"I’ve used this service for three years and my lawn looks worse than it ever has. I wouldn’t leave this review, but unfortunately after being threatened to be taken to small claims court over $68 I feel the need to share my story. I received a letter last fall saying they were switching over to ACH, in order to continue service you had to update your account with ACH info. I thought, great! I don’t want to continue because my lawn looks terrible after 3 years of using them so I won’t update to ACH. Fast forward to spring 2022, someone comes and does first round and leaves an invoice. I email and say I was surprised to see the invoice (since I hadn’t updated to ACH payments) and honestly my lawn is awful and I don’t want the service. They say I had to provide 30 day written notice to cancel. Invoice is still due. I asked someone to come look at my lawn, no one comes. I call them a couple months later because my lawn looks EVEN WORSE if possible.. (huge thistles, weeds of every variety) I tell them I do not feel that I should have to pay this invoice for a service I didn’t expect to receive on top of the fact that 3 years of service has clearly not been effective. I showed pictures since no one would come out.. literally all I get in response is a threat to take me to small claims court if the invoice isn’t paid. Like after all the money I had already paid wasn’t enough, they really want to fight a customer over $68 rather than trying to mend a situation. All in all, they don’t care about you or the service they provide."

"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court. I won my case in February 2025 and I am still waiting to be paid the money I am owed. I do not recommend this company, buyer beware."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Cedar Rapids, IA

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.
