Can you just throw grass seed on an existing lawn?

• <div><p>Throwing grass seed on existing lawn isn’t likely to germinate, grow roots, or become healthy grass. You need to prep the soil, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fertilizing-101-yard-and-garden.htm">spread fertilizer</a> with your seed, and sow the seed into the soil. Water the seed every day for two weeks to ensure it germinates and grows roots. Be sure to stay off the area and wait to mow until it reaches optimal height.</p></div>

Do lawn care companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, landscaping companies require a business license to operate legally, and some require additional licenses, like general contractor licenses. You can use Angi's <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm if a company in your area holds the necessary licensing. Equally as important as the license is insurance. Before hiring any lawn care company, you should confirm that it is fully insured. This measure protects you from lawsuits, and it also protects the employees in the case of an injury or unemployment.</p></div>

They removed the trees as quotation with equipment that did no damage to the lawn and ground the stomps. They were fast, courteous and asked me if I needed anything else and if I was satisfied with their work. I was totally happy.

The summer of 2014 was the first season that I used Perennial. I was so impressed. Each time the guys left, I had to go out and look at my lawn and how beautiful it looked. That year, I paid week to week. So, when I received a letter about signing up for the summer of 2015, I decided to do the...

UPDATE: As a result of my review, Armstrong Waterproofing sent a crew out to vacuum the basement, and promised to repair lawn damage when Spring arrives. This is the kind of action that a good business provides in response to valid customer complaints. Our basement is now much cleaner...

We loved it! Our lawn is small, but it's tough for my husband to do it now at 89 and I refuse to mow. It was music to my ears to hear D&D out in the yard mowing and edging! Dave is very nice to work with. We highly recommend him. We'll see him again in the Spring!

They do a great job! Dillon (the owner) and an employee come every Tuesday. Dillon cuts the bulk of the lawn with a riding lawn mower in about 20 minutes while the other guy trims. I don't have a riding lawn mower and tried using a push mower my first summer at this house. It took 2 hours...
