Since 1985, Frank's Basement Systems has served the Greater Buffalo, Rochester, and Western New York regions in basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation and repair, and residential and commercial foundation repair services. As a member of several nationally-recognized contractor networks, such as Basement Systems, Supportworks, and CleanSpace, Frank's Basement Systems has access to patented, award-winning products and comprehensive training.

"Due to a rapid thawing, our home's sump pump started to fail and couldn't pump water faster than it was coming in from the drain tile. I came home from work to find a huge puddle of water in the area where the pump was situated, about 1/2" deep. The pump itself was working, but barely. After spending an hour bucketing water out of the pump well, I gave Frank's Basement Systems a call at around 7:45pm. One of their guys, Shane, was at my house within 20 minutes. He did a perimeter check outside the house and confirmed water was being pumped out, but the flow was minimal. He disconnected the pump from the piping, pulled it out, and I got a view of how corroded the old pump was, and it was chock full of debris and rocks. He cleaned the rocks from the pump and reinstalled to see if that would help the situation - it didn't. By this point, I was fully prepared to invest in a new pump, and he kindly provided me with the inventory he had available. Upon deciding which pump to go with, he went to his truck, drew up the paperwork that I signed, and he was able to install the new pump within half an hour. In addition to the pump, he redid the piping exiting the house and added a quiet check valve. Finally, he provided me with an estimate for a backup pump, at my request. Besides the great and thorough work, Shane was friendly, kind and honest. He did his due diligence in first attempting to repair the old sump before advising installation of a new model. He wore plastic booties over his shoes, wore a face mask the entire time and maintained proper social distancing. I've worked with Frank's at my previous house and am glad to have worked with them on the sump for my current house. I hope I won't need any work in the near future, but if I do, I'll continue to go with Frank's."

We are a family owned and operated premier lawn care business that has been in operation since 1997.

"I engaged Turf Doctor to reseed a portion of my lawn and perform services to suppress weeds and nurture growth of my lawn which, under my un-expert care, was suffering. I am in the third year with them, and COULD NOT BE MORE IMPRESSED. The dandelions which totally covered my lawn were gone the first season. The wild orchid, which I have battled year over year with RoundUp, is finally overcome by strong grass growth that has suppressed what was quickly becoming a chronic issue, and the lawn as a whole is a different being than it was just two years ago. All this was accomplished with a team that worked with me, disallowed me to over schedule treatments that would stress the lawn, lowered the cost I'd previously paid per treatment, and worked with me to treat - if you'll allow me - my lawn with respect. I am astounded with the results and cannot - in any way - over recommend Turf Doctor. They are simply the best. This is my second review of this firm (first in 2017) but felt it needed to be expressed because of the truly remarkable results I have had. Love, love, love Turf Doctor!"

"Professional & efficient. Started with a certified arborist coming out for inspection, and providing an estimate of work to be performed. Total cost was comparable to other estimates I had gotten. Prior to crew coming out, separate company came out to mark utility lines on lawn in the area of the tree work to be performed. A week to two weeks later, crew of 3 came and took down the very large ash tree, and hauled it off. Stump grinding was handled immediately afterwards."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.

Yes, you can typically combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments. However, follow the specific product's instructions and consider the compatibility of treatments. In most cases, liquid aeration can complement fertilization, overseeding, or weed control programs. Combining treatments strategically can address multiple aspects of your lawn's health and appearance simultaneously. Always read and adhere to the guidelines provided by the product manufacturers to ensure safe and effective application.

You free up your weekends, as pros often conduct mowing and maintenance efficiently and without disrupting your schedule.

Sugar is good for plants, despite limiting nitrogen absorption. However, the sugar that is healthy for plants is typically the same sugar created by plants as part of photosynthesis. In other words, table sugar is not good or bad for plants on its own, just keep track of nitrogen levels in the soil. But don’t worry, sugar won’t kill your grass.

A few common lawn maintenance mistakes include failure to use fertilizer, not committing to a yearly maintenance plan, and under- and over-watering your lawn. Other issues that might arise include poor timing of lawn treatments. It’s important to dethatch, aerate, and reseed your yard at the right time of year—preferably in early spring.
