Do lawn care companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, landscaping companies require a business license to operate legally, and some require additional licenses, like general contractor licenses. You can use Angi's <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">our contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm if a company in your area holds the necessary licensing. Equally as important as the license is insurance. Before hiring any lawn care company, you should confirm that it is fully insured. This measure protects you from lawsuits, and it also protects the employees in the case of an injury or unemployment.</p></div>

Which lawn treatments are the most important?

• <div><p>Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-water-lawn.htm">water it regularly</a>, and take care of pests the moment they arise. </p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to fertilize your own lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, it can be cheaper to fertilize your own lawn. DIY lawn fertilization saves the cost of hiring a lawn care company or a company that specializes in lawn fertilization. It&rsquo;s important to handle fertilizer carefully to avoid the potential dangers of getting fertilizing chemicals on your skin. Also, using the wrong type of fertilizer or misapplying it can permanently damage your lawn. On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-fertilize-your-yard.htm">cost to fertilize your lawn</a> using a professional lawn care service is about $250 and may be worth checking into as professionals tend to have the equipment and knowledge to apply the most effective blend of fertilizer to your lawn for the best results. </p></div>

Q: Which grass is closest to St. Augustine?

• <div><p>Both zoysia grass and bermuda grass are somewhat similar to St. Augustine because they&rsquo;re all warm-season grasses. Beyond that, most grass types have unique properties that set them apart. Zoysia grass costs twice the price of St. Augustine grass on average and it has thinner blades and a deeper green appearance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bermuda-vs-st-augustine-grass.htm">Bermuda grass, compared to St. Augustine</a>, has much thinner blades, is softer to the touch, and has a higher tolerance for colder weather.</p></div>

Q: How often should I fertilize a lawn?

• <div><p>How often you should fertilize your lawn depends on its health. A healthy, lush lawn with good soil health may only need fertilizing once per year. Other lawns with shallow roots or that have been neglected or overly reliant on fertilizers may need an application as often as every six weeks.</p></div>

They have been pretty good although I don't think they are a local company. I am not sure whether it is a franchise. I pay about $140 for four treatments. They are pretty knowledgeable and they get rid of a lot of the leaves and stuff in my yard; that's why I called them. They don't necessarily...

I would say the experience went very well except that we went through a couple of years of drought and so despite their best efforts, my lawn did not really look as good as I would have liked, but I think they did what they should have done and it was just the weather, so I can t really blame...

I have been very satisfied with them. Last year, they came out on time. I had not even asked them to plug the lawn. I had an underground fence for my dog. I was afraid that they would cut through the fence. So, when I went out and spoke with them, they did not think it would be a problem. They...
