I have lived in the same house for over 25 years. My yard has always been a hobby of mine. We have had several lawn services over the years and until we found ALM we were just throwing our money away. Each year about late spring the grass looked OK with the other services, but none of them were able to keep the lawn looking GREAT throughout the hot summer months. Each year we were starting over ever Fall in an attempt to get a great looking lawn year around. ALM came onboard several years ago and now we are just improving on the great looking yard each year, not starting over.
