"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!!!"

"Don and his entire crew at D&S are amazing! I would rate them 10 stars if I could. Don and Isaac came up with a beautiful design for our new front porch, walkway and landscaping and delivered on everything they said they would. Everyone on the crew worked so hard and we couldn’t believe how quickly they got the job done. It turned out even more amazing then we ever imagined. My husband and I could not be happier. D&S also takes care of our regular lawn maintenance and they do a fabulous job every week with that as well."

"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."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

Here are some questions you should ask lawn mowing companies before hiring one to service your lawn:

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Are you licensed and fully insured?

  • Do you collect and haul away cut grass or mulch it and leave it behind?

  • Do you provide add-on services other than lawn mowing?

  • Do you plan to use herbicides and pesticides?

  • If I run into an issue with service, what does the resolution process look like?

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.

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.
