"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

"Great lawn care service. Yard always looked great after they were there. Very lacking in customer service though. I was expecting my yard to be serviced but it was postponed a week due to weather (this was communicated to me). No prob. The next week came around, yard not serviced. It had rained again that week & I didn't think much of it. 2 weeks later, yard still not serviced. I emailed Tammy & she tells me she cancelled my service due to a realtor friend of hers telling her my house got a contract on it. (I'm still living in the house at the time & need the yard looking nice before new homeowners move in). It's crazy that she didn't reach out & before abruptly cancelling services without telling a customer. Would not recommend this company at all."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Your lawn will have visible signs if it needs fertilizing. If your grass looks discolored, is slow growing, looks thin, or your yard has bare spots, then it probably needs to be fertilized to give it the nutrients it's lacking. You should also keep an eye out for weeds and pests because they can also be signs of a struggling lawn.

Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.

Overfertilizing can burn and kill the grass as well as upset the soil's nutrient balance, leaving your grass prone to disease and infestation. You'll know that you have overfertilized your burn when you have recently fertilized and begin to see brown and yellow patches of dead grass that need to be reseeded. 

A soil test can tell you if your yard is experiencing acidic soil conditions, making your lawn limp, weak, and yellow. Raising the pH level by adding lime can improve the yellowing grass situation. However, lime application is only effective if acidic soil is the problem causing the yellowing. 

Yes, many professionals offer non-toxic and environmentally safe pest control solutions.
