Choosing a Lawn Care Service
Spring is here and you are ready to give your lawn some love.
Hopefully you have your lawn sprinkler system set up with timer in place. Perhaps you’ve also decided now is the time for someone else to take care of the lawn care maintenance of your yard.
No problem. Just make sure you don’t sacrifice maintenance for quality. Here are a few guidelines to follow when choosing a lawn care company:
- Determine what you want from your lawn care service. Is this just weekly mowing, or something more involved/specific? Different lawn care companies can offer different services. Know what you want.
- Determine your budget. This is always a good idea when you decide to “shop around”. Don’t overpay for a service you don’t need or can’t afford.
- Check credentials and ask for references. It’s a good idea to have some knowledge of the owners and/or the supervisors. Ask the company for references and photos of previous. They may point you to the company website or social media page for the photos, but the references are important. They help provide a clearer picture of the company’s work and level of customer satisfaction.
- Get it in writing. A written contract should outline all the services to be provided and the cost associated with those services.
