Hire someone who has been in business for a while and is confident in their work,
Ask your neighbors who the best gardener they know is, and if that's not an option go to local chat sites like Yelp or Angies List and find reviews,
Check out past clients by visiting their website or portfolio on home services app True Local provider finder, ask friends on social media for recommendations of people they might have dealt with before.

It all depends on the type, age and size of your hedge and what you are hoping to achieve. To encourage growth hedges should be trimmed during spring and right up till the of summer and high growth seasons.

When plants or grass can be easily pulled from the ground they are mostly likely not recoverable and are very likely dead. When the roots continue to hold that is a good indication the plants or grass are just dormant. Take a section of your brown grass or the plant you are concerned about and pull on it gently, if it comes out with ease it is dead. dead grass and plants will not come back to life but you can take steps to replace or regrow dead lawn and recover plants that are dehydrated and underperforming.

If you don't mind how it looks at first there is no reason that grass clippings can not be left on your lawn. Grass clipping should be as small as possible which is easily achieved when your lawn is mowed regularly. The clipping should be able to break down easily and deteriorate - so longer grass clippings should be avoided. Clippings are a perfect source of nutrients and rich in nitrogen. Feeding your lawn with recycled grass clippings mixed with a lawn fertilizer provides a very healthy and cost effective method for improving the quality and appearance of your lawn.

Grass seed is best mixed with a topdressing and applied directly to the lawn if you don't want to sow or work the seeds into the ground. It is important that seeds are kept moist and it is best to continue to water for 2 or 3 days especially when it has not been raining. While grass seed can grow when it is not been covered, poor germination can be expected and results are usually less optimal.

Yes! When you cut grass at the right length, in regular intervals and have a little extra know how. - Mowing your grass more often will help it regenerate thicker. The grass that is cut is encouraged to grow sideways rather than upwards. A hormone is released when the grass is cut and this helps the grass to become thicker at the roots and spread more densely as new shoots come up.

A good lawn mowing schedule is about every second week in summer and spring perhaps two to five weeks apart in autumn and winter. Spring however may require more frequent mowing as the spring weather and climate may speed up growing cycles. Different types of grass will grow at different rates during different seasons. Keeping your grass at a regular length that is suitable for the type of grass will help avoid yellow, dried-out patches and reduce the cost and time associated with fertilizing and other upkeep. Grass will usually be a more lush and healthy look when it is a little longer but kept at a consistent length.
