"The hardest working person I've ever met. I was in desperate need of lawn mowing services because the last guys just never showed up without any word. After searching Jason of JP's Lawn Service came out same day and gave me a quote that seemed to be to good to be true. Days later my yard has never looked better. I highly recommend JP's Lawn Service."
"Bruce started the work with a talk and walk through of the lawn. He explained the basic elements of caring for the lawn and put his plan to work. Within several treatments, the lawn's weed count decreased dramatically and the rich green came on strong. I have worked with Bruce for several years and his treatment has led to dramatic improvements in my lawn."
"They did an outstanding job within the agreed time frame. My yard was horrible but it’s one of the best looking one on my block. I will reach out to New Ground Services on any of my lawn maintenance and design services."
"They got here about 9 am and were through around 10 am. They were fast and cleaned up after they were through. I am very pleased with the work that was done. The crew was friendly and through."
"Danny was a pleasure with which to work. His estimate to repair the sweep and threshold on our front door was reasonable. He worked quickly and diligently to make sure the door was repaired to perfect working order. Danny cleaned up all his work and let the work site just as he found it, only better! We love the way the door works now and we will do business with him again."
"I think they treated the wrong lawn. The note they sent me via text message referenced trees and shrubs in my yard, I have none. They also did not leave a yard marker showing they had been there. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 star review."
"Blake is a honest professional that produces an excellent quality of work. He is on time and very efficient completing the job. His fee is reasonable for the wide range of services he provides. I definitely will use him again."
Reducing household waste is the best way to save money on junk removal costs in the long run. Reusable kitchen, pantry, and cleaning supplies will make a large dent, as will creating an easy compost and recycling system in your home. Additionally, create an ongoing practice of recycling, donating, or repurposing items that are ready to go.
Ultimately, pulling weeds vs. spraying them depends on what’s happening in your yard and your personal preferences. Manual weed removal doesn’t introduce any chemicals into your landscape, targets specific problematic plants, produces immediate results, can be free if you go the DIY route, and is inexpensive with a weed service if you only have a handful of weeds. On the other hand, spraying is often preferable for severe weed infestations and situations involving difficult-to-pull weeds because it treats multiple weeds at once, is usually more effective long-term, is less time-consuming, and costs less when done by a pro.
If composting feels too complicated, mulching is an effective alternative. While composting focuses on breaking down yard waste to feed the soil, mulching uses that same organic material as a protective top layer. It's a quick way to get value from leaves, grass clippings, and other yard debris without the time or effort composting requires.
Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.
The best way to clean an overgrown yard is to create a multi-stage game plan, from clearing out the debris to cleaning up the edges around hardscaping and landscape curbing. Get rid of yard debris like worn furniture and broken tools first, then start trimming and raking what’s left. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, and rake leaves away. Once that’s complete, move on to more detailed work, like pulling weeds and replanting gardens.
