Do lawn mowing companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state license lookup tool</a> to ensure that a company holds the proper licensing in your area before hiring them.</p></div>

Will a professional leave grass clippings on the lawn, and why might this be beneficial?

• <div><p>Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn’s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.</p></div>

How long do lawn stripes last?

• <div><p>On average, lawn stripes will last about <b>two weeks</b>. This timeline gives you plenty of elbow room to perfect your skills since your designs will always fade if you’re unhappy with the results. For best results and to keep your grass healthy, change the direction of each stripe every two weeks. </p></div>

I came in via tow truck with a growling sound and sort of a burning smell after driving about 20 miles toward Beckley from Princeton on I-77. The front office service is a bit slow, but once they pulled my car in to look at it, everything moved along well. They welded some kind of exhaust shield...

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Depending on the method you choose to remove grass, it may or may not matter whether the grass is wet or dry when you perform the task. A dryer lawn will be easier to negotiate with a sod cutter, especially if you're not planning to reuse the turf. However, using a shovel by hand might be a little easier if the ground is slightly damp but not so much that it sticks to the tool.

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.

Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn’s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.

Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.

On average, lawn stripes will last about two weeks. This timeline gives you plenty of elbow room to perfect your skills since your designs will always fade if you’re unhappy with the results. For best results and to keep your grass healthy, change the direction of each stripe every two weeks.
