"Joe and crew stopped by to give me an estimate and asked if he could at least tidy up the lawn for me right then (we were in the process of moving in and the lawn was in bad shape). They not only mowed but also cleaned up the flowerbeds and him on a full schedule! Yes I highly recommend this company!"

"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

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.

The easiest way to remove bushes is first to cut the bush down. You may need to use a handsaw, pruning shears, or a chainsaw for thicker branches. Once you’ve removed most of the branches, you can then cut the base of the shrub as low to the ground as you can get. Then, with a shovel, dig around until you expose the roots. Dig out the roots, being careful not to leave any roots in the soil.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

There are several ways to dispose of excess sod, including building a compost pile, taking it to a green waste disposal facility, donating the sod, or reusing it in another part of your yard. It’s a good idea to check with your local municipality to see how to get rid of yard waste, as some areas have local regulations on what can go in the green waste bin. For example, your recycling services may reject too much soil added to green waste.

It typically takes six to 12 months for leaves to decompose entirely. The process involves the mulch composting into your lawn to deliver nutrients that facilitate grass growth. The recommended process is to spread a thick layer of leaf mulch over your garden and let it marinate for a few seasons for best long-term results.
