"I saw a crew for the Grounds Guys cleaning my neighbor’s yard. I asked if they could give me an estimate for branch removal from my front yard due to a recent storm. Within an hour Adam came to my front door and gave me what I thought was a reasonable estimate. Within 2 hours he had his crew clean all of the leaves and branches removed from my yard."

"Shamrock has shown a high level of service, attention, and professionalism by: - Responding to my request for a quote (5 of 8 calls to to other services yielded no reply). - Visiting my yard to prepare the quote (the other services who replied did not) - Providing a quote which included observations and analysis of our lawn, such as grass varieties, weed types, insect problems. - Recommending needed services and not recommending ones not required (it was too late for a pre-emergent crabgrass, and insect control was not needed as no problems were observed) - Having a staffed office or an answering service to take my messages when I had questions and wanted to confirm proceeding with the service. My calls were returned within one or two days. - Sending a friendly "lawn care guy" to do the work who let us know what he was doing and went about it quickly. - Blowing off pellet fertilizer from the sidewalk and driveway where it had spread beyond the lawn. - Leaving a description of the work completed in the front door, with short-term recommendations about cutting, watering, or pets. - Having a secure, easy-to-use web site which allows on-line payment. They offer a discount for pre-payment of the full season."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Some things you can do to prepare for yard work services are aerate the soil, fertilize your grass, keep weeds under control, regularly mow your lawn, and water your grass.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.

Herbicide application, manual removal, and landscape fabric are common approaches.

The best type of fertilizer depends on the type of grass and your desired end result. Generally speaking, slow-release fertilizers are best for grass, as they gradually release nutrients into your soil instead of all at once, which meets the needs of many grass types. However, the tradeoff is that slow-release fertilizers contain phosphorus, which negatively impacts local water quality. Also, some grasses require different formulations to meet the demands of the soil. Test your soil to see how acidic or alkaline it is before choosing a fertilizer. 

First, you should figure out whether you have dormant or dead grass. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.
