"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 had a very positive experience with D&S landscaping. Don was extremely professional and prompt in coming on site and providing an estimate for lawn work and landscaping. His prices were reasonable. I did not use his services only because other people in my household could not decided what we really wanted long-term for landscaping. However, I plan on using him whenever I have the next opportunity."

"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."

"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."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

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.

Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.

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.

Fescue grass is a relatively low-maintenance grass type, meaning it doesn’t require much more attention than regular watering, dethatching, and mowing. Some fescues even grow slowly enough for hard-to-reach areas, particularly those inaccessible by the mower. Following a seasonal maintenance schedule will help your fescue lawn stay green, healthy, and durable for years to come.

While it's a good idea to water your grass during a drought or when temperatures are high, you should not water your lawn every day. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. Avoid watering in the middle of the day or when the temperature is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, as the extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water your lawn in the summer is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening, such as between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., when it's cooler.
