"After another lawn treatment firm managed to gradually kill our lawn we found One Step to replace them. One Step slowly brought our Lawn back. Not perfect yet but so much better. One Step also worked with us. First lawn care firm that we have consistently recommended. BUT as of today we are so sad. They have sold out to the firm that damaged our lawn several years back. We have already paid for the season. So we are stuck to finish this season, I wish One Step would have been up front that they were selling out. Unprofessional. So sad."

Full service tree company offering tree removal, tree pruning, stump grinding, plant health care services and lawn care programs.

"It went very well. This is the third time that I’ve had them do work for us. In the past, they have removed two trees on two different occasions. Today’s job was to remove low hanging and dead limbs, and limbs overhanging the roof. They also removed three dead small trees along the property line and trimmed back vegetation along the utility lines. They also cleared out weed trees growing in the shrubbery. The three-man crew cleaned up and were done in about three hours. Very professional! Compared to other tree services, High Falls is very good deal!!!"

"Jeff and his crew did a beautiful job on our patio. The work was done quickly and with attention to detail, and we were amazed that the whole thing only took four days from estimate to completion. There wasn't room to get any heavy equipment into the back yard, so they hand carried all the stone and sand in, and all the debris out. Jeff rerouted a downspout to avoid a drainage issue and put landscape lighting wires in conduits to protect them. This type of work is not inexpensive to have done, but we found Jeff's estimate to be very reasonable and feel like we certainly got what we paid for. He and his crew couldn't have been any nicer. We highly recommend Irondequoit Landscape, and will certainly call them again when we need work done in the future."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing when to water grass is among the most important. Having your sprinkler timer set to early morning is best because it gives your grass and plants enough time to absorb water before the sun and wind can evaporate it. To maximize a sprinkler’s impact, aerate your lawn once or twice per year. Doing this achieves better absorption and stronger root systems for your grass.

Sugar water helps the microorganisms in the soil break down nutrients, thus helping certain plants grow. In other words, it is okay to water plants with sugar water, but exercise caution and never rely on sugar when fertilizing your grass. Sugar is not plant food and, if applied too liberally, kills the plants you intend to help.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall. 

Professionals bring industry knowledge, can spot potential problems early, and tailor maintenance like fertilizing and weeding to your lawn's specific needs.
