"Eric responded quickly to my posting. In short order he came out to my house to see the area and provided me with a proposal that I fund to be fair and a good bit lower than another quote that I had. He and the crew did an excellent job and I'm very happy with the work. I highly recommend them."

"I worked with Misha for many years, right when he started his business. I was very happy in the start of our working relationship, but in the last 2 years I have grown very frustrated with him, because he keeps cancelling on me and is telling me he has very important appointments and clients and I need to understand. I talked to him about it a few months ago and he kept telling me that he still wants to work for me and confirmed that I was one of his first clients. I gave him another chance and he came once but he was supposed to be here this morning as agreed upon on Thursday. Yesterday after 1:00 PM he had texted he was not coming but can send someone else. I saw the text today and called him to ask who is coming and now the problem is that out of his 38 employees he claims to have not all show up Mondays - so long story short, he let me down again. Is that my fault I trusted him - yes it is, still horribly disappointing. Never again!"

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Charlottesville, VA

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.
