"I was extremely reluctant to install a drainage system to solve our backyard flooding issue but Ed convinced me. He was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel like our problem could finally get solved. A few months later we have a nice lawn for the first time since we bought the house!"

"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!)"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.

You have a few options to get rid of raked leaves, including bagging them and leaving them out for yard waste pickup. Even if you hire a professional for leaf removal, they can often bag the leaves and leave them for you to dispose of this way. You can also recycle and even donate yard waste. If you have a compost bin, your leaves will be ready to help your plants grow, reducing spring cleanup landscaping costs. Some companies will even accept donations of raked leaves to make compost, but you’ll need to transport them yourself.

According to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, there are over 10,000 kinds of mushrooms, and some are harmful to both humans and animals. However, not all mushrooms are harmful—some feed on thatch and wood, which provides nutrients for grass and plants. 

But unless you’re a mushroom expert (mycologist), it can be hard to tell poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous. So if you have kids or pets (or both), removing them is the safest route to take.

A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.
