"Isaac and his crew were very professional. Any questions I had were answered promptly. They were very efficient and paid great detail to every aspect of the project. I had them prep for a pad for my home, some drainage work and also installed my mound system. Very satisfied with the quality of work and would recommend to everyone. Ypu want the job done right the first time Isaac and his crew are the ones to go with."

"This young man has obviously been the recipient of tutelage well beyond his experience as he is wise beyond his years. He is very affable and is a very good listener. He is somehow able to grasp your vision beyond the words you can provide and create just what was in your mind. A fine young man who will probably become way too busy to work for you. Haha"

Hi my name is Tyler. I have alotted a lot of skills over the years and want to put them to use. I am hard working and dedicated to each job I take. I am good for a lot of small jobs - cleaning, building/fixing things, lawn care, etc. Can take on larger jobs with more people if needed. I take my time and make sure you are happy with what you receive.

"I needed a professional to mow my lawn. I found Pegton's from the internet and called. I reached Peter right away, and he immediately offered to meet with me and provide a free estimate on the next day. I was tied up on the next day, so we scheduled a meeting on the day after. At exactly our scheduled time, he showed up, walked around my lawn and provided a very reasonable quote, which I agreed right away. Then he told me the day of each week my lawn would be mowed. On that day of the next week, he and Josh showed up. They mowed the lawn, trimmed the edges, and blew away some small patches of chopped grass. When their work was done, the lawn looked great. From my encounters with Peter, I really feel that he is a very nice person to work with. He is very friendly, punctual, easy to reach by phone, very reliable, and does great work at very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend his services to everyone."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice brown patches where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

You should wait about seven to 10 days after you top dress your lawn to mow. This will give the ground ample time to absorb the nutrients from the sand, topsoil, and compost, and help facilitate growth before you trim the existing grass. It’s also best to water the lawn frequently in the week or so after you top dress and before you mow.

If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself—such as reseeding your lawn or testing the soil—a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.

You should not water your lawn every day, even in hot weather. For most lawns, watering one to three times per week is sufficient. It is best to water during a drought or when temperatures are high, but avoid watering in the middle of the day or if the temperature exceeds 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The extreme heat will cause the water to evaporate before the soil can fully absorb it. The best time to water is in the early morning at dawn or in the early evening (between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.) when the temperature is cooler.
