Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can grass clippings affect my lawn?
    The impact of grass clippings on your lawn can be both positive and negative, depending on the quantity. Clippings serve as a valuable nutrient source, contributing to your lawn's health. However, an excess of clippings, especially when left in clumps, can harm your lawn, resulting in discolored patches and potential damage. To avoid this, it's essential to adhere to the 1/3 rule, mowing only a third of the grass blade at a time. In case of excessive clippings, disperse them by blowing out clumped areas or consider bagging the grass to prevent an accumulation beyond the norm.
  • How short should I cut my grass?
    Maintaining the proper mowing height is crucial. Although opting for a shorter lawn might appear convenient for longer intervals between mows, it creates an ideal environment for invasive weeds and grassy-type pests, leading to heat stress in your lawn during the hot summer months. Moreover, it can contribute to the onset of lawn diseases. We advise keeping your lawn at a minimum height of 3.5 inches using sharp blades and ensuring that no more than one-third of the grass blade is removed in a single cut.
  • Why should I switch my mowing patterns?
    Changing the mowing pattern regularly is crucial. Consistently mowing in the same direction week after week trains the grass to lean in a specific way, leading to stress and a worn-down appearance. By varying the mowing direction each week, the grass is allowed to grow upright and tall, as it naturally should.

  • How much does tree removal cost?
    The cost varies depending on factors such as the size and location of the tree, accessibility, and whether stump removal is included. It's best to get estimates from several local tree removal services for a more accurate cost.
