"Marcus did an outstanding job on my lawn. He was on time, professional, and took real pride in his work. Even though this was his first time cutting my yard, he made it look cleaner, sharper, and better maintained than it has in a long time. He worked efficiently and made sure everything was done the right way. Great customer service and great attention to detail. I highly recommend Marcus and Pro Landscape Care."

"Was waiting for another guy that my daughter had contacted to show up. Never showed up after a week of waiting. Did an online search and within minutes of sending my info, Rudy called and scheduled an appointment to give us an estimate. Did exactly what we wanted and cleaned up the yard and bush clippings. Excellent service and would recommend to anyone looking for a good yard maintenance man."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

You can mow the grass when it’s dry to the touch, usually between 2 and 5 hours if it was a light rainfall or morning dew. If the rainfall was significant, you may need to wait up to 2 days until the grass is dry. Touch the grass and soil to determine if it’s dry. Be sure to check in shady areas too, as those can take longer to dry out.

They maintain profitability by setting competitive rental prices, reducing vacancies through effective marketing, and ensuring tenants renew leases by offering well-maintained properties.

Depending on your lawn mower type, you can mow anywhere from 2.5 to 13 miles per hour (mph). A simple push lawn mower will take the longest to mow at 2.5 mph, which is just under the average walking pace. Riding mowers can go significantly faster. Rear engines come in at around 5 mph, tractors come in at just shy of 8 mph, and zero-turn mowers come in at the fastest speed of 13 mph.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. 

Yes, you can overwater your lawn. While water is essential for growth, too much can be damaging. Overwatering keeps the soil saturated, which can suffocate roots, kill beneficial bacteria, and starve the grass of nutrients and oxygen, leading to root rot. This can occur due to a leaky irrigation system, a rainy season, or using a sprinkler too often. In addition to harming your lawn's health and longevity, overwatering can also increase your water bill.
