My name is Sarah Jameson and on this website I share my lawn care knowledge and experience so you can maintain a yard that you’ll use, enjoy, and be proud of without breaking the bank or constantly feeling behind on lawn projects.
Mowing the lawn, edging, and looking after the garden beds were all part of my weekly chores as a kid. Now, as a homeowner and a full time lawn care blogger, I’ve learned a lot about modern lawn care best practices.
I’m not a professional, but I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my lawn and property. On this site I share what I know.
