The 1-3 rule is a simple yet effective guideline for mowing: never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at any single time. This practice minimizes stress on the grass, encouraging deeper root growth, which is vital for thriving in Alabama's hot, humid summers. It leads to a healthier, more robust lawn.
The most expensive aspects of landscaping often involve significant hardscaping, such as building large patios, outdoor kitchens, or intricate retaining walls. Installing mature trees or custom water features can also be costly. The type and quantity of materials used, like specialized rocks, also influence the overall price. We provide detailed estimates for all projects.
