Wade's Landscaping, LLC has been serving the Hackensack NJ area for over 20 years, delivering quality service at fair prices. Some of our customers go back to our humble beginnings twenty years ago. Our primary objective is customer satisfaction. We demand perfection and guarantee everything we do. We aim to set the bar in the Landscaping industry, our entire team believes in accountability. We have 2-14 employees. Uses subs for large trees & mechanical trades & gutters. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges may apply. No service fee. Extra charges for after hours service may apply. Extended hours in summer. License #-13UH0319700. Proud Member of the Better Business Bureau.

"Wade and his men did a decent job on my lawn. However, I am not rehiring Wade because of how he does business. This is the story: Each week, after they worked on my lawn, Wade placed a bill in my mailbox. I ALWAYS paid it immediately, online, from my bank with a bank check. Then he would send a summary invoice, from time to time. The first invoice I received was accompanied by a statement saying I owed about $700 and that he was reporting me to a credit company. I told him how mistaken he was and showed him my bank statement that included the date of each payment and the amount. He claimed there was confusion with my name as I use two names. But that confusion must have remained with him for the rest of the year as the accusations in writing continued with each invoice, even though I paid right away in full. Once that was cleared one time, you would think they would correct their book keeping. But every single invoice he sent had the same threats and claim that I owed more money, even though I paid each bill in full as soon as I received it. Never an apology or even an admission of being mistaken, or of falsely accusing me. There is more to a business relationship than just doing the work. To have a person I hire mess up their book keeping and not see it or admit it, and to be made victim to the upset of those written accusations that have not one iota of truth, is too upsetting to me to rehire him. I do NOT recommend this company, unless you do not mind being accused even though you pay right away. I rated this company an F because of how they disregarded me and almost caused me to lose my good name and good credit rating. "A good name is chosen above great wealth; good favor over silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1 That is even more important than how they cut a lawn."

Dial Pest Control® opened for business in 1978. In 1985, owners Steve Adams and Jerry Smith purchased the company. The real estate boom of the late 80’s propelled the company into termite certifications and treatments to satisfy mortgage requirements. In 1999, the first "green" initiative offered termite baiting systems over chemical-only treatments. In 2011, a new division was created, MoldCure Pro® to treat homes for mold by using green solutions. In 2012, the business grew exponentially by providing victims of Hurricane Sandy environmentally friendly mold care options. Consumer awareness for green treatments further identified the company as a green provider. In January 2015, the business expanded with the acquisition of Lawn Watch Nature’s Pro., expanding green customer base. In June 2015, Dial Pest Control®, Dial Lawn Watch® and Dial Moldcure Pro® became part of newly formed Dial Environmental®. Simply put - We Choose Green First® Visit us at www.dialpestcontrol.com.

"I hired Perennial Lawn Services to do my fall core aeration and seed in October of 2020. When the job was done, there were pockets of areas that were not seeded. I informed them in November and Charlie A, said it will be addressed. He sent David S to look at the property in late November and he said the following in an email "There are a few areas that will need some attention in the spring. The hill on the left side, the back left corner, and the right side of the driveway are the areas in particular. Ive put in a service call to visit the property around April 1st." 2021. I reminded them a few times after April 1st 2021 and on 5/5/21 David S said "Yes, it will be addressed. Thank you for your patience," However, the issue has not been addressed. When I complained to BBB, Perennial Services responded BBB saying that they have not heard from me about this issue. I can provide documented proof of the communication with Taylor W, Linn K - all cc'd on communication. Bottom line don't deal with them. If they can blatantly dispute a documented conversation, will you really trust them?"

"I have been a customer of Go Organic for approximately 22 years. I had switched to Go Organic after the prior lawn treatment service was using chemicals that negatively impacted my dog (actually gave him seizures). Once I switched, all problems with my pets went away. In addition, my lawn has never looked better! Over the years I have always been impressed with how thorough and knowledgeable they are. I had the good fortune of bumping into one of the technicians, Maynor, last week. While he treated my lawn, I stopped him to show him a couple of problem areas (very minor!). He was courteous, knowledgeable, and happy to help. Overall this is a service I would have no hesitation recommending to anyone. "

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.

Your lawn will have visible signs if it needs fertilizing. If your grass looks discolored, is slow growing, looks thin, or your yard has bare spots, then it probably needs to be fertilized to give it the nutrients it's lacking. You should also keep an eye out for weeds and pests because they can also be signs of a struggling lawn.

Purchase a selective herbicide that targets clover and similar weeds but doesn't take out your grass. You can also keep it from growing with corn meal gluten or remove clover from your lawn manually at the start of the season as part of your lawn maintenance checklist.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.

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.
