"I've recently overcome some medical issues. Unfortunately, this had caused my yard to suffer as I wasn't well enough to maintain it. And when I did feel better my lawnmower wasn't cooperating with my efforts to reclaim my yard. It really looked like one of the yards you'd see on social media. I was an embarrassment to the neighborhood. Fortunately, for me Kent Services stopped by one day and discussed my situation and set up a phased approach on how they could attack reconquering my out of control lawn. He cut the grass (more than once due to its height), trimmed the hedges and bushes including the massive extremely prickly holley bush and removed the treelings that began popping up due to lack of maintenance. I can now once again pull into my yard and feel proud of what I come home too. Thank you very much Kent Services for restoring my yard and my faith in what a neighborhood should be."

"This company has been very trustworthy and dependable. Olivia really knows how to care for and treat lawns. She has sprayed our lawn for fungus and specific weeds all season and the lawn looks great. She advises us to mow at certain lengths and timing. We had a drainage problem on one side of our house and she dug a drainage ditch and filled it in with rocks. She does all our fertilizing and pre-emergent weed control. This company is always right on top of everything that needs to be done and is very reasonably priced, especially for Seniors. I respect and appreciate the dedication to the customer that has been shown to me as a client."

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

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.
