Accepted Answer

Question 7

How often should I mow my lawn in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

During peak growing season (May-July), weekly mowing is recommended for most Idaho lawns. In spring and fall, bi-weekly service is usually sufficient as grass grows more slowly. We can adjust your schedule based on growth rates and weather conditions.

Question 8

What height do you cut the grass?

Accepted Answer

We typically maintain lawns at 3 to 3.5 inches in Idaho. This height promotes deep root growth, shades out weeds, and helps lawns withstand our hot, dry summers. Taller grass stays greener longer and requires less watering.

Question 9

When is the best time to aerate my lawn in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Fall (September-October) is the ideal time for aeration in Idaho. The soil is still warm enough for root growth, but cooler temperatures reduce stress on the grass. Spring aeration (April-May) is also beneficial but avoid aerating during hot summer months or when soil is frozen.

Question 10

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Most Idaho lawns benefit from annual aeration, especially those with clay soil or heavy foot traffic. High-traffic areas or lawns with severe compaction may benefit from twice-yearly aeration (spring and fall).

Question 11

How many times per year should I fertilize my lawn in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 4-5 fertilizer applications per year for Idaho lawns: early spring, late spring, summer, early fall, and late fall. This schedule provides consistent nutrition through the growing season and prepares the lawn for winter.

Question 12

Is fertilizer safe for my kids and pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when applied correctly. We use professional products that are safe once dry (typically 2-4 hours after application). We recommend keeping kids and pets off the lawn until the fertilizer has been watered in and the grass is dry.

Question 13

When is the best time to treat weeds in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are the most effective times for broadleaf weed control. Pre-emergent crabgrass control should be applied in early spring before soil temperatures reach 55°F. Post-emergent treatments work best when weeds are actively growing.

Question 14

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Broadleaf weeds like dandelions typically show signs of dying within 7-14 days. Complete elimination may take 3-4 weeks. Crabgrass and grassy weeds can take longer. Some stubborn weeds may require multiple applications.

Question 15

How often should hedges be trimmed in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Most hedges benefit from trimming 2-3 times per growing season. Fast-growing hedges like privet may need trimming every 6-8 weeks during summer. Slow-growing evergreens may only need annual trimming. We can recommend the ideal schedule based on your specific plants.

Question 16

When is the best time to trim shrubs?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the shrub type. Spring-flowering shrubs (like lilac) should be trimmed right after flowering. Summer-flowering shrubs can be trimmed in early spring. Evergreens are best trimmed in late spring or early summer. We can manage the timing for you based on your specific landscape.

Question 17

How long before I can walk on new sod?

Accepted Answer

Light foot traffic is okay after 1-2 weeks, but avoid heavy use for at least 3 weeks. Wait 4-6 weeks before allowing pets or heavy play. The sod needs time to root into the soil before it can handle stress.

Question 18

When is the best time to install sod in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal in Idaho. Summer installation is possible but requires more intensive watering. Avoid installing when temperatures exceed 90°F or when ground is frozen.

Question 19

How much does a patio cost in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Patio costs vary by material and size. Basic concrete patios: $8-15/sq ft. Stamped concrete: $12-20/sq ft. Paver patios: $15-30/sq ft. Natural stone: $20-40/sq ft. A typical 300 sq ft paver patio costs $4,500-9,000 installed.

Question 20

Pavers vs. stamped concrete - which is better?

Accepted Answer

Pavers are more durable, easier to repair (replace individual pavers), and handle freeze-thaw better - ideal for Idaho. Stamped concrete is less expensive upfront but can crack and is harder to repair. We typically recommend pavers for Idaho's climate.

Question 21

When should I winterize my sprinkler system in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

October is the ideal month for sprinkler winterization in Idaho. You want to complete the blowout after you're done watering for the season but before the first hard freeze (typically late October to early November). We get extremely busy in October, so schedule early.

Question 22

What happens if I don't winterize my sprinklers?

Accepted Answer

Water left in pipes can freeze and expand, causing pipes to crack, valves to break, and sprinkler heads to shatter. Repair costs can easily run $500-2000+ in the spring. Winterization at $75-125 is cheap insurance against expensive damage.

Question 23

What type of mulch is best for Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Cedar and hardwood bark mulches are most popular in Idaho. Cedar smells great and repels insects. Hardwood bark lasts longer and enriches soil as it decomposes. For decorative areas, natural stone or black mulch works well. We help you choose based on your plants, budget, and aesthetic goals.

Question 24

How much mulch do I need?

Accepted Answer

For 2-3 inch depth, you need about 1 cubic yard per 100 square feet. We measure your beds and calculate exact quantity needed. Most residential properties need 3-8 cubic yards for complete coverage of all landscaped areas.

Question 25

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Walls over 4 feet high typically require permits and engineering in most Idaho cities. Walls under 4 feet usually don't need permits but check local codes. Walls near property lines may have additional requirements. We can advise based on your specific project and location.

Question 26

What material is best for retaining walls?

Accepted Answer

Interlocking concrete blocks (like Allan Block) are most popular in Idaho - affordable, durable, and DIY-friendly for smaller walls. Natural stone looks beautiful but costs more. Timber is economical but has shorter lifespan (15-20 years vs. 50+ for concrete/stone). We recommend based on your budget, aesthetic, and wall height.

Question 27

When should I schedule Christmas light installation?

Accepted Answer

We install Thanksgiving week through mid-December. Book in October for best availability - prime weeks book up fast! Our schedule fills quickly as November approaches. Early booking ensures you get installation before your holiday parties and gatherings.

Question 28

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Typical homes (1,500-2,500 sq ft): $400-1,200. Larger homes (2,500-4,000 sq ft): $1,200-2,000. Premium/elaborate displays: $2,000-3,500+. Cost includes design, all equipment, commercial-grade lights, installation, mid-season service, and post-holiday removal. Storage service adds $75-150/year.

Question 29

When should I schedule fall cleanup in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Late October through mid-November is ideal timing for the Treasure Valley - after most leaves have fallen but before ground freeze and first major snow. Earlier is risky (leaves still falling), later risks frozen ground and snow. We monitor weather closely and recommend scheduling early November for most properties. Different areas have different timing: lowland Kuna/Nampa typically mid-late November, foothill areas (Eagle, North Boise) late October-early November.

Question 30

How much does fall cleanup cost in Kuna and surrounding areas?

Accepted Answer

Typical residential properties (5,000-8,000 sq ft lot): $200-400 depending on leaf volume and services included. Larger properties (10,000-15,000 sq ft): $400-700. Properties with heavy tree coverage or multiple large trees: $500-1,000+. Gutter cleaning adds $150-300. Multiple cleanup visits: Package pricing saves 10-15%. We provide free detailed estimates based on your specific property conditions.

Question 31

When should I schedule spring cleanup in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Late March through April is the optimal window for Treasure Valley spring cleanup - after snow melts and ground thaws but before aggressive spring growth begins. Exact timing varies by elevation and weather patterns. We typically start lowland areas (Boise, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell) in late March when daytime temps reach 50-60°F consistently. Foothill areas (Eagle, North Boise) and higher elevations start early-mid April. Scheduling too early means working in mud and potential re-snow; too late means mowing through aggressive growth.

Question 32

How much does spring cleanup cost in Kuna and surrounding areas?

Accepted Answer

Typical residential properties (5,000-8,000 sq ft): $250-450 depending on property size, winter damage severity, and debris volume. Larger properties (10,000-15,000 sq ft): $450-800. Properties with heavy winter damage or extensive debris: $600-1,200+. Price includes complete cleanup, debris haul-away, and first mowing. Package pricing available when combined with aeration, fertilization, or mulch installation (typically save 10-15%). Free detailed estimates provided.

Question 33

How much does snow removal cost in the Treasure Valley?

Accepted Answer

Per-push residential: $75-150 per snowfall event depending on driveway size and complexity. Seasonal residential contracts (unlimited service Nov-March): $400-800. Commercial per-push: $200-800+ depending on lot size. Commercial seasonal contracts: $1,500-5,000+ based on square footage, access, and priority level. Per-push pricing works well for Idaho's variable winter (some years only 5-8 events, others 15-20). Seasonal contracts provide budget certainty and priority service.

Question 34

What is the trigger depth for snow removal service?

Accepted Answer

Standard trigger is 2-3 inches of snowfall. This balances service frequency with cost-effectiveness - below 2 inches typically melts quickly in Idaho sun, above 3 inches creates access and safety problems. You can customize trigger: lower (1-2 inches) for medical professionals or high-traffic businesses, higher (4-6 inches) for budget-conscious properties with less traffic. Many clients use 2-inch trigger for walkways/entries, 4-inch for driveways to optimize cost while maintaining safety.

Question 35

When should I winterize my sprinkler system in Idaho?

Accepted Answer

October is the ideal month for sprinkler winterization in Idaho. You want to complete the blowout after you're done watering for the season but before the first hard freeze (typically late October to early November). We get extremely busy in October, so schedule early.

Question 36

What happens if I don't winterize my sprinklers?

Accepted Answer

Water left in pipes can freeze and expand, causing pipes to crack, valves to break, and sprinkler heads to shatter. Repair costs can easily run $500-2000+ in the spring. Winterization at $75-125 is cheap insurance against expensive damage.

Question 37

LED vs. halogen landscape lights - which is better?

Accepted Answer

LED is superior in every way: 75% less energy use, 25-year lifespan (vs. 2 years for halogen), cooler operation, and better light quality. LEDs cost more initially but save significantly over time. We exclusively install LED systems.

Question 38

How much does landscape lighting cost?

Accepted Answer

Typical residential systems: $2,500-7,500 for 12-20 fixtures covering front yard, walkways, and key features. Larger estates: $10,000-25,000+. Monthly operating cost with LED: $3-8 depending on hours used. ROI is immediate through increased security and enjoyment.

Question 39

How much does a sprinkler system cost?

Accepted Answer

Typical residential systems: $2,500-5,000 for quarter-acre lots. Half-acre: $4,000-7,000. Cost varies with property size, zones needed, and features like smart controllers. A quality system pays for itself in 5-10 years through water savings and lawn health.

Question 40

What is a smart sprinkler controller?

Accepted Answer

Smart controllers (like Rachio or Rain Bird WiFi) use local weather data to automatically adjust watering. They skip cycles when it rains, reduce watering in cool weather, and can be controlled via smartphone. They save 30-50% more water than standard timers and often qualify for utility rebates.

Question 41

What are signs I need sprinkler repair?

Accepted Answer

Common signs: brown spots in lawn, soggy/flooded areas, hissing sounds, visible geysers or spraying water, sprinklers not popping up, controller errors, unusually high water bills, or uneven coverage. If you notice any of these, schedule a repair inspection.

Question 42

How much do sprinkler repairs cost?

Accepted Answer

Service call: $75-125 includes diagnosis and minor adjustments. Replacing 1-5 sprinkler heads: $100-250. Valve replacement: $150-300. Major repairs (mainline breaks): $300-800. We provide upfront pricing before proceeding with any repair.
