"Gary's Lawn Service has been maintaining my lawn care needs since the beginning of the season and has done an outstanding job. Highly competitive rate, always can be counted on to show up when expected, extremely personable and professional, and the best part is that my lawn looks amazing. Not the slap dash work I have seen in the past from other providers. I no longer have to worry about clumps of grass left behind, ruts or huge divots left by mowers, or garden mulch blown all over the lawn. I highly recommend Gary's Lawn service!"

"Took four of us 20 minutes to clear away some junk which would have taken all weekend by myself. Then they graded away weeds and organic garden debris and leaves. Then they leveled out fresh top soil and provided proper grading for drainage. Then they laid and watered fresh dormant fescue sod, and gave me instructions for care. Worth every penny, took thier 4 man crew 6 hours to do a job which would have taken me a lifetime"

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.

Cut your lawn a bit shorter before the winter, typically between 2 and 2½ inches, depending on the variety of grass. On average, the best height to cut grass typically falls between 2 and 3 inches throughout the year. Aim for the shorter side of this range when you mow for the last time of the year to avoid common winter lawn diseases and moisture issues.

In most municipalities, lawn care and mowing companies require at least a business license to operate legally. However, requirements can vary by location, and some areas mandate that landscaping companies be licensed, insured, and bonded, or even hold a general contractor license. Before hiring any lawn service, confirm they are fully insured. This protects you from liability for injuries on your property and also protects the company's employees. You can use Angi's state license lookup tool to verify a company's licensing status in your area.

They compete for nutrients and water, potentially stunting desired plants.

Mowing at least once a week during the growing season is a good general rule. However, every lawn is different, and factors like frequent rain and fertilizer use can cause grass to grow faster, potentially requiring mowing as often as every four days. When you mow, always follow the 'one-third rule': never cut more than one-third of the grass blade's height at once, as this can weaken it and prevent it from taking in proper nutrients. For most grass types, the ideal height is around 2 to 3 inches, though some warm-weather grasses do better when kept shorter at about 1.5 to 2 inches.
