"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!"

"I received 3 quotes from ANGIE'S LIST companies and RR IRRIGATION was not the cheapest of the 3, but provided me with (in my opinion) the best layout and more sprinkler heads than the other quotes I received. They prefer RAIN BIRD products while the other serious quote I received preferred HUNTER; both are the top companies in the industry. The RAIN BIRD Wi-Fi control system sometimes has some lag, but I'm glad I went with this instead of no Wi-Fi; it needs to be on a 2.4 Ghz frequency and not 5 Ghz to work best. Original install date got pushed back a few times due to weather, but nothing you could do about Mother Nature. Day of install went smooth, a little longer than originally anticipated because more hand digging was needed than initially thought due to their main machine not fitting through my backyard fence's gate. Freddy and his crew were great and cleaned up very nicely. Town inspection came through and passed with no issues... the system has worked great so far and now I have a lot more time to play with my daughters when I get home from work instead of moving hoses and sprinklers around my front, side, and back yard!"

"All went extremely well. The Heartland crew, led by Harvie, arrived on time and went right to work. They worked through the day and did everything that was expected. I have some other work to be done, and I would definitely hire Heartland again to do that work."

"I hired them for tree removal. Mike (the head arborist) was wonderful. They were courteous, on time, and their prices were fair and market based. Really appreciate them and I’m considering using them for routine lawn care services."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.

Pulling weeds once per month is typically often enough to keep most weeds at bay. But in general, it's best to pull weeds as soon as you spot them to prevent deep root growth and slow their spread. To make it easier, plan your weed pulling after rain or after the sprinklers run so the soil will be nice and wet and the weeds will be easier to pull. If you notice moss accompanying weeds, make a plan to remove the moss immediately to prevent damage.

Seal bags firmly for materials like soil or mulch, store unused parts in dry and cool spaces to prevent decay and use material visually formed covers for extended periods.

If possible, you should prioritize pulling weeds up by hand. However, be sure not to use your bare hands, as many weeds are sharp or otherwise irritating when they come in contact with skin. Always don thick, protective gardening gloves to protect your hands when you pull up weeds.

No, it’s not necessary to remove all the leaves from your lawn—in fact, leaving some behind can be beneficial. While it's important to clear thick layers of leaves that can smother your grass, leaving a light scattering of leaves can help feed your soil while also providing safe winter habitat for pollinators like bumble bees. Leftover leaves will eventually break down, enriching the soil and promoting healthy lawn growth.
