"We hired Sage landscaping to create a new backyard that involved clearing trees, regrading, and installing a retaining wall. From start to finish, I couldn't have been more pleased with the work and the end result. Ed Sage provided some very good advice in the design phase that really helped the project immensely in the end. The whole team that worked on the project was impressive and demonstrated a strong work ethic, competence, and a desire to do things the right way. No supervision needed, which is rare. I could completely trust the team. There were no slackers on the team and no one cutting corners. The whole team brought a "can-do" attitude which was a pleasure to deal with when changes were required from original project scope. They strived throughout to ensure that I was happy with the work. While Sage wasn't the cheapest upfront, I believe they were the best value given the quality of work delivered. I will certainly be using Ed and his team going forward for all my landscaping needs."

"They did a wonderful job! Contacted us within 30 min of the post (one of two to reach out, the other was several days late). This was followed by an in person meeting 15 minutes after. With our prior company we had issues with cutting in the rain, mowing too fast and leaving tracks, leaving large clumps of grass clippings, casually would skip weeks of cutting for no reason (not raining and even at the property around the corner), even mowing our garden, etc. though we have only had one cutting, it seems they are much more diligent and caring. Even from our talks they right away understood the concept of not cutting in the rain and adjusting the schedule to a change in day vs a week if they need to reschedule due to conditions. Today, not only was the grass cut, but they really took the time to cut down stubborn weeds our prior company had ignored (even moving furniture to do so and putting it back). Our patio and walkways even looked 1,000x better. I thought I had lost it. The owner is on site and works with the team, which is something I personally value. I can’t speak to what caused our last company’s care to deteriorate after years of service and speaking with them about “simple things”, but the owner was hardly ever with his team—maybe came to our property 2 times a year (if that). (Thank you so much!!! Looking forward to a much less stressed summer with less time dedicated to cleaning up and fixing our yard!)"

"Crew arrived right on time. Did everything I asked. Trimmed Hedges, cleaned up weeds and small trees that started to grow in my yards. Removed trunk of tree. Worked n my neighbors side of the hedges and left her and my yard in pristine condition. I am so pleased I most likely will have them return to fix back steps fix patio. I would happy to encourage people to use this company for all your yard work and landscape needs. Bruce is friendly and affable. Extremely easy to work with. First experience with Home Advisor and Donovanâ s Lawn and Landscaping, Inc. was a hit out of the park."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.

The pros are the precise treatments, such as aeration and fertilization, which protect and prepare your lawn for thriving warmer months.

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.  

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.

Long-handled telescopic brushes are the best way to clean the outside of a house without a pressure washer. There are even special attachments for cleaning the outside of windows. Use a gentle cleaning solution for both the roof and siding to avoid harming the finishes. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly with a garden hose after scrubbing.
