Most things went well but communication wasn't great. That was a problem because we don't stay at the home full time. The lawn suffered as a result and each year it was less and less healthy. I would hire them again if I knew I would be present to monitor things they overlooked or ignored.

We used someone else for years. Lawn didn't seem to be improving, so we switched. I feel the lawn has made solid progress this year. We're pleased, and we'll be using Shannon again next year.

The initial contact with Bill was fine; he showed up on-time, was friendly, and gave sound advice. Scheduling the work to proceed took longer than expected, but as it was late spring, the delays were acceptable. The employees that performed the work were friendly and performed quality work....

"I am so glad I found Jonathan and his services. I lost my last landscaper as I think he was abruptly and wrongfully deported. The work Jonathan has done has been fantastic, above and beyond what I've had done before. My yard is very visible in my lakefront location, and I care how my yard looks to everyone walking/driving by.. I personally treat my lawn to make it look its best. Jonathan is very easy to work with and I thought, reasonable too! I will most probably use him for cleanup too in the fall!"

Elite Gardens Landscaping & Maintenance, LLC
With over five years of experience, Elite Gardens Landscaping & Maintenance, LLC is your full service residential lawn care provider. We are prompt and courteous and pay attention to every detail!
"Elite think they know more about what the homeowner wants than the homeowner themselves. They are rigid and inflexible. Even with 40 days of no rain, they want to show up and mow the lawn. They do an excellent job with cutting the lawn but they want to do everything their way. The billing is problematic. They send it to a very busy inbox that sees a lot of junk mail. It is difficult to sort out. I would prefer being notified by text message. After they did their fall clean-up, my koi pond was full of leaves that I had to dredge out. I am just going to trade in my old lawn tractor in the spring rather than having to deal with lawn services."

Check with local lawn care companies to confirm that they offer the services you’re looking for.
The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.
The recommended frequency to fertilize your lawn depends on the health of your lawn. If the grass is healthy and you have good soil, you may only need to apply fertilizer once yearly. However, if your lawn has shallow roots or poor, sandy soil that lacks the nutrients that grass needs to thrive, you may need to fertilize the lawn every six weeks.
On average, the cost to hydroseed ranges between $500 and $4,000. The cost depends on the size of the area you’re hydroseeding, the type of grass seed, slope of your yard, and other factors. Hydroseed is a mixture of grass seed, fertilizer, water, and mulch that you spray on the lawn using a pressurized sprayer. While the process is more expensive than seeding, grass will grow more quickly, and is often healthier.
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’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 cost to fertilize your lawn 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.
