"Excellent, Roy showed up early, prepared , and even went the extra mile to install both fans which included going into our attic in the heat, doing extra cutting to install the fan, and setting the fan in place. Definitely will work with him again."

"Wound up needing a mowing service last minute in a pinch and Chuck with Lawn Ranger was fast to respond. Within 48 hours he came out, gave a very reasonable quote, and had the yard cut and trimmed and looking great again. Chuck was super polite, attentive, and does excellent, timely work. Definitely recommend Lawn Ranger in the Hickory/surrounding areas!"

"Absolutely fantastic!! Josh was great to work with, and was consistently focused upon doing a superior job in terms of attention to detail and pride in his work. Simply put, Josh is the kind of contractor that everyone hopes to get, and if they did, there would be none of the horror stories you hear about. His estimate was the best price by far, and we could not be more pleased. There is no one I would ever choose for another contractor, and I cannot recommend him enough. Outstanding!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Yes, rotting leaves can be good for your soil. The decaying leaves release nutrients into the soil that can boost the health of your plants, and the organic matter also helps improve airflow and water drainage.

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. 

If composting feels too complicated, mulching is an effective alternative. While composting focuses on breaking down yard waste to feed the soil, mulching uses that same organic material as a protective top layer. It's a quick way to get value from leaves, grass clippings, and other yard debris without the time or effort composting requires.

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.

The time it takes for leaves to decompose can range from six months to three years. Key factors influencing the decomposition rate include water, sunlight, and heat, so local weather conditions play a significant role. Decomposition will take longer for thick, matted layers of leaves. To speed up the process, you can mulch the leaves, as smaller pieces break down faster. Spreading large piles into thinner layers to increase exposure to sunlight and water also helps accelerate decomposition.
