The only things I'm displeased with is that they have broken several portions of my sidewalk with their industrial mower and have never said anything to me about it (like I'm not suppose to notice). Also, the same mower covers the side of my home with blown debris and I believe the problem I now have with noseeum/midge bugs around my yard due to their machine since I never had this problem with either my previous lawn care provider nor when I mow the yard myself. Having to treat the areas affected now offsets the initial savings I originally had with this provider.

They are also responsible for mowing my Mom's lawn. They are new to my Mom's lawn and she is new to having a company do it. Their relationship began last spring; early spring. She has never been so happy and truthfully; the lawn has never looked so good. Again, Chris listened to my mother's concerns and her desires for her lawn and she has no complaints. They come on schedule, do their work, always neat, clean, courteous and professional and it's not an easy lawn to manage. My mom has chickens running all over the yard and there is a goat on the property. The workers are very considerate of the chickens and the goat has gotten used to them ! I would highly recommend them; as a matter of fact I have, and the folks that have used them are equally as pleased.

Scheduling the work to proceed took longer than expected, but as it was late spring, the delays were acceptable. The employees that performed the work were friendly and performed quality work. The major complaints with this landscaper is the follow-through. My wife and I initially watered the lawn via two garden hoses (approx. 1 hour per night) before we paid to have a sprinkler system installed (different contractor). The grass was not growing in well for 80% of the yard, but the weeds were rampant. Several neighbors indicated that they have never seen new grass seed grow in with that density of weeds. A call to the landscaper was of no help either; they indicated that it was our fault for not watering enough. That was the only explanation they could give us (without coming out to look at the yard). We asked that they reseed (the contract said that they would reseed any bare spots), but the soonest that they indicated that they would come out was September (>1 month away). My wife and I took it upon ourselves to re-mediate our lawn ourselves and from our own pocket. We have pulled approximately 500+ lbs. of weeds over the course of 1 month, and have reseeded the lawn using seed we bought at Home Depot. The lawn is finally starting to look acceptable, but with no thanks to Bill's. For the amount we spent on our landscaping, we would have liked to have seen better customer service and support. With how quickly the weeds have taken over our lawn, waiting over a month to reseed would be ludicrous. By the time the reseeding would take place, the lawn would likely be overrun by weeds again. Conclusion: Bill's offers very reasonably priced lawn cuts, but I would avoid them for landscape design work. There are bound to be other landscapers out there that offer better customer service after the work is complete.

Most things went well but communication wasn't great. That was a problem because we don't stay at the home full time. The lawn suffered as a result and each year it was less and less healthy. I would hire them again if I knew I would be present to monitor things they overlooked or ignored.

Lawn Care Plus was one of only a few who showed up to give me an estimate as my property is small (less than a quarter-acre). The rates are very reasonable and they are always prompt and punctual as clockwork. Their two-man crew can knock off mowing and trimming well within a half-hour. The...

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts
Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.
Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.
The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.
While there’s no exact science to how often you should rake your leaves, a good rule of thumb to follow is to rake leaves every three to four days. However, you can rake more often or less often, depending on how quickly leaves are accumulating on your lawn.
During normal temperatures, you should mow about once per week. However, if your grass is distressed by extreme heat, you should avoid mowing it altogether. Wait until after an irrigation session or rainfall. That way, your grass will be good and hydrated before you mow. Remember, you should not mow the grass when it’s wet. Wait until it dries first.
