owned & operated. Award winning. Good's Tree Care provides quality tree and shrub care services and programs throughout the Central Pennsylvania area. Good's works in all 8 of the Central Pennsylvania counties.

"We hired Goods to aerate and re-seed our lawn. Instead, they applied pre-emergent to the bare spots, preventing new grass from germinating for 8-10 weeks. We offered to work with them to correct the mistake by waiting until the fall to do the aeration and re-seeding. Instead, they quit and walked away, leaving us with a lawn more damaged than when we started. This company should be avoided at all costs!"

"It's going to cost me thousands of dollars to repair the damage TruGreen has done to my property. There are large sections of my lawn where the grass is now completely gone as the result of improperly applying fertilizer and burning the grass. Before TruGreen my lawn was healthy and pothole free. I am also now dealing with a mosquito infestation. This after 7 treatments from TruGreen during 2022. Again, I never had this issue with my previous lawn care service. Avoid at all costs if you value your lawn."

"Tru green is the worst service out there. I paid up front for the seasonal service and all I got from them is more crabgrass and weeds I have ever seen in my yard. Neighbor is complaining my crabgrass is infiltrating his yard. I have dandelions in October, who gets dandelions in October. They don’t return calls. The worst ever."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Properly preparing the soil for planting grass seed may include applying fertilizer several weeks before spreading the seed if you plan to overseed the lawn. However, in most cases involving a brand-new lawn, spreading a starter fertilizer along with the grass seed will give it the best chance of taking root quickly and growing strong.

Leaf removal, aeration, dethatching, mowing, pruning, and fertilizing are activities that prepare lawns for the next season.

Depending on the lawn treatments, the best times of the year to redo your lawn are between mid-August and mid-September for overseeding and renovation treatments. For areas such as the southern United States, lawn aeration works best during the fall, when the temperatures begin to drop. Otherwise, early spring is your next best bet because the grass is fresh and ready to absorb nutrients, and the temperature isn’t hot enough to fry the grass and the renovation materials.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Look for a broadleaf herbicide, one that has been formulated specifically for dandelions and is considered grass-safe.
