"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

During normal temperatures, you should mow about once per week. However, if your grass is distressed by extreme heat, you should avoid mowing it altogether. Wait until after an irrigation session or rainfall. That way, your grass will be good and hydrated before you mow. Remember, you should not mow the grass when it’s wet. Wait until it dries first.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

The frequency of gardening service visits depends on two significant factors—the service and your budget. If you’re a gardening DIYer and only need someone to check on your plant's health quality, you might not need many visits throughout the year. However, if you love the idea of a garden but don't have the time or patience to plant, water, and maintain your garden, you might need weekly visits (or more, depending on the weather).

You free up your weekends, as pros often conduct mowing and maintenance efficiently and without disrupting your schedule.
