Pine Straw

Report

To calculate the number of bales you may need, enter the length of the area to be covered and then the length of the area or you can directly enter the number of total square feet. Then, select if the pine straw will be installed over old straw or on new bare ground.

Mulch

Report

Mulching is an ecologically sound technique for increasing plant health and decreasing yard work. And very beneficial in that it helps the soil retain moisture, helps control weeds, and provides a finished an formal appearance. Mulch only needs to be applied about three or four inches thick which will then settle to a two-inch depth.

Lawn Care

Report

Setting up an annual lawn care program is the key to helping a lawn grow its best. Following a program is sort of like keeping your car operating at peak performance by adhering to the maintenance schedule prescribed in the owner's manual.

Aeration

Report

Core Aeration is the process of making thousands of small holes in the turf. These holes allow fertilizer, water and air to reach the root zone quicker, resulting in new growth and increased root development. These holes will also open up the soil and help reduce thatch build up and soil compaction, allowing your lawn to breath and grow.

They would rather get home than do a good job. They don't honor the details of the HOA contract. If you can help it, avoid them. If I were able to fire them I would, however they are hired by my HOA management company. I have gone as far as disallowing them from the backyard and buying my own lawn equipment just because they leave my yard looking so bad.

I still have to pay them and I've kicked them out, THAT'S how bad they are! The owner has been nothing but impolite and argumentative about their duties, going as far as insulting me directly. Now, as you can see below in their response, they are threatening legal action over an honest review.that is a nice little microcosm of their entire business model. The pictures don't lie!
