Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

It never hurts to ask a lawn care professional if their prices are negotiable, but generally, they aren’t. However, you might be able to negotiate a deal on bundled services from the same lawn care service. Consider talking to your lawn mowing service provider about discounts on other services, like tree removal, leaf removal, snow removal, or weeding.

The price of lawn maintenance depends on your lawn's size and the type of services. The average homeowner spends around $300 on lawn care, but ongoing maintenance can range between $100 and $500 monthly. Regular tasks such as mowing will cost less than a specialized task like tree trimming and grass planting.

No, carpetgrass and St. Augustine grass are two different species. However this is a very common misconception and you may even find St. Augustine grass is mislabeled as carpetgrass. Carpetgrass does not have as much shade tolerance as St. Augustine grass, and has narrower blades with an alternating pattern (while St. Augustine grass has an opposite pattern). St. Augustine grass doesn’t have the weedy, high seedheads that carpetgrass produces.

If you have a manageably-sized lawn and the ground is relatively even and free of debris, a reel mower can be very effective. That’s because reel mowers provide a cleaner, more precise cut compared to power rotary mowers. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to stay on top of your lawn maintenance: Reel mowers can’t handle grass that’s grown too tall or dense.

The best times to mow your lawn are mid-morning or early evening. Mowing in the mid-morning, around 10 a.m., allows any dew to evaporate so the grass is dry. Cutting dry grass is easier on both the lawn and the mower, and this timing gives the grass blades time to recover in the sunlight before the peak afternoon heat. Alternatively, you can mow in the late afternoon or early evening once the heat of the day has passed. Avoid mowing too early in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and try not to mow during the hottest part of the day, as high temperatures and harsh sunlight can put extra stress on the grass.
