"Scott first came to my property and walked me through what needed to be done to help with my lawn issues and what I could do to prevent in the future. He clearly laid it all out for me and came back another day to apply once I decided which treatments I wanted. He was very professional and explained why certain things should be done (and also areas where I could save money and not do anything at this time).

"I called Gerard as I was just done with trying to do it myself. Adjusting the sprinkler heads, fixing leaks, broken valves. So I asked him when he gets a chance just come over and just go over everything. Now I got extremely lucky because he was actually in the neighborhood at the time and was at my door in 10 minutes. Let me start with when his Nhan pulled up the first words out of their mouth. How are you, sir. Immediately showed respect. After that, these two guys worked every single sprinkle ahead, changing them, fixing them adjusting them and then giving me suggestions on how to use the system correctly. What time to turn the system on and off. I could not have been happier with the service that they gave me. Five stars for Gerard and his men. Thank you and you made a customer for life."

"This is a truly professional company that knows their work inside out. The work was completed in one day by skilled workers and the lawn was handled with great care. If it was surgery, I’d call it minimally invasive. The lawn looks great."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.

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.

Yes, if your home is poorly maintained and has weeds and overgrowth, it can affect your home appraisal and lower the value. Home buyers want to see a well-kept home, and if yours lacks curb appeal whether inundated by weeds or not, you could be neglecting the potential for it to reach its full value.

The fastest way to rid your yard of pesky stickers or burs is to go mechanical on them with a lawn mower or garden rake. Use a lawnmower with a bagger attachment to avoid spreading the seeds around and causing a bigger issue. If you choose to rake the stickers off the plants, be sure to dispose of them properly. Avoid putting them in with the composting and check local guidelines for disposing of lawn waste.

Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.
