Zach did a great job on our lawn. He cut, trimmed and blew the clippings so it looked very nice. He was on time and did this on one of the hottest days. I would recommend him for your lawn care.

Not good. I agreed to pay Allens Tree to cut down and cut up several trees into 5 foot sections but after 5 months I still have a large brush pile and many half cut trees. The owner/principals are obnoxious and quite belligerent. It's obvious they couldn't care less about the customer. Never...

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Hiring a lawn service company can free up your schedule for other tasks and ensure high-quality results. However, doing some of the maintenance yourself can reduce your monthly costs. Another factor to consider if it's worth it is whether you already own lawn equipment and tools you will need to keep your yard looking lush. Ultimately, it depends on your budget, schedule, and the type of tasks you need to complete.

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

Cut your lawn a bit shorter before the winter, typically between 2 and 2½ inches, depending on the variety of grass. On average, the best height to cut grass typically falls between 2 and 3 inches throughout the year. Aim for the shorter side of this range when you mow for the last time of the year to avoid common winter lawn diseases and moisture issues.

Yes—hiring a professional lawn care company is worth it if you don’t have much free time to devote to lawn care. Lawn care pros will ensure that your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, and you’re guaranteed to have a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aside from that, it’s a convenient service that frees up your time so you can do the things you love and enjoy.

Yes, watering after you level a lawn is essential. Water helps settle the soil, eliminating air pockets and encouraging the newly-applied topdressing to bond with the existing surface. Adequate watering aids in achieving a smoother and more even lawn surface. However, be sure to avoid overwatering, which could lead to soil erosion or compaction issues.
