- BPBasil Pederzani4 days ago5.0Thinking of changing lawn care provider. Contacted CMS for a quote. They came right out, gave me a price, gave me several recommendations on various lawn and tree issues and were very responsive to any calls or questions I had. They are at the top of my list for a new service provider.

- BOBOB OBRIENSep 30, 20255.0Excellent service and follow up to question that I had after aeration
- JMJeff McCormickJul 25, 20255.0I had a small split in my line and a head that needed replacing, I called them at 11:00 AM and they were at my home doing the repair by 3:00 PM same day. They tested the rest of the system and adjusted a couple of the sprinkler heads for better coverage. I've already booked my winterization appointment, they were fast, professional, and affordable. I'm recommending their services to anyone who needs sprinkler work done.
- RSR SquiresJun 2, 20245.0Excellent customer service always. We have used them for years. We have had no complaints. Always great on the phone, and in person. Very accommodating.
Frequently Asked Questions About CMS Landscaping Corp

How can i protect my lawn from salt damage in the winter?
To protect your lawn from salt damage in winter, consider these strategies: use physical barriers like plastic or burlap to minimize salt spray; shovel snow promptly to reduce salt usage; distribute shoveled snow evenly to limit salt concentration; opt for landscape-safe de-icing alternatives like sand or cat litter; and when using rock salt, adhere to recommended application rates to prevent excess buildup and potential plant damage.
How high should i mow?
For optimal lawn health, set your mower blades to a height of 3 inches. When mowing, remove only one-third of the grass plant's length. It's best to mow when the grass is dry to prevent clumping, and avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day. Maintain sharp mower blades and leave grass clippings on the lawn to provide nutrients.
How often should i aerate or aerate and seed my lawn?
We recommend performing aeration or a combination of aeration and seeding annually. This practice helps create a denser root system and alleviates soil compaction, promoting overall lawn health.
How often should i lime?
We advise applying lime at least once per year. To determine the precise amount of lime needed for your specific property, it's beneficial to conduct a soil test in the fall.
I am seeing mole tracks. does this mean i have grubs?
Mole tracks don't necessarily indicate a grub infestation. Moles have a varied diet that includes earthworms, slugs, snails, ants, beetles, and crickets in addition to grubs. Therefore, the presence of mole tracks alone doesn't confirm a grub problem.
Should i leave the grass clippings after i mow?
It is generally beneficial to leave grass clippings on your lawn after mowing. These clippings contribute nutrients back into the soil and do not contribute to thatch buildup. However, avoid using these clippings as mulch, especially if weed control products have been applied to your lawn. We do not recommend leaving the clippings if your lawn has an active disease or if there are excessive clippings.
Watering tips
For proper lawn maintenance, apply 1.5 to 2 inches of water per week. The most effective time for watering is in the morning or early afternoon.
What can i do with my online account?
Your online account provides several convenient features. You can view and pay invoices, print receipts, access service notes from previous visits, update your contact information, track the history of cms landscaping's visits to your property, and add additional services to your account.
Why am i seeing what looks like mole tracks in my lawn after the snow melts?
The tracks you observe after snow melt are likely caused by voles, not moles. Voles remain active during winter months. Often, these damaged areas will naturally recover as temperatures rise. A thorough raking can assist in promoting regrowth.
