Commonly Asked Lawn Care Questions
We get a lot of the same questions about scheduling, weather, access, and what’s included in our lawn care services. You’ll also find answers about lawn maintenance services, turf programs (weed control and fertilization), and commercial/HOA grounds maintenance. If you don’t see your question here, contact us and we’ll help.
Depending on how much rain is received we may still be able to service the yard. If a considerable amount of rain is received, we will move your property to the next dry business day. Details about our weekly service are on our Lawn Care Services page.
On weekly service schedules we will make every effort to service your property the same day. However, we work in an outdoor environment with pop up rain showers and other unpredictable elements. With this in mind, there will be times when we will service your property the day before or after your normal scheduled day. For details on what’s included with routine visits, see our Lawn Care Services page
Yes! We offer morning and afternoon service windows upon request.
Yes! Just send us an email to info@wacknsack.com or call our office at 205-621-8531.
We have a pre-notification system that sends out emails the day of or the business day before your property is scheduled. This will allow you to put away your dog or to unlock your fence.
In some cases it may adjust the way we do your yard, and there may be a small service fee adjustment. A great way to keep the cost down on your property is to request the fencing company put a gate that is at least 50 inches or wider. In most cases this allows us to mow the fenced in area with a larger mower.
You can schedule some services through the lawn portal on our website, or contact us through our Contact Page. If you’re looking to add lawn treatments, start with our Turf Management Services. For bed work and curb-appeal improvements, see our Landscaping Services. We even offer junk removal, so if you need haul-off, see our Junk Removal post.
Standard lawn maintenance typically includes mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup/blowing. If you have a specific request (fenced areas, gates, pet notes, etc.), let us know so we can service your property the right way. Full details and what’s included per visit are listed on our Lawn Care Services page.
Service frequency depends on growth rate and what you want the property to look like. Weekly service is best during peak growing season and to ensure a well maintained lawn. A 10-day schedule can work in lighter-growth periods or for certain properties. Service frequency options are explained on our Lawn Care Services page.
Most clients want more than just cutting grass. Our routine service is designed to keep the lawn looking finished, which is why it typically includes mowing plus edging, trimming, and cleanup each visit.
Yes. Turf programs are designed to support long-term lawn health with weed control and fertilization timed to the season. If you’re not sure what your lawn needs, contact us and we’ll point you to the right option. Learn more about our lawn treatment programs on our Turf Management page.
Pre-emergent helps prevent weeds before they sprout. Post-emergent targets weeds that are already growing. Our turf programs use both at different times of year to keep weed pressure down. We break down our program approach on the Turf Management page.
Timing depends on weather and turf type, but pre-emergent applications are generally scheduled before weed germination periods. If you’re on a turf program, we handle the timing for you based on the season so you don’t have to worry about it. Our seasonal schedule and program details are on our Turf Management page.
It depends on the specific treatment applied. When we perform lawn treatments, we can provide any watering instructions needed for that application.
Yes. We work with HOAs and managed commercial properties that need consistent scheduling, clean results, and clear communication. See our full commercial scope on our Commercial Services page.
