"We lost our original landscaper in July of this year. By the time we hired Belmont Landscape the yard looked like an Amazon rain forest. Oscar and his crew did an amazing great job!! In one day the back and front yards now look fine. They cleaned and removed all debris, mowed the grass and trimmed bushes as well as cut down weed trees. We highly recommend Belmont Landscape!"

"Kyle was great. Came for an estimate right away and completed within the week. He pulled out and replaced a bush that was infested with poison ivy. I couldn’t get anyone else to touch it. "

"The work that they did to my landscaping was amazing. They redid the edging, removed all weeds and old mulch & put down new mulch. They also mowed the front and back lawn. I love the way everything looks and I would highly recommend them."

"Premier helped us get our lawn back in shape. We lost 40% of our lawn from the drought in 2021 and we had an outdoor anniversary party planned for September. The results were absolutely amazing and so fast! Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for our party!! We are so grateful. Greg was really personable and a responsive guy. He obviously loves what he does and wants to be sure you are happy with his work. He is great on follow up and shares his advice on how to make your project successful. I would gladly recommend him for any type of lawn or garden job."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Amherst, NY

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.
