Frequently Asked Questions
What lawn care services do you provide?
ABC can handle any lawn project, big or small, one-time or ongoing. Our pros can help take care of your yard by helping with your:
Lawn Mowing
Mowing your grass regularly is a great way to keep your yard looking its best. Free up your weekends by letting our reliable crews cross this item off your to-do list. We can work with you to come up with a mowing schedule that best suits your grass and yard.
Lawn Fertilization
Portland’s coastal soils lack the vital nutrients to keep your plants healthy and happy. ABC’s fertilization schedule gives your grass and flowers the right supplements at the time of year that is most critical to promote new growth. In addition to keeping your greenery well-nourished, our fertilizers will keep weeds away so that you can spend your time enjoying your yard instead of maintaining it.
Composting
Composting involves regular applications of organic material directly onto your lawn. This works to improve the overall health of the turf. We typically recommend aeration with compost twice a year–typically in the fall and spring.
How often will you cut my grass?
Our team can create a lawn mowing schedule that best meets your needs and budget. Although each yard is slightly different, your sun exposure, type of grass, preferred grass height and seasonality are all factors in how frequently we recommend your service calls. During those times of year when your grass is growing the most, we may adjust your schedule to come as often as once a week.
Do I have to be at home every time you come work on my yard?
We understand that our customers have busy lives. In most cases, we can work on your lawn when you are out. We just ask that you give our technicians any information they need to access the areas where they will be working and that you keep your children and pets indoors.
What products do you use, and what impact will they have on my family, my pets and the environment?
As a family-run business, our top priority is the well-being of your family and pets. After decades of experience in the lawn care business, we have found superior products that are effective while minimizing the environmental impact. ABC only uses products that are formulated for residential use in low concentrations. Your ABC pro will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our products.
What is different about taking care of a lawn in a coastal climate?
Here in Portland, our plants need to be adapted to survive in consistently warm temperatures, and the salt spray, stronger winds and nutrient-poor soil make keeping your yard healthy an added challenge. To protect your lawn from sea breezes, we can create a windbreak of shrubs and hardy grasses, permeable fencing or latticework.
Coastal soil is also more vulnerable to erosion and less nutrients. Portland homeowners can take steps to address poor soil by choosing native plants that are adapted to these conditions. In addition, the regular application of mulch can help plants retain moisture and prevent erosion.
What equipment will you use on my lawn?
ABC’s crews bring commercial-grade mowing, edging and landscaping equipment and tools to fulfill your lawn services. This way, you don’t have to worry about getting your own equipment working and available. These materials allow us to get consistent, high-quality results for our customers.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Maria Cristina Halberdier

“A big thank you to ABC & Frank of Corpus Christi for helping us with our HVAC! Frank listened to our concerns & immediately located a leak in our system. He kept us well informed & took the time to explain everything. It was nearly 100° & we were thankful for the next day appointment. We appreciate all of your hard work!”

“I couldn't be happier with ABC's replacement of an AC condenser (outside unit). Even after replacing both inside (air handler) and outside units once with them, I did shop around to hopefully find something more affordable (since everything costs much more these days). But unlike others who tried to make me spend money on things I don't actually need or gave me a better price only after I tried to bargain, ABC was down to earth and Ed (salesperson) was most honest. ABC carries Lennox, which is supposed to be a premium brand, but it beat all other brand estimates. The team came almost immediately and did all the installation work in one seating (more than 3 hours straight). ABC probably won't pop up in a Google search for top AC businesses. Despite their anteater logo, they do a lot more than lawn care. Their HVAC services might well be Corpus Christi's best kept secret!”
