Fall 2020 Promo: GET YOUR SMART LAWN PLAN
There are many reasons to hire a lawn care service instead of doing it yourself. Convenience and expertise are two good ones. Maybe gardening is not your favorite hobby and you'd rather pay someone else to mow the grass. Or you don't like having to purchase, store, and maintain lawn care equipment. Experts know when and how to fertilize, or the best way to control weeds, and this saves you the trouble of having to figure it out. No more dead spots in your grass from misapplications...
Whatever your reason, a few traps to avoid when choosing a service provider include inexperienced, uninsured, or unlicensed companies.
Many agree that good workmanship and price are the most important qualities they look for in a lawn service. A well maintained landscape adds value to your property so it is important to protect your lawns, trees and shrubs from improper maintenance. Even a simple task like mowing and edging can be done wrong with negative impacts to the health and aesthetics of your yard. A low price is nice but the cost of quality includes the education and experience of those providing the service.
The landscape industry is highly competitive because it's easy to start a business with low overhead costs. Anybody with a pickup truck, a few tools, and a trailer can hang a sign and sell themselves as a professional landscaper. So beware; business cards, signs and flyers don't make them an expert and low prices might mean they are not insured. The competition between local businesses keeps prices down so a few extra dollars will likely buy you the expertise of a professional service.
