"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

Lawn mower blades should be sharp enough that you can feel the sharpened edge, but not sharp enough to cut you when you touch them. Over-sharpening blades to a fine, razor-edge poses a safety risk and decreases the blade's life because it causes extra wear; the thinner edge is sharper but weaker and will require more frequent sharpening.

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.

Mowing your grass regularly, especially if you’re mowing close to the ground, can help kill Johnsongrass. Frequent mowing helps limit the spread of Johnsongrass and can even deplete carbohydrate reserves in rhizomes over time. The more time you leave in between mowing, the more likely Johnsongrass is to regrow and take over your lawn. 

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

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.
