The crew your Forest Lake neighbors already use — same-week starts, HOA-ready results.
Forest Lake's established lots carry more shade from mature trees than newer Mount Holly neighborhoods, which changes both mowing height and how much weed pressure shows up in thin spots — something factored into the lawn-specific recommendation rather than a blanket treatment.
Forest Lake's mature tree canopy means less direct sun than newer Mount Holly streets, so mowing height gets raised to keep shaded turf from thinning further.
Wherever shade has worn grass down, weeds find the opening first — a lawn-specific plan targets those patches instead of treating the whole yard the same.
Older lawns here have deep roots but also decades of tree growth working against them — density takes more attention now than it used to.
Before any feeding starts, spring visits confirm how much the canopy has filled back in and adjust the mowing height accordingly.
Raising the deck under mature trees keeps shaded turf from scorching in patches that get filtered light instead of full sun.
Early fall is when shade-tolerant seed actually has a chance to establish before next summer's canopy closes back in.
Mature trees mean heavier leaf drop — clearing it before it mats down protects the turf underneath through the dormant months.
Highly recommend Spence and his lawn care services. He was consultative during our first meeting, very helpful with questions, and detail oriented in his work. The scheduling tool and platform is easy to use and billing is straightforward. Look forward to continuing this service come spring and summer 2026.
We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work done by Spence and the crew! From the very first consultation, the entire process was professional, efficient, and stress-free. They truly addressed our needs, offered expert suggestions, and kept our yards in tip-top shape. We have used them at our home and rental properties and are always impressed with the excellent work they do. Not only are they great at landscaping, but their website, scheduling updates, and communication are above and beyond other companies we have worked with in the past. In the yard, the attention to detail, quality of workmanship, and care taken with every aspect of their work really stood out. Our yard has completely transformed — it’s beautiful, functional, and getting so many compliments! If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and passionate about what they do, I highly recommend them. We will absolutely be using their services again!
Folks Spencer’s Lawn service has been the best service I’ve invested in. Two years ago, I spent a lot of money to have a Tall Fescue lawn sown in. Last year, I tried treating the yard myself and killed the lawn I spent a lot of money on. Spencer’s Lawn service came in and saved what I destroyed and the grass has come back and is beautiful now along with weed free. After a couple more years of their service, my lawn will be the best in the neighborhood thanks to Spencer’s.
