DIY vs. Pro

While tackling an overgrown lawn might seem like a DIY project, consider the following:

• Time Commitment: DIY can take a lot longer, especially if you lack the right tools.
• Safety Risks: Overgrown areas can hide sharp objects or pests.
• Quality of Work: Professionals have experience and equipment for a polished finish.

Common Mistakes

• Mowing Too Short: Cutting grass too low can damage roots.
• Ignoring Weeds: Letting them go can lead to a bigger problem.
