These guys were awesome! Did an incredible job, found broken pipes and replaced them, and even left the lawn neat and smooth with grass seed. The way they maneuver the excavator is amazing!

Service was available quickly, prompt and helpful. As often happens, a seemingly simple project was more complicated than expected. Mr Williams worked through it and figured it out; then took care of it without making a big deal of it. The price was very fair and the expertise was worth it.

Technician was very prompt, friendly and took care of the hive very quickly. All done in only 25 minutes, that's why I give a B for price; felt a bit expensive for the small amount of time he was here. But overall I still do give an A! I do recommend!

"Terrible job. Very sloppy with smudges and uneven lines at juncion of different colors, i.e., ceiling and wall, wall and door frame. Coats of paint applied unevenly and spray paint on furniture which hadn't been adequatly protected. I had to pay another painter to rectify it at the cost of another $2,500. Also his painted painted the window shutters open which ruined them. They cost $300. Anthony said he would refund but of course did not. I have never written a bad review of anyone in my life and it doesn't feel good but his blatant disregard for any kind of professional standard is really gauling and I don't want anyone else be ripped off as I was."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home’s climate conditions. You can extend your grass’ lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.

Yes, you can water your lawn too much. Overwatering means the soil stays saturated and can suffocate, killing beneficial bacteria and starving the soil and your grass of nutrients and oxygen.

You should avoid mowing your newly planted grass seed until it has grown 3 or 4 inches. This growth can take up to two months, depending on factors such as grass type, soil, and weather conditions. Before mowing, make sure that your grass is dry to prevent blade damage. Do not remove more than one-third of the grass blade on the initial mow.

Usually, weekly mowings during the growing season are sufficient. However, you’ll need to consider your location and lawn care—grass that incurs more rain or fertilizer tends to grow faster than those in drier climates. Another thing to contemplate is mowing your grass to the correct height . Most grasses should stay around 2 to 3 inches, although several warm-weather grasses do better shorter—at 1 ½ to 2 inches.

Yes, you can overwater your grass. Depending on your climate, it could be easier than you think. While water is an essential element for lawn growth, too much of it can actually damage its roots, leading to rot and other damage.

Whether your drip irrigation system leaks, it’s been a rainy summer, or you use the sprinkler too often, overwatering your lawn can drive up your water bill and impact the longevity of your lawn.
