"Only company to return my call for lawn irrigation repairs. I had called 7 different companies.. Prompt. Knowledgeable. Worked with my concerns. Educated me along the way. Made suggestions where appropriate. I am extremely pleased with their service and business model. They worked me into their schedule 2 days prior to my booked appointment. Followed up with me 2 days later to ensure all was well and to inquire if further adjustments need to be made. I will use no other for my lawn irrigation needs. They are the best!!!"
"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."
"Jay did a great job cutting my tree limbs time.. He work in a timely manner... Also he was very productive and very well mannered.. He also removed some brinks that was on my yard..."
"From the beginning to the end, Tyler and his crew at Southern Specialties did a fantastic job laying sod in my front yard. I can’t say enough good things about how professional everyone was during the process. From removing old tree stumps, leveling yard, laying sod & making sure my sprinkler system was working, the crew went above and beyond to make my experience a pleasurable one. The yard looks amazing! Tyler and his entire team come highly recommended!"
"Removed and cleaned fence. Could not be more pleased with professional and respectful job. Will be using again. If you want the job done correctly please use these folks. They are wonderful."
Mushrooms do not harm your yard. In fact, they can actually help improve your lawn health by decomposing woody organic matter in your soil, and breaking it down into nutrients that feed your grass and plants.
A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.
The cost of yard work depends on the type of work you need done. The average cost of lawn care is $300, but you could pay as little as $100 or up to $500.
Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs—their main food source—will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common.
The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).
