"My Pro was exceptionally good with the hand at task I would recommend him to everyone... To bad Angie is probably going to screw him because he hired from them by Walmart and I paid my service charges but Angie of course wanted to play stupid... Good job all around for my gye that came out though"

"They came when they said they would. I prefer to pay as I go and they did not require prepayment for their services. We will soon be discussing other lawn maintenance issues that concern me and if the solution is a viable one, they will be doing this as well. In other words, at this point I am happy with their work and would definitely recommend this service."

"David was ready to take on the job we requested. They showed up on time and did a really good job. We had purchased the wrong door and they even returned the door and took care of getting the correct product. He and all his workers were friendly and they work really well together on doing a good job. I am planning to hire them again the first of year for another project."

"LHLandscaping was difficult to get in touch with by phone or message initially, but they did come to the house in person. There was a minor issue with a part of the lawn they neglected to mow because it was behind another gate in our backyard, but they quickly responded when I made them aware of the issue and they came back to fix the problem very quickly. I am sure this is a busy time for them with everyone getting their first mow in, so I certainly appreciate their work."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Allerton, IL

Hiring a professional saves you time and can actually save you money in the long run. Without regular care, your lawn might develop problems like thatch buildup, diseases, or pests, which can be expensive to fix. A pro keeps your lawn healthy, so you can enjoy it without the hassle.

Mowing your lawn yourself is generally cheaper than paying someone to do it. While a lawn mower can cost between $80 and $2,500 depending on the type, professional mowing services charge between $30 and $80 per visit. Investing in your own mower means that over time, you can save money by handling the mowing yourself, especially if you maintain your lawn regularly.

While the wording may vary from company to company, lawn maintenance typically includes all the services that keep your current healthy lawn looking sharp. Think mowing, watering, weeding, and a spring or fall cleanup.

Lawn care digs a bit deeper. These packages may include services that elevate your lawn's health or address an issue throughout the year. Fertilization, pest and weed control, and dethatching all fall into this category.

There is no set-in-stone schedule for mowing your lawn, as each grass variety grows at a different rate depending on the season. Once you determine the type of grass in your lawn and its ideal height, aim to remove no more than the top third of the blade at a time to retain its healthy structure.

In the high growing season, this will likely break down to about once a week, which is why lawn care specialists often offer weekly plans.

Don’t mow your grass if it hasn’t grown more than one-third of its height since you last cut it. For example, if you want grass no more than 2 inches, don’t mow it until it’s 3 inches. Don’t cut your grass when wet, as it clumps together and places more stress on your mower’s blades and makes it harder for the sun to reach the turf. This can lead to mold or disease. Conversely, don’t mow when it’s too dry. But, if you do, be sure to raise your mower’s deck height by about half an inch to encourage slower growth.

Yes, landscaping can significantly add value to your home. High-quality landscape design offers a return on investment of 20% to 30%. A well-maintained lawn and attractive outdoor spaces enhance your property's curb appeal and market value, making it more appealing to potential buyers when you decide to sell.
