"I was extremely dissatisfied with this service. Always a different service provider, not always familiar with were to apply product. Weeds prevailed. And I am being charged for two applications this season even tho I had called to cancel. They claim they have no record of my cancellation. Automatic renewal. No one let me know someone was coming nor was a green lawn sign left to indicate someone had been there. Why would I use green lawn when I am already using trugreen, which is a far superior company and much easier to deal with. I feel that green lawn is a rip off."

We are Carmelo landscaping LLC. We provide a professional and safe service. Businesses started back in 2012 by Carmelo himself and still working with the crew to help bring the best. We service the Tri state area, mainly Chester County & Delco
"Carmelo and Miguel did a superb job at removing leaves from our yard. We took advantage of the "deal" for 2 hours of work by 2 men, and prioritized the most important areas to focus on. Carmelo and Miguel were terrific, they worked hard to get as much done as possible within the time frame, and were very amenable to focusing on the main areas we requested help with. One thing we did not realize was that the time required to take the leaves to the disposal area needed to come out of the total time allotted, so we weren't able to get everything completed as we had hoped, but the job was well done, and the price paid was worth hiring someone to do it. Definitely would like to employ their service in the future."

"I have been using Alberto Lara's landscaping services for a couple years, and all of the work he has done has been excellent. He regularly cuts my lawn, and he'll perform other landscaping work as requested. I had a lot of tree vines and small trees that were unsightly adjacent to my driveway. Some of that tree trimming work was high up, so I didn't want to do it myself. Alberto handled it all, and he did a great job, and at a reasonable price. Alberto has done snow plowing for me both this season and last winter season. He has done the snow plowing better than anyone else I've used over the past 20-years. He is very respectful and he always shows up when he says he is going to. I have been able to communicate with him via email and text. Texting is faster and I usually hear back from him faster when I text, so I try to use that method of communication more. I HIGHLY recommend Alberto Lara for landscaping and snow removal services. I have given his info to numerous co-workers, and I wouldn't do that if I didn't 100% faith in Alberto. I'll probably be in my house for another 20-years, and I will continue to use Alberto Lara (Lara Landscaping) as long as he is still doing the landscaping and snow removal services."

Lawn dethatching services FAQs
Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.
You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.
Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.
The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
