"Had them lay sod around a new paver patio which involved a slight slope and also some patches throughout the yard. They were reasonable in pricing and did an excellent job. The grass was green when they installed so definitely new cut sod. Would hire them again"

"We had a great experience with Roots and Rise Lawncare. They took care of everything—cutting the yard, clearing all the leaves, and trimming the hedges—and did an excellent job from start to finish. The yard looks fantastic. Jake was very professional and easy to work with, and we definitely made the right choice by using him. I would absolutely recommend Roots and Rise Lawncare and will be using them again."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

A land-clearing project begins with assessing and preparing the property and pulling any necessary permits with your municipal building department. Clearing can begin after the project details are ironed out between you and your pro and a written contract is signed. Pros will bring out the necessary equipment and crew to first remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. Your pro will then load up and haul away the project debris, and depending on the project, they may finish by grading the cleared land. 

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

Generally, it is not necessary to remove old mulch before applying a new layer. As organic mulch breaks down, it enriches the soil with nutrients. However, you should remove the old layer if it shows signs of fungus or disease, which can be common in moist areas, or if the total depth is already too thick. Avoid letting the total mulch depth exceed 3 inches, as this can harm plant roots. If you do remove old, disease-free mulch, it can be added to a compost pile.

Removing leaves prevents mold growth and ensures grass gets sunlight and air circulation.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.
