"I have been a Lawn & Order customer for several years and recommend them highly. They provide me with bi-monthly lawn service (mowing/trimming/edging). During the fall/winter, they address the fallen leaves by collecting them at the street for pickup. They offer annual aeration/seeding as well as other yard treatments. While I have not taken advantage of it (yet) they also spread pine straw/mulch and trim bushes. I appreciate that they offer several optional services, but don't require it as part of their service. Their invoicing is descriptive/clear/concise so it is very easy to see what was provided for each service. Just a wonderful company to work with!"

"Vin DiPasquale Landscaping, bought out Lewey Landscaping. The only reason I stayed with the service was because the crew from Lewey had taken care of my lawn 8 plus years. The new owner, Vin and I had a difference of opinion on landscaping work. I saved video clips and text messages on the problems I had with their landscaping and follow up. The main person who managed the lawn care was Lindsey Carroll, she left Vin and started her own lawn service which I highly recommend. Her # 252-955-5416. Lindsey has taken care of my lawn for over 10 years. Quality and Care is what she gives in her work."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.

Professional services offer efficient, safe waste and junk removal, ensuring legal compliance and environmental responsibility. Professionals handle items systematically, disposing of them properly or recycling, which contributes to clutter reduction and enhanced property safety.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.

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.

Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.
