"Neighbor's Envy, LLC recently started cutting our lawn and they are fantastic! The crew does a great job cutting, edging and blowing away the grass clippings. The owner Chris is very professional, affable, dependable and responsive to questions. We just started using them for our lawn care, and had obtained quotes from multiple landscaping companies, and Neighbor's Envy’s price quote was the most detailed and reasonable. We are so happy with their work and their pricing. I would highly recommend Neighbor's Envy, LLC."

"It's no coincidence that "Reliable" is in the name--Bryan is not only reliable, but extremely knowledgeable as well; he knows his plants like the back of his hand! Our project was relatively small, but the ripping out of overgrown shrubs, digging out old, hard soil and working in the heat made it a BIG small job. Bryan's design for our front yard was perfect. The design reflected our taste, and showed my husband and I that Bryan listened to what we wanted. Bryan also did some masonry work on our pavers, and they look brand new. His worker was wonderful too; very kind and did a great job. Bryan came back twice to check on things (making sure the watering system was working correctly), which again exemplifies "Reliable". I would hire Reliable B&C again and again and again! You won't be sorry should you decide to hire Bryan. (it also helps that Bryan is a very nice guy and easy to talk to and collaborate with! He wants to see his customers happy!) -Amy Rosenthal-Laffey"

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Dover, NJ

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.
