"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."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

The optimal time to tackle thorn bush removal is during late fall or winter when the bushes are dormant. The plants are less active during this time of year, making it easier to prune and remove. Additionally, you can more easily see what you’re cutting since there are no leaves.

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. 

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.

While a river may seem safer than the street, blowing leaves into the water can cause a lot of problems. Leaves can alter the local ecosystem, encourage bad algae growth and block narrow waterways. In large numbers, leaf debris can lead to fish death events in nearby bays or lakes and require expensive dredging to address. That’s why many cities also ban blowing leaves into water.

It’s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they’re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.

Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.
