"Francisco can do it all! He maintains our lawn and has done much more - from installing a microwave and fireplace mantle to building double bunkbeds. He always answers phone calls and texts and shows up when he says he will. I would highly recommend!"

"Bill called me almost immediately, and even though he was considerably distant from my house, he was still willing to make the long drive to get my sprinkler system repaired. Would definitely recommend based on customer service level I received."

"Repair was to the chimney. We were delayed in traveling to NC but they did an outstanding job in solving issues that developed while onsite during the repair. Would recommend them! They are very friendly and solved our problems in a very professional manner and in a timely manner as well."

"CJ was the absolute best!!! I have a small fenced yard that needed attention and outlying unfenced areas. The crew came late in the day (perfect as the grass was wet through most of the day) and got the project completed in less than 40 minutes. CJ was honest and knowledgeable. When I asked about pet friendly insecticide treatment to the property he suggested we wait until the weather warms up for best effect. Definitely would recommend. Be sure to roll up any rugs before they start your project. Remind them to shut the gate, if you have one."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

Yellow patches, poor growth, or widespread weeds indicate a need for treatment. Soil testing can confirm nutritional deficiencies that require intervention.

Signs of an overwatered lawn can be visual, physical, or related to pests and weeds. Visually, the grass may appear yellow, wilted, patchy, or thin instead of green and lush. You might also notice the presence of mushrooms, other fungal growths, or an increase in weeds like crabgrass. Physically, the soil may be waterlogged, soggy, and perpetually damp. An overwatered lawn often feels mushy or makes a squishing sound underfoot, even several hours after watering. Additionally, you may see an increase in pests such as grubs. To prevent overwatering, ensure your lawn has proper drainage through periodic aeration and adjust your watering schedule to meet its actual needs.

There are tools known as “sprinkler donuts” that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you’re willing to get a little dirty.

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
