Get matched with top lawn care pros in Westville, IL

For most people, hiring a lawn care service is well worth the expense. Some homeowners thoroughly enjoy cutting their own lawns, but even so, it’s a time-consuming process and it likely won’t yield professional-looking results. Hiring a lawn mowing company frees up your time, and guarantees that your home looks well maintained and remains healthy year-round. Many lawn care companies also offer services like snow and leaf removal to keep your lawn in tip-top share during the cold-weather months.

Property managers handle maintenance by scheduling routine checks, coordinating repairs promptly, and engaging qualified contractors to maintain property conditions.

Routine lawn care costs between $50 and $250 per service, with an average of around $100. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you’ll pay will depend on a few different factors:

• Size of your lawn

• Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions

• Requested services 

• Home’s location

• How quickly your grass grows

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.
