"I can’t say enough about how awesome Dustin James is. I had a townhouse to sell that needed work. The tasks ranged from fixing a threshold to installing blinds and a ceiling fan. In addition, when the installers of the new countertops did not connect the plumbing, Dustin did that too. He accomplished all the tasks efficiently and effectively, and at a very reasonable cost. His extensive knowledge of construction was invaluable and meant the work didn’t drag on and was done flawlessly. Dustin also communicated extensively throughout the engagement. In fact, his work was done so well that our property went under contract the first day it was on the market. I cannot recommend Dustin enough. He is 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."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Experts remove leaves methodically, preventing mold and allowing sunlight to strengthen grass, promoting robust growth.

Debris removal is often included in the overall cost of having a tree removed from your property. However, tree maintenance service companies do not always include debris removal in their pricing, so ask any contractors offering tree trimming cost estimates whether or not removal is included. If you want to keep the wood mulch, ask if they charge extra for it as well.

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.

In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn’s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. 

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.
