Acclaim Services was founded in 1999 by Mark & Teresa Harris, after many years of working for others in the industry. Teresa worked with a local gardening company for several years, maintaining gardens in Farmington, Keswick and Albemarle county. Mark began doing lawn care in his teens, worked with mixing & applying fertilizers and nutrients at a farm store, spent several years as the sells & service manager for a Lawn Doctor of Chesterfield and worked for Lawn Doctor of Charlottesville. Mark & Teresa have taken classes through The Virginia Tech. Extension Service and local nurseries. Mark has taken classes and been certified through Virginia Tech and their Master Gardener programs, Virginia Turfgrass Council, Lawn Doctor University, Toro University, Rainbird Irrigation, Techo Block wall systems, Belgard Stone, Easyturf artificial turf and Cast low voltage lighting. We have been designing, installing and maintaining landscapes, lawns, Hardscapes, landscape lighting, water features and irrigation systems since 1999. We have been the landscape contractor for The Colonnades Senior Living Community, in Charlottesville, since 1999. Call us today for a free estimate.

"After another patch of poor weather and another visit by Miss Utility, the project got started in late October with Mark supervising all the work. After locating the irrigation lines, the excavator got started right away. This person was a highly qualified professional and his work with the machinery was outstanding. About halfway down the driveway they identified the power and cable lines and expertly navigated around them. The two other crew members worked along the excavator pulling up rocks, cutting roots, and removing other debris. The excavating was done in the morning and in the afternoon the crew lined the ditch with fabric. Next, they began to carefully place the larger rocks into the ditch on top of the fabric. Each large rock was meticulously placed by hand in the ditch, very similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together. This took a couple of days to complete. Once this was done another layer of smaller stones were distributed between the spaces between the large rocks. When this was done, the area was completely cleaned up. A pile of large rocks were left for us to use around the rest of the yard. It was an amazing job and we are very pleased by how attractive it is. All the employees were courteous and hard working. It was a very professionally done job by everyone involved and they answered all our questions along the way. We had requested quotes from two other local companies that we never heard from again after leaving numerous messages with their answering services. We were very impressed with the prompt and courteous approach from Mark and his company down to his work crews. We would highly recommend Acclaim Services for your landscaping needs."

"Stuart's team of professionals provided excellent service in removing trees on our property. The largest tree was within three feet of our house with branches hanging over the roof. They arrived on schedule, safely removed the trees and all debris at a very reasonable cost. Our experience with Stuart and his company was a very positive one from our 1st meeting until our last. We will definitely use them again and would recommend them to others as well."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

On average, the cost of lawn fertilization is $250, ranging from $80 to $400, depending on the size of the lawn, its current condition, additional treatments, number of applications, fertilizer type, and location. Keep in mind that labor, tools, and equipment make up 80% to 90% of the total cost of lawn fertilization. Additional lawn treatment options include:

  • Lime treatment: $100–$150 per 1,000 square feet

  • Crabgrass treatment: $30–$80

  • Grub treatment: $30–$80

  • Mulching: $150–$400

  • Dethatching: $265–$295

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.

Starting a mowing business can be profitable if you manage your business wisely, calculate costs accurately, and invest in time-efficient, high-quality equipment. With good customer service, you can lock in loyal customers who invest in weekly lawn care services that turn your business into a successful one. 

Lawn care businesses can earn anywhere from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year depending on how you operate, but you’ll need to factor in the cost of equipment to determine your actual profit margins.

You can fertilize right after mowing as long as you've collected the clippings. If you leave grass clipping, they can form a mat that prevents the fertilizer from reaching the soil. Plus, grass clippings are rich in nitrogen, so if you leave them and then apply fertilizer, you can end up with too much nitrogen in the soil.

Chemical herbicides will kill moss permanently. The same goes with bleach water. However, moss can start growing again once a new layer of dirt and debris is caught in your sand in paver joints. Therefore, the problem is not about killing moss permanently, but ensuring effective prevention of moss regrowth.
