James Petrillo, owner of IPM Landscapes, is an experienced environmentalist who opened a company to fill a gap for property owners who enjoy eye appealing landscapes but struggle to find services that produce a product with low ecological impact. During his tenure with PGA TOUR Agronomy, James developed his IPM approach. In the golf industry, there are many challenges to maintain a championship quality product. His time with the PGA gave James great access to and hands-on experience with, creating and preserving low-cost, environmentally sensitive areas registered with the National Audubon Society. In order to maintain Audubon status, these areas must be low-maintenance, esthetically pleasing and provide natural food and shelter for native wildlife. IPM is an acronym for Integrated Pest Management, an approach to dealing with the various pests of crops, landscapes, and structures, which incorporates multiple concepts from the disciplines of systems science, and ecology.
"Beware of this company, the work was average but the pricing was ridiculous and not communicated before doing the job, they just show up and send you a bill."

"After careful consideration we chose Braley and Finnegan to do a landscaping project for us. They did an excellent job cleaning up and removing the plants in front of our porch. They then picked new plants for the front of our house that were low maintenance and would not overgrow like our previous ones. They also brought in any necessary dirt and mulched. We loved their work and decided to hire them to improve our lawn and for regular maintenance and mowing. Our lawn has improved drastically since we started working with Braley and Finnegan. They are our go to company for any work that needs to be done in our yard!"

The optimal service frequency depends on your specific grass type, local growing conditions, and desired appearance standards. Fast-growing varieties like Bermuda and St. Augustine require weekly maintenance during peak growing seasons, while slower-growing types may manage with biweekly attention.
Most lawns benefit from a structured maintenance calendar that includes regular mowing during growing seasons and periodic treatments like fertilization and weed control at appropriate intervals throughout the year.
Lawn care primarily focuses on maintaining existing grass through services like mowing, fertilizing, and weed management, costing between $100 and $500 for regular maintenance.
Landscaping encompasses a broader scope, including design implementation, structural elements, and plant installation. While lawn care maintains your existing outdoor space, landscaping transforms it through significant changes to layout, features, and plantings.
Professional aeration services costing $75 to $200 deliver substantial benefits that justify the investment for most homeowners. The process creates thousands of small soil perforations that allow oxygen, water, and nutrients to penetrate the root zone more effectively.
This treatment particularly benefits properties with compacted soil, heavy clay content, or high-traffic areas. Most lawns show noticeable improvement after professional aeration, making it a worthwhile investment in your property's overall health and appearance.
Strategic approaches can significantly reduce lawn care expenses while maintaining professional-quality results. Combining multiple services into package arrangements often reduces per-service costs compared to individual bookings. Scheduling maintenance during less busy periods may secure better pricing from service providers.
Selecting grass varieties naturally adapted to your local climate reduces supplemental watering and treatment requirements. Balancing DIY handling of simple tasks with professional management of specialized treatments creates an optimal combination of cost efficiency and quality results.
Service demand fluctuates significantly throughout the year, influencing pricing patterns accordingly. Early growing season periods often feature higher demand and potentially premium pricing for services like fertilization and weed control. Fall cleanup services experience similar demand spikes as homeowners prepare for winter.
Many companies offer promotional pricing during traditionally slower periods to maintain steady business flow. Establishing a year-round service contract often secures consistent pricing regardless of seasonal demand fluctuations.
