"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."

"Great job every time! Always lets me know when tree/bush trimming needs to be done since I am no longer walking around and seeing all of my yard anymore. Offers a price for any task to do it and thanks me if I complete it. All around a good person to work with."

"melena Landscaping did an awesome job removing old redwood mulch from our gardens. Prepping the gardens along with edging and special river rocks prior to adding triple shredded dark garden mulch. Yard cleanup was exceptional. Workers were very friendly and made great recommendations. 5 Star job."

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 questions, answered by experts

Both zoysia grass and bermuda grass are somewhat similar to St. Augustine because they’re all warm-season grasses. Beyond that, most grass types have unique properties that set them apart. Zoysia grass costs twice the price of St. Augustine grass on average and it has thinner blades and a deeper green appearance. Bermuda grass, compared to St. Augustine, has much thinner blades, is softer to the touch, and has a higher tolerance for colder weather.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.

The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning. This timing allows the grass to dry during the day, which reduces the risk of mildew and fungus, and ensures the lawn has moisture to withstand the day's heat. Watering during the peak afternoon sun is inefficient, as the water evaporates too quickly.

Watering in the evening or at night is not recommended. Prolonged moisture on the grass overnight can promote fungal diseases. Additionally, nighttime conditions can be colder and windier, which may cause water to be blown away or prevent it from being properly absorbed by the soil.

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.

If you notice your grass is growing quickly and it’s hard to keep up, cut down on how much you water and fertilize it. Another helpful method is to mow the grass at the highest setting your mower will allow. Mowing at a higher setting slows grass growth since the blades won’t need to repair themselves as quickly if they’re kept at a longer length.
