"I have an invasive weed Garlic Mustard that suddenly appeared in April and also the common buck thorn in my back trees. I was told I had to pay cash and they would not take a check. They would also not come to do any estimate on how many guys and hours I would need to do the job; I had to guess. I ended up having them come two times: first 4 guys for 8 hours; second time 2 guys for 4 hours (per the guess of the first leader for how long and what I'd need the second time). They still did not complete the job. The first crew of guys were better than the second crew of guys. They were college guys, some working hard, some walking and working slowly and on their phones. However, I'm suffering cancer and could not take care of the job, thus had to get someone to control the spread. Thankfully, they did get most of the job done for me. Whether the Garlic Mustard was pulled out by the root, time will tell. The first crew used shovels and got the buck thorn pulled out pretty good; the second crew just cut the buck thorn off. Although I had informed Eric Pfeffer about the invasive weed and explained how it would spread on boots and tools, procedures were followed by some of the guys and not by others. They did not seem to be familiar with working with an invasive weed. Both crews arrived on time, but stopped work 45 min before end time to pick up tools, but also both left the job site (unfinished) a good 20-30 minutes early. Eric communicated via email pretty good after the initial "canned" email response. In their survey, they ask to rate the guys - if you expect this, they need to have their names on their shirts or give you their names. I am unsure, I may or may not hire again."

"Here is my experience with this company. We wanted to hire a lawn care company to keep our lawn healthy and green. LCS Lawn Service did an assessment of our lawns in two locations. After their assessment, they provided me a 9-step lawn care treatment plan for each location. After 1 treatment in one location and two treatments in the other location, our grass has died / dying. After sending photos of their disastrous 1 or 2 treatment results, their solution to my dead / dying grass is for me to water the lawn more. NEWSFLASH: It has been raining. So, their watering solution was a worthless suggestion. My neighbors’ lawns in both neighborhoods are green. My neighbors received the same amount of rainwater as my lawns. If my neighbors’ grass is green, my grass should be green. Instead, my neighbors’ grass is green, and my lawns are dying. LCS Lawn Service did not offer any solutions on how they will correct this dying grass situation which is progressively getting worse. After complaining and emailing photos of my dying grass, a company representative did call me. She was going to set up an appointment with their people to meet me at each location to discuss this situation. To date, I have not heard from them."

Frequency comes down to lawn health. A thick, well-established yard may thrive on one feeding per year, while stressed or nutrient-poor turf could need a boost every six weeks. Watch for slow growth or yellowing blades—both are signals that the grass is running low on nutrients and ready for another treatment.
Yes, you can fertilize your grass immediately after cutting it. Applying fertilizer right after mowing lets the nutrients soak in before the next cut or watering. Bag or rake up clippings first so they don’t block granules from hitting the soil. This quick post-mow step can improve absorption and help the lawn recover faster from the trim.
Too much fertilizer can scorch grass blades, create brown or yellow patches, and damage the roots—a condition called “fertilizer burn.” Stick to the product’s spread rate, and never double up hoping for faster results. If you’re unsure of the correct amount, a local lawn-care pro can measure, calibrate, and apply the right dose for your yard.
Yes, you can treat your lawn with compost instead of fertilizer. Compost delivers a slow, steady stream of organic nutrients and can replace or supplement commercial fertilizers. While bagged fertilizer gives grass an immediate boost, compost improves long-term soil structure and microbial life, setting the stage for stronger roots and greener blades season after season.
Early spring is the time for an organic, slow-release blend that feeds steadily and builds soil health. A slow-release product delivers nutrients over several weeks, setting up vigorous growth for the rest of the season. If the lawn is thin or the roots are shallow, pair that base feeding with a small dose of quick-release fertilizer for an instant green-up.
