"This was a yard that had not been ared for in over 6 weeks because of being out of town. Mr. Idol did an amazing job going beyond just mowing! He will be my regular lawn care person from now on!"
"I made an inquiry on home advisor early in the morning and wilson's turf management got out to house quickly and gave me a fair estimate. I hired them and had the work done by end of day. They mowed the back portion of my mother in law's yard and it looked 100% better."
"I can honestly say I am more satisfied than I expected. They went above and beyond my expectations of what I thought my yard could look like. They cleaned up my back yard of all the trash and debris, as well as cut and weed eated it. I will definitely be hiring them again for any future projects around the house!"
"Excellent service and priced fairly. They work very efficiently. Will definitely use them again for any repairs and also for spring start up and winterization."
"I would definitely use this company again for my yard because my sprinklers are working better then they ever have with no trouble, thanks too Smith irrigation and Landscaping!!"
"They have a great team of workers. Professional work was the hallmark of this project. My sprinkler system is up and running covering the entire front yard. Kind and courteous personnel who followed up their installation with care and concern. I would hire them again."
"The work was performed in a professional manner with excellent results. Upon completion of the work I was asked to inspect the work and was asked if there were any concerns/issues with the job. The job site was clean and all debris was removed."
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.
Experts remove leaves methodically, preventing mold and allowing sunlight to strengthen grass, promoting robust growth.
If you have a lot of trees around your home, mulching all those leaves can smother the lawn. Air and light won't reach the grass and soil if too many leaves have been mulched. Turf grass and other lawn problems can arise if the weather is too wet and excessive leaves have been mulched.
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.
It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.
Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.
