Q: Do treatments include follow-up inspections?

• <div><p>Yes, most exterminators provide follow-ups to ensure all bed bugs are eradicated.</p></div>

Q: How do you thicken new grass?

• <div><p>You can thicken new grass by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fertilizer.htm">using fertilizer</a>, watering it 1 to 1&frac12; inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on lawn care?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they&rsquo;re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.</p></div>

Q: What kills clover but not the grass?

• <div><p>Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/lawn-maintenance-checklist.htm">lawn maintenance checklist</a>.</p></div>

They have been working to get my yard tuned up since last Spring (the dandelions were gone quite quickly). They are not pushy and work within my budget. I didn't give a grade for Quality as of yet, which has NO reflection on this company. It's my yard that will take time to get back in shape....

Unhappy with my former mowers I happened to see my neighbor's lawn service around and asked for a price to mow mine. Elite turned out to be cheaper and better. The team isn't temperamental and always tries to please. I tend to be a bit picky. They are also willing to go the extra mile. I...

We didn't like them very much. They had moved all their offices out of town. They still had people that would do the work, but they didn't have any offices in town. They didn't have an office in town where you could talk to anyone about billing or anything like that. It was all out of town. We...

They always call the night before and leave an explanation of what they did and if needed, recommendations on what should be done. They always arrive when they say they will and their employees are professional. I highly recommend them!
