Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should you mow your lawn in Arkansas?

    During Arkansas's growing season, most lawns benefit from weekly mowing to maintain healthy growth and appearance. In hot summer months, growth may slow slightly, while spring often requires more frequent attention. At Dad & Daughter Lawn/Handyman Service, we offer regular scheduling to keep Greenwood-area lawns consistently well-manicured.
  • What types of flooring can be professionally installed?

    Professional installation is available for tile, laminate, and wood flooring in residential properties. Each material requires precision fitting and specific installation techniques to ensure durability and a quality finish. Proper subfloor preparation and expert craftsmanship prevent common issues like gaps, warping, or uneven surfaces over time.
  • When should trees and shrubs be trimmed?

    Most trees and shrubs benefit from pruning during their dormant season, typically late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This timing promotes healthy regrowth and reduces stress on plants. Regular trimming also improves appearance and removes hazardous branches that could threaten property safety during Arkansas storms.
  • What's the difference between fence panel repair and post replacement?

    Panel repair addresses damaged boards or sections of fencing, while post replacement involves fixing or installing the vertical supports that hold the fence upright. Post issues often require deeper fixes including concrete work, whereas panel repairs typically focus on surface damage. Both are essential for restoring complete fence integrity.
  • Can pressure washing damage my driveway or siding?

    When performed correctly with appropriate pressure settings, professional pressure washing safely removes dirt and stains without causing damage. Different surfaces like driveways, decks, and siding require adjusted pressure levels and techniques. Improper pressure or incorrect nozzle use can etch concrete or strip paint, making professional service important.
  • What items can be hauled away that curbside won't take?

    Comprehensive hauling services cover large appliances, scrap metal, lawn debris, and bulky items typically rejected by regular curbside pickup. This includes old refrigerators, washers, fence materials, tree branches, and other oversized debris. At Dad & Daughter Lawn/Handyman Service, we handle removal so homeowners avoid landfill trips.
  • How does mulching help my landscape in Arkansas?

    Mulch application improves soil moisture retention, regulates temperature, and suppresses weed growth around plants and garden beds. In Arkansas's humid climate, quality mulch also adds organic matter as it breaks down, promoting healthier soil nutrition. Regular mulching protects roots during both summer heat and occasional winter freezes.
  • What general home repairs do handyman services include?

    Handyman services cover a variety of maintenance tasks including light fixture installation, appliance mounting, TV installation, and general home improvement projects. These smaller repairs don't typically require specialized contractors but do need reliable skill and proper tools. At Dad & Daughter Lawn/Handyman Service, we handle everyday fixes efficiently.
  • Why should you fertilize your lawn regularly?

    Lawn fertilization provides essential nutrients that promote thick, healthy grass growth and improve resistance to weeds, pests, and disease. Regular application replenishes soil nutrition depleted by mowing and weather conditions. Proper fertilizing schedules help Greenwood lawns stay green and resilient through seasonal changes.
  • What are the benefits of professional siding installation?

    Professional siding installation enhances home exterior appearance while improving weather protection and energy efficiency. Proper installation prevents moisture infiltration, reduces heating and cooling costs, and extends siding lifespan. Quality craftsmanship ensures seams align correctly and materials are securely fastened to withstand Arkansas wind and rain.
