"Company was knowledgable about lawn and issues that arose. First hired them last fall for a nut sedge issue and to aerate and overseed lawn. Nut sedge treatment worked at the time but came back with a vengeance this summer, more on that later. The aeration and overseeding was not so good. Noticed little to no plugs on the lawn and the sections that were bare are still bare. This summer, more specifically in mid July I noticed brown patches and the nut sedge returning. I notified them and after a week or so they came out to diagnose dollar spot disease and nut sedge. It took 4 weeks from my original email telling them about the problem for them to schedule someone to come treat it. Sometimes I would get a response within a day, other times would take a week. Just not consistent. And at $140 a whack per fertilization treatment I expected my lawn to look nice. The parts that were not covered with sedge or dollar spot didn’t look so great, not exactly thick or as green as some neighbors and still had some clover and crabgrass in some areas - and I followed their watering suggestion. The $140 a whack didn’t include the two dollar spot treatments and 2-3 nut sedge treatments. So for over $1500 for the year and the spotty response time I felt it wasn’t worth it."

Established in Londonderry New Hampshire over 20 years ago, Groundhog Landscaping Inc., has grown to become one of the largest full-service landscape companies in southern New Hampshire. We believe our consistent growth and success is because we offer competitive pricing, we know our costs, and we deliver value.

"I hired Groundhog Landscaping for general weed and feed service for my lawn. Their machine leaked gasoline all over my lawn. They came out to “fix” my lawn and made a repair. Meanwhile they are sending me a bill for the service they performed. I told them I would not pay it until the lawn was fixed. 10 weeks after they have not fixed my lawn and it is a complete mess. Please see the pictures"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Implement overseeding and fertilization to maximize aeration benefits and strengthen your lawn.

One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they’re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.

Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the type of grass you have. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. 

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. 

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise.
