"The owner contacted me within a day of reaching out for an Estimate. They came 2 days later to mow the lawn. They did an excellent job on my moms lawn so I met Jose at the house to ask about trimming the bushes. They were overgrown and some were dead. We agreed on a price and they came the very next day. They removed the dead ones and trimmed overgrown bushes they could and cleaned up everything. It now looks amazing and price was fair and reasonable! It was a pleasure to deal with Jose and his company. I highly recommend them!!!"

"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!"

"The front of our home was in need of much-needed landscaping work. There was overgrown poison ivy, unsightly bushes underneath a Cherry Blossom tree on our property, etc. It basically just needed to be rooted/dug out and replaced with a nice flower bed and a fresh layer of mulch. Don Liberti, who I've worked with on a smaller job in 2019 was very responsive to my inquiry and provided a reasonable quote. He took the time to explain the types of flowers and plants they'd put in place. Very thorough and descriptive proposal of work! The maintenance crew arrived on time and got to work right away. I was impressed at the efficiency and how everything was cleaned up and taken away. The front of my home now has some encouraging curb appeal. Impressed with the job they did! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who has landscaping design needs. I will certainly be in touch for some other work in the rear of my home. Thanks for the great work! Extremely satisfied customer :-)"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

They compete for nutrients and water, potentially stunting desired plants.

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.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125 per visit, with prices typically ranging from $50 to $205. The final cost depends on several factors, including your location, yard size, lawn shape, accessibility, grass type and length, and the frequency of service. Lawns with obstacles, steep slopes, or hard-to-reach areas may cost more. If a company charges by size, you can expect to pay between $0.01 and $0.06 per square foot, or $150 to $200 per acre.

A general breakdown of costs by lawn size is as follows:

• 3,500 square feet: $35–$210

• 5,000 square feet: $50–$300

• 10,000 square feet: $100–$600

• 1 Acre: $150–$200

• 2 Acres: $300–$400

• 3 Acres: $450–$600

• 4 Acres: $600–$800

• 5 Acres: $750–$1,000

• 10 Acres: $1,500–$2,000

• 15 Acres: $2,250–$3,000

Keep in mind that these prices generally cover routine maintenance like mowing and edging. Additional services such as raking leaves, weeding, trimming, or applying pesticides can add $400 or more to your total cost.

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts.
