"We asked Sage come over to look at our lawn where we had major drainage issue from our neighbor who is slightly uphill from us. Sage called in advance informing us that he is running late, which is fine with us, and we appreciate it for the call very much. Once he is onsite, he took a thorough look at our property, and told us his diagnosis, basically this issue is caused by the problem on the neighboring property. He said he can fix the problem for us on our side, but he suggested us to talk to the neighbor first and see if they can address the issue on their side first, because he thinks once our neighbor fix on their side, there shouldn't be any issue anymore. He even went beyond and offered to talk to our neighbor on our behalf! We were new to the neighbor hood , and didn't have much idea on how to approach our neighbor on this kind of issue. Sage's willingness to help is beyond our expectation. In the end, our neighbor did agree to fix on their side, so we didn't need to do anything. However, we have no doubt in our mind that if we ever need anything done to our lawn, Sage's service will be the only one we would consider. thank you!

"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."

"Well, in a word, wonderfully. Charlie is professional, knowledgeable and friendly, as are his staff. They took great care to ensure that they left our property as close as possible to the condition in which they found it. They worked around existing plants, replaced a section of wood fence that had to be removed to access the area in which they built the patio and even planted grass seed where they tracks from the bobcat tore up the lawn. The finished patio looks fantastic and the pergola is mounted securely. We couldn't be happier. This company approaches each job as if it is the most important job to them. They do not change how they work according to the price of the job. They want the customer satisfied and all of the employees go to great lengths to do so. My only regret is that I didn't find Charlie when we were getting estimates for our paver pool deck that we had installed two years ago. We will definitely be calling Charlie for any future landscaping work at our house and recommending him to friends and family in the area."

"Angel s crew did a great job. They were efficient and hardworking. They worked around gardens that had landscape lighting and irrigation systems without damaging anything. My gardens had weeds and grass in them which they got out in the clean up process. All of the clean up materials were removed from the property. It was swept and pristine when they left. All the gardens are mulched in a sufficient quantity to keep the weeds out, and they are all beautifully edged. The house looks great. I would definitely hire them again."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

In most municipalities, lawn care and mowing companies require at least a business license to operate legally. However, requirements can vary by location, and some areas mandate that landscaping companies be licensed, insured, and bonded, or even hold a general contractor license. Before hiring any lawn service, confirm they are fully insured. This protects you from liability for injuries on your property and also protects the company's employees. You can use Angi's state license lookup tool to verify a company's licensing status in your area.

Yes, it’s acceptable to water the lawn in very hot weather, but you should try to water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for best results. However, watering when the temperature is above 95 degrees is ineffective. If you’re concerned about whether to water your lawn during extreme heat, consult a local lawn care professional who can recommend a watering schedule based on your grass type and climate.

You should not water your lawn every day, even in hot weather. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. It is best to water during a drought or when temperatures are high, but avoid watering in the middle of the day or if the temperature exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) when the temperature is cooler.

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.

Tipping is not mandatory, but is a nice gesture if you are satisfied with the service your lawn professional provided. The amount you should tip depends on your area, service, and time of year. Typically, most people tip between $10 and $100 per crew member. For minor services, people tend to tip less than large jobs.
