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.

"Never finished the job. We received a quote, approved it and heard nothing for over a month. He admitted he forgot. He said he was going to send four guys, to showed up late. They did not seem to know what was going on . My wife explained to them what she wanted, and to the owner a month before . Only part of the work asked was done. They kept on saying we will be back to finish. Still waiting . The owner and his crew basically called my wife a liar to me. Said she accepted the work and didn?t want to pay more. The quote was nearly $2,000 and we approved and were ok with that. The invoice came and was a little over $1,500 and my paid it right away. Now I know why it was lower , the job wasn?t finished . The kicker less than a week later weeds are growing back. The owner told me to use Round Up and that Round Up got a bad wrap and was basically harmless. I am a chemist and know better. It has left an extremely bad taste. I am having knee replacement surgery in a week ."

"Todd was extremely responsive and helpful with my overgrown backyard and weed infested walkway and driveway project. His prices were very fair and he promptly came and took care of everything. Follow-up spraying to ensure the weeds remained dead was conducted without even my having to ask. My property turned out so amazing I was able to list it for sale recently! "

FAQs for lawn care maintenance and mowing projects in Essex, CT

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.
