"Jake and his crew are very fast, professional, and reliable! With very fair prices for lawn care needs, tried a few different company’s but no one compared to Living Greens quality and price."
"I reached out to him to inquire about a couple of stumps that needed removed. He came out super fast, gave a very reasonable quote. After we agreed on the price, he came out and made super quick work of the three stumps.
Will definitely be hiring again when I have more stumps that need removed."
"He did a great job. He was here on time a finished after cleaning up all the area. Very easy to work with. I will be recommending him to our neighbors and friends."
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
"Great husband and wife team. What started as one project turned into multiple projects. They were there working hard everyday until the job was done. Everything looks fantastic. Just the facelift my little house needed!!"

"Backwoods Landscaping did an excellent job at my house. I had them rework and improve several planting beds. Their rates are extremely affordable. They showed up on time and got straight to work. They offered to do additional work that I had forgotten to ask them do. They are conscientious and very hardworking. I was so impressed that no other landscaping company will be considered for future projects at my house. They will do any and all of my work from now on. I suggest anyone looking for lawn or landscaping work give these guys a call. I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I am."
"Clover lawn called me within 24 hours of the request. They communicated regularly with me, gave me a very reasonable estimate and stayed in touch. The job was completed above and beyond expectations, they even did a final mow after the leaves were removed - even though it wasn't part of the original estimate, without an additional charge. The yard, flower beds and driveway were immaculate. Will use again, they are excellent and very nice people."
The fastest way to rid your yard of pesky stickers or burs is to go mechanical on them with a lawn mower or garden rake. Use a lawnmower with a bagger attachment to avoid spreading the seeds around and causing a bigger issue. If you choose to rake the stickers off the plants, be sure to dispose of them properly. Avoid putting them in with the composting and check local guidelines for disposing of lawn waste.
Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.
Yes, but it depends on what you have planted in yours and the extent of the damage. Hardier shrubs and plants with droopy leaves have a better chance of bouncing back, but do go ahead and cut back any broken branches or damaged portions. Fertilizer can help, but wait until you spot new growth before you feed any plants.
To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.
To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.
