An estimate was provided the next day, and the price seemed more than fair. I agreed to it and Mike's crew were there the next morning taking care of everything with little disruption. Leaves were piled neatly for the city to vacuum (which they did that afternoon), beds were de-weeded, and the lawn provided with winterizing fertilizer. Mike came to check in afterwards and ensured the work was done. I assumed I would be mowing our property after the winter, but after the work that was done this week I'll definitely considering contracting Pontonio's Lawn Service to take care of it for us so we can focus on the gardening and just enjoy the lawn and landscaping.

We have just moved into the house, our first in the suburbs, and I was not looking forward to cleaning up the lawn that hadn't been touched in months. Mike was very quick to come by, take a look at the property, and recommend some activities to prepare the lawn, trees, and flower beds for...

From Concept to Completion. Plymouth Nursery & Landscape Co. provides design and build services for projects such as landscape, hardscape, lighting, irrigation, drainage , water features , outdoor kitchens, pavilions, porches and more. After your project has been completed we offer complete maintenance services to protect your investment.
"We hired Plymouth Meeting Nursery to completely transform the exterior landscape of our 100+ year-old home, where we live with our three young children and our ever-faithful golden retriever. As a licensed landscape architect, we approached this project with high standards and were looking for a contractor who offered fair, transparent pricing, excellent craftsmanship, and timely execution. Plymouth Meeting Nursery delivered on all counts. The scope of work was extensive and included the demolition of all existing landscaping, a deck, concrete walkways, fencing, and excess soil. In its place, the team installed new fencing, a beautiful cedar pergola, repointed brickwork on our home, irrigation, a synthetic lawn alongside fresh sod and thoughtfully selected plantings, outdoor lighting, a stunning bluestone patio with brick steps and retaining wall, a brick and bluestone fireplace, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a grill, sink, ice maker, and refrigerator. The project spanned nearly five months, during which a few scope changes arose. Each one was handled professionally and flexibly by John and his team. Their commitment was clear: the crew showed up consistently and kept the momentum going, which we greatly appreciated. We couldn’t be more proud of the results and highly recommend Plymouth Meeting Nursery for your next outdoor project. They’ve helped us create a space that’s not only functional and beautiful—but truly feels like a new extension of home."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts
Mowing is very good for your grass. It encourages the grass to grow back thicker and healthier. Keeping a lawn thick and healthy will also block out weeds that could stop grass from growing. Cutting your grass on a regular schedule will ensure your lawn continues to grow healthier with each season.
Mid-morning is one of the best times to cut the grass. By 10 a.m., the dew should have evaporated, and the lawn should be dry enough to cut. Cutting your grass at this time also allows your grass to recover before the heat sets in, making it more difficult and uncomfortable to mow.
Yes, it’s acceptable to water the lawn in very hot weather, but you should try to water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for best results. However, watering when the temperature is above 95 degrees is ineffective. If you’re concerned about whether to water your lawn during extreme heat, consult a local lawn care professional who can recommend a watering schedule based on your grass type and climate.
In general, cool-season grasses such as fescue grass, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia grass don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.
Carpetgrass is distinguishable by its pale green to yellowish color and coarse appearance that grows well under shady conditions in poor and compact soils. If it grows uncontrolled, it tends to develop a hairy seedhead, giving patches of grass a messy appearance. If carpetgrass is regularly cut, it looks very similar to centipedegrass and St. Augustine grass, and people may confuse them. Carpetgrass blades are flat and rounded at the tip. Note that the grass only typically grows as a weed in Southern states.
