"These are extremely nice and responsive people. However, their mole removal service just doesn’t work. We have had 5 scheduled treatments. We are now told that we are beyond warranty after the last treatment on 8/16. We started the service back on 6/19. And now after a $625 charge, we still have moles. These folks may be very effective in other areas, but if you need mole removal, this company definitely doesn’t have the solution."

"Terrible company. Terrible customer service. Second time in a row I could not see hardly any fertilizer in my grass. Called to talk to a supervisor and got a run around from terrible customer service person that told me they did not have a phone number for a supervisor. Got two "free" retreatments that burned my grass. Supervisor showed up unannounced at my house a month later after I cancelled my service. Too little, too late. Then I was charged $77 on my credit card 25 days after they told me my account was cancelled."

High quality lawn care service that uses the best and safest products available to help you get the lawn you are looking for. We are a privately owned local business, that is part of the largest franchised lawn care company in the world.

"In my experience their product is ineffective, they are unreliable, and behave unethically. My next-door neighbor, and I started using lawn treatment services (different companies) at the same time. My lawn was in much better condition than hers when we started. We used these services for over a year. Now, her lawn looks great! Mine is in really rough shape. I pulled over 100 pounds of weeds this spring. It took multiple calls to get them to come out and look at my lawn. When they did, they came during the timeframe that I asked them not to come, and they left the gate open so my dog got out while I was working. The technician was supposed to communicate with me about what he found, he didn’t. When I finally got someone at the office to return my call, they told me the problem was Dallas grass, and that I would have to pay them extra to eradicate it. Dallas grass is a crabgrass. They claim they treat for crabgrass as part of their standard treatment packages. My next-door neighbor, and I use the same lawn cutting service, so whatever weeds are spread to my yard are spread to her yard. She had some Dallas grass this spring, but not nearly as much as I did. She did not need any additional treatments or have to pay her service any additional money to control the Dallas grass (which is completely gone now). And it gets worse, they were recently aerating a different neighbors yard. Instead of parking in front of that neighbors house, they parked in front of mine. They unloaded their equipment onto my lawn and damaged my irrigation system. There was absolutely no reason for them to park in front of my house, much less unload their equipment onto my lawn instead of the neighbors. I confronted them. The a****** lied, said he didn’t drive it over my lawn. There weee fresh grassy tire tracks on the sidewalk and tracks on my lawn. They then drove their equipment back over my lawn. There was no reason for then to set foot on my lawn other than to be obnoxious. I will be suing them for the damage to my irrigation system."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The best type of fertilizer depends on the type of grass and your desired end result. Generally speaking, slow-release fertilizers are best for grass, as they gradually release nutrients into your soil instead of all at once, which meets the needs of many grass types. However, the tradeoff is that slow-release fertilizers contain phosphorus, which negatively impacts local water quality. Also, some grasses require different formulations to meet the demands of the soil. Test your soil to see how acidic or alkaline it is before choosing a fertilizer. 

Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:

  • Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.

  • Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.

  • Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.

  • Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.

  • Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.

Some of the particular herbicides that work best to get rid of nut grass without killing the grass include Halosulfuron-methyl, mesotrione, sulfentrazone, and metsulfuron. A herbicide like glyphosate would kill nutgrass, but it will kill nearby plants, too.

Start your search for a good lawn care company by finding some landscapers in your area; it might be a good idea to research companies that already work on your block, as they’re more likely to be able to fit you into their schedules, given your proximity. Next, conduct a search online to see if they have positive customer reviews, and try to avoid companies that have poor scores or a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, make sure to ask each company about pricing, contracts, scheduling, and any add-on services.

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall.
