"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."

"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

"Mario came in at $700 to $800 under 3 other bids I got and did an amazing job. He and his fast working crew cleared beds surrounding my house plus several yard beds, moved at least 3 cubic feet of topsoil from the drainage jobs to the beds to enrich them given all the dug up clay, tilled it into the beds, trenched the bed perimeters, put down black died mulch, moved 4 bushes, and replanted perennials that had to be moved in the rehab process without extra charge. Amazing!!! He also was willing to do extra jobs while he was there for a reasonable fee including the removal of hundreds of pounds of trunk wood that a fly by night tree removal business refused to remove 4 years ago for only $150 more than the $1500 original fee--well worth it!!! I was so impressed with Mario and his team that I gave them a $150 tip. They were angels sent by God. I am 60 years old and cannot do this type of yardwork myself anymore (my yard is large). I plan to have them do my mowing and all future yardwork as long as we live here. Vaya con Dios, Mario and Company!!!"

"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

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they’re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.

Chiggers thrive in overgrown lawns, so regular mowing will deter these annoying mites. It may not remove every single chigger, however, so follow that up with weeding and trimming any nearby trees and bushes. Pay special attention to moist, shady spots, as these are a chigger’s preferred habitat. When all else fails, sprinkle your yard with diatomaceous earth. It kills chiggers by dehydrating their exoskeletons. Diatomaceous earth is basically ground-up shells, so there’s no risk of injury to animals.

Using a pro guarantees correct tools and expertise, preventing potential household mishaps.

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.
