"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

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.

Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring. That’s why we recommend planting this grass variety in the spring to jump into the ideal growing and regrowing schedule. Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.
