"I had communication issues and service delays with Affordable Lawn Care. Their bid came in the lowest so I selected them based on that and the owner's willingness to work with me on adjusting the price after I offered to perform some of the prep work myself, such as weeding my flower beds and removing and replacing a dead bush. I should have insisted on a written proposal instead of relying on text messages from the owner because there were numerous misunderstandings as a result of that. Because of equipment issues (his truck broke down and the second one was in an accident) it took him several weeks before he could finish my yard. Afterwards, I had to ask him to come back and redo a section of my yard that I felt was not done as expected providing more mulch and trenching my island better so the mulch wouldn't runoff in the rain. Overall, they do good work but it took too long to get the job done."

"Great customer service. Stumbled a little getting started. Time will tell. Follow-up: I used this company for 2 years. They were marketed as "customized" service for the unique needs of my lawn. The lawn was in very bad shape when I purchased the home, with large patches of crab grass and invasive yard plants. Although I did not get the "customized" treatments promised, the company did come back to spot treat problem areas if I called them to complain. They also failed to treat the far back areas of my lawn (outside the fence line) until I complained. Overall, the company helped to get my yard healthy again, but they did not offer the customized service that was quoted to justify their slightly higher than average price tag. I feel like I got adequate service and results, but not a 5-star company."

Customers say: True professional

"Wonderful! They did a great job leveling the yard where the heavy equipment left deep gouges. They added topsoil, seed and straw. They also put our flower bed back together. They added mulch and put the stones back in place that were displaced. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat."

"I would highly recommend Chris with Macs Lawncare. He gave me the most reasonable estimate of 4 companies. He did everything I asked and more. Completed the job quickly and cleaned up everything. Came when he was supposed to also. I would definitely hire him again!"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

Yes, Bahia grass spreads on its own thanks to its short stolon system. However, it might not seem like your Bahia grass spreads well due to its slow growth. Bahia grass takes around 3 to 4 weeks to germinate and an additional two weeks to grow thicker. 

During this time, fast-growing, competitive weeds may pop up, so weed your lawn to give your Bahia grass a chance to grow. This grass can take up to two years to become established. Once established, Bahia grass typically does well in suitable climates.

Clover is a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to turfgrass, allowing homeowners to put away the mower while enjoying a lush and consistent lawn. The plant also attracts pollinators, adds nitrogen to low-nutrient soil, and holds up in a range of climates. Consult a local lawn care professional to determine whether replacing your grass with clover is right for your yard.

The time you should wait before walking on new grass depends on whether you used seed or sod. If you laid new grass seed, it's best to wait about eight weeks before stepping on it, as new grass is fragile. For sod, it typically establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. For heavy traffic, like driving a car across a new grass driveway, you might need to wait an entire season.

You should wait about seven to 10 days after you top dress your lawn to mow. This will give the ground ample time to absorb the nutrients from the sand, topsoil, and compost, and help facilitate growth before you trim the existing grass. It’s also best to water the lawn frequently in the week or so after you top dress and before you mow.
