"CRI Landscaping (Mr Abel Lomeli) recently completed work at my home in fixing two major leaks in the lawn irrigation system main line and replacing a sprinkler shut-off valve. Abel demonstrated a keen understanding of the irrigation system and sprinkler line layouts. He showed a great judgement in locating the source and types of the leaks in the system. Once that was determined, he came up with a reasonable plan and cost estimate to fix the leaks. With the help of his able assistant, he had the leaks fixed and the shutoff valve replaced in a very timely manner. Overall, Abel did an outstanding high quality work. I would strongly recommend him without any reservation for any lawn, irrigation, sprinkler system, and valves work. Certainly deserves a 5-Start rating."

"Professional, friendly and knowledgeable, Jose worked with me on my budget for a fair price. He and his partner did a quick, clean and thorough yard slope cleanup. Jose even shared some tips to maintain the slope. Will hire again for other gardening jobs around the house."

"Matt and his team did a fantastic job of turning my failed effort to grow grass into a yard my family loves. Im amazed how quickly a yard of dirt has been transformed into a yard with lush green grass, a fully automated sprinkler system and a great area of decomposed granite for a gathering area. Matt was very accommodating in additional requests I had and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Additionally, Matt has check back on the yard to ensue the new sod has rooted and provided additional fertilizer. His responsiveness after the work has been completed speaks says a lot about him and how he values his business and his customers."

"Fantastic! My lawns are beautiful because of the way they cut the grass plus sweep up the bits of grass on the sidewalks. Many times they will cut the top of a huge Bush that is nicely cleaned then. Also, he is on time each week!"

"William installed a new sprinkler system in my front and rear yard. He also seeded the areas needed for new grass, added decorative rocks, and mulch in places we requested. The price for all we had done was lower than expected, and very competitive with other estimates i received from other landscaping companies. He is very professional, and a great person to reach out to if you need landscaping done at your residence. You will not be disappointed with the end result!!!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Always begin by removing large debris, leaves, and branches from your lawn to make room for the rest of your lawn maintenance checklist. Move on to mowing, weeding, and edging in the spaces between your lawn and garden. Lastly, clean off all hardscapes, porches, and patios for a fresh and tidy appearance.

Starting a mowing business can be profitable if you manage your business wisely, calculate costs accurately, and invest in time-efficient, high-quality equipment. With good customer service, you can lock in loyal customers who invest in weekly lawn care services that turn your business into a successful one. 

Lawn care businesses can earn anywhere from $40,000 to over $100,000 per year depending on how you operate, but you’ll need to factor in the cost of equipment to determine your actual profit margins.

To reduce landscaping costs, you can implement several strategies at every stage. Consider doing the work yourself (DIY) to save on professional labor fees. You can also repurpose existing features and materials from other home projects. When purchasing new items, choose more inexpensive materials and opt for softscaping over hardscaping where possible. Another effective method is to buy young plants or plant from seed, which is more cost-effective than purchasing mature plants.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125 per visit, with prices typically ranging from $50 to $205. The final cost depends on several factors, including your location, yard size, lawn shape, accessibility, grass type and length, and the frequency of service. Lawns with obstacles, steep slopes, or hard-to-reach areas may cost more. If a company charges by size, you can expect to pay between $0.01 and $0.06 per square foot, or $150 to $200 per acre.

A general breakdown of costs by lawn size is as follows:

• 3,500 square feet: $35–$210

• 5,000 square feet: $50–$300

• 10,000 square feet: $100–$600

• 1 Acre: $150–$200

• 2 Acres: $300–$400

• 3 Acres: $450–$600

• 4 Acres: $600–$800

• 5 Acres: $750–$1,000

• 10 Acres: $1,500–$2,000

• 15 Acres: $2,250–$3,000

Keep in mind that these prices generally cover routine maintenance like mowing and edging. Additional services such as raking leaves, weeding, trimming, or applying pesticides can add $400 or more to your total cost.

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.
