"Nothing is more important to the success of a project than effective communication. Throughout my entire project (e.g. requirements gathering, design, excavation, hardscape, landscaping, and planting) Xtra Care Landscaping & Design maintained excellent levels of communication and they did a fantastic job bringing our vision to life. From the project managers and customer service rep to the project crews and billing department, the entire team was excellent, easy to work with and responsive to our needs. Our new space looks fantastic!"

"Since the E B team did my lawn for years, I thought of them for mulching. On 7/2/22 they came with a full team, edged first, and then spread a nice layer of shredded brown mulch and smoothed it out. The result is beautiful, the price was right, and I am grateful that Ed's team was available for this work."

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"Twins Evergreen Landscaping crew was a pleasure to work with. Ashley and Juan walked with me with what I wanted done and Ashley provided me with a detailed estimate including the steps they would take to accomplish my project number of landscaping crew and a list of the cost of each step or product needed. I knew what to expect from the beginning and with the detailed estimate. The scope of work was understood and the work was completed timely with no issues. The landscaping crew were hard working and did a fasctastic job clearing my overgrown flower beds and yard. I didn't realize how much anxiety the state the yard was causing me until after they completed the job. I have hired Twin Evergreen Landscaping for byweekly mowing and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping. Ashley, Juan and their crew were definitely an answer to my prayers and I look forward to working with them for any future projects."

"Jesus was great. He didn't actually come himself, but sent someone from his team. The timing could have been better (I requsted them to come on Sunday - they couldn't make it until Monday afternoon). And I would have appreciated a touch more communication. But the lawn was cut beautifully (we have a somewhat tricky lawn and this was the first cut of the year, so it was a bit long in some areas). They removed some branches which had fell during a recent storm, too, for no additional charge. Overall, I'd highly recommend Jesus and his team. They will be doing our lawn for hte rest of the summer."

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Columbia, MD

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.
