We are a Landscaping Company that has been in business since 2005. In 2008 we bought out our first company Affordable Landscapes of Taunton Massachusetts. After 17 successful years of making customers happy with Quality, Quantity and Price, we continue to provide the most affordable lawn care service out there.

"DO NOT USE QUEST. I like so many others took faith in the positive reviews and employed them for a season (this was before any negative reviews). I thought, wow, and they are so inexpensive, I really lucked out. This was a big mistake... a CATASTROPHIC mistake that resulted in the absolute destruction of my lawn (see the photos). When I asked what the heck happened, the staff sheepishly mumbled something about the mower overheating and to trust them, and that "the grass would bounce back". It DID not. The owners DO NOT maintain their equipment properly. I suppose this is how they can offer such supposedly inexpensive services. I guess I got what I paid for. BUYER BEWARE. More shockingly, they absolutely refused to take ANY responsibility WHATSOEVER. I tried to contact them THREE times to work on coming to some sort of solution and they NEVER responded. Now I'm left with the short end of the stick, and solely bear the brunt of their disaster. There are so many good landscaping companies out there in the Attleboro area, and Quest is definitely not one of them. If anything I hope my tragedy will give you cause to consider spending your money with a competent business, instead of taking a chance on this fly-by-night operation."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. 

Clover lawns stand up better against dog and cat urine than traditional turfgrass. If your pets love to hang out on the lawn on a sunny day—or if you find yourself with a lot of visiting neighborhood dogs—you could save yourself from yellow and brown patches by making the switch to a clover lawn.

The cost ranges from $50 to $200 per visit, depending on the property size and services required. Larger properties or additional tasks like fertilizing may cost more.

The best time to apply fertilizer to your lawn is in early fall, though some climates necessitate a different schedule. In most cases, avoid fertilizing late into fall, as this opens up your yard to winter injuries and poor health (though this is a great time to kill weeds.) You should avoid early spring fertilization, as this helps the grass leaves grow, but at the expense of developing root systems. Remember to water your lawn after fertilizing to increase its effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of runoff during a rainstorm. 

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.
