABLE...I hired this company to perform landscaping to three yards, my personal yard included. As a senior, disabled, homebound individual I requested that before/after pics be emailed to me bi weekly. NOPE! Enrroll, friendly as can be, was here to pick up payment yet when questioned about the pics, excuses included many, but mostly I sent them. NOPE! not received and nothing in spam, he should have rec an error msg or tripled check email address and had his partner Jerome, People Choice Landscaping, the landscaper finally email me a pic of the two yards only to discover they had been cutting the wrong lot and presented me duplicate pic of the multiplex yard and collected payments. I pulled my contractor off a job and requested he visit the lot to which he reported grass up to my knees and took pics. WTH, JD is NOT cheap and I had provided addresses that border the lot, no excuses accepted. Normally, I am noted for paying immediately, however, caution took a turn and tapped me on the shoulder whereby, I was on my 3 payment owning which made us equal for the yard they had not cut 5xs....needless to say, when confronted and advised we were even, all hell broke loose w/Jerome who advised to get someone else duh, u do not have to tell me once, I would think that this would have been their solution. BTW....had he not fired me, he had agreed a decrease his bi weekly fee....yeah, right! Needless, to say he finally submitted a pic of the RIGHT LOT that had an OVERDUE cutting. Luckily, I was not cited by the city. NOTE: This is not one of those redundant, synchronized reviews"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

You can leave grass clippings on the lawn, depending on their length. You don’t want to completely cover new grass and block it from sunlight, or encourage moss crowd out the more delicate grass. However, short clippings are usually fine to leave on the lawn. In some cases, they can be beneficial: Clippings can be a source of fertilizer and help protect the ground as young grass blades develop.

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.

If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home’s climate conditions. You can extend your grass’ lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.

Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.

You can mow the grass when it’s dry to the touch, usually between 2 and 5 hours if it was a light rainfall or morning dew. If the rainfall was significant, you may need to wait up to 2 days until the grass is dry. Touch the grass and soil to determine if it’s dry. Be sure to check in shady areas too, as those can take longer to dry out.
