They are very reliable, always do good work. If the lawn doesn’t need mowing they are just fine with not charging us for that week. They remove snow for us as well. If we call them they will come out right away. They have great customer service.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Mowing is very good for your grass. It encourages the grass to grow back thicker and healthier. Keeping a lawn thick and healthy will also block out weeds that could stop grass from growing. Cutting your grass on a regular schedule will ensure your lawn continues to grow healthier with each season.

Apply fertilizer in early spring and late summer to promote robust growth through the seasons.

In most municipalities, lawn mowing companies only need a business license to operate. However, in some areas, landscaping companies must be licensed, insured, and bonded. Working with an unlicensed and uninsured company could mean you’re liable for any injuries on your property, which is a major risk that’s best to avoid. You can use Angi’s state license lookup tool to ensure that a company holds the proper licensing in your area before hiring them.

Every lawn is different, but mowing at least once a week is a good goal to stick to. If you’re seeing a lot of rain, or if you’re fertilizing your grass, you may need to mow as often as every four days. Either way, always follow the one-third rule: Never mow more than one-third of your grass height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in all the proper nutrients from the soil.

Yes—hiring a professional lawn care company is worth it if you don’t have much free time to devote to lawn care. Lawn care pros will ensure that your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, and you’re guaranteed to have a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aside from that, it’s a convenient service that frees up your time so you can do the things you love and enjoy.
