For many people, the price of home lawn care is almost as important as the care their lawn receives. When you start evaluating lawn care companies, remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for." Remember, a perfect lawn is not necessarily a cheap lawn.
There are big name companies like Scotts Lawn Care and Chem Lawn and several others, which can be very expensive, but they do a wonderful job. They have all the best lawn care tools and lawn supplies at your disposal. They use the best fertilizer on your lawn and will make sure you have a true green lawn. However, there are people who don't really care, landscaping services like these are simply excessive.
Take a look at the grass of your friends and neighbors. Ask them if they are happy with the lawn care business they are dealing with. Are they satisfied with the service? Are they well treated? Do they have that perfect lawn that you wish you had on your property?
With a little care, landscaping services shouldn't be that difficult to find. Be careful though, because sometimes a lower price can mean lower quality. Get a price quote for basic lawn care service, then get a separate quote for anything additional you want to do. Do you want some landscaping? Is it additional to fertilize the lawn? Do they use renowned products like Scotts fertilizer or do they use a generic lawn generator?
What about grass seeds? Do they use the best grass seeds available? A reputable lawn company will be able to give you product names and labels for all of your lawn seed mixes, fertilizers, and pest control products.
What techniques do you use to improve the health of your soil and grass? This is an important part of any home lawn care program, and not all companies provide these services. Some services you would like to see include lawn seeding, over-seeding, mulching, lawn aeration, and manual weeding. Yes, believe it or not, some of this work still needs to be done by hand!
If they don't provide these services, they may be able to show you how to do it on your own. Believe it or not, you must learn to sow grass so that you end up with beautiful green grass. You don't want to kill your weed after all.
I hope these questions are helpful to you when choosing a home lawn care company. You know you can't afford those top-of-the-line lawn care tools, but they will have them for you. They will have the best grass seeds, they will have the best fertilizers, and they will help you grow beautiful and perfect grass and beautiful and perfect grass.
